I am going to do this track - by - rail countdown to the release , on February 13 , 2014 , the day prior to Valentine ’s Day , of my book in the estimable 33 1/3 serial . It is a love letter to Aphex Twin ’s album Selected Ambient Works Volume II , which will commemorate its twentieth anniversary this class , less than a calendar month after my book ’s publication . More on my Aphex Twin book atamazon.comandBloomsbury.com . The programme is to do this countdown in the reverse order , from last data track to first . For reference , an early draft of the first appearance is on-line , as isthe ledger ’s seven - chapter table of content . The ledger ’s publisher postedan audience with mewhen I was halfway through the writing unconscious process .
There is some irony to doing this countdown since the playscript is already embark to folks who pre - order it via an on-line retailer such asAmazon , but the official date stands , and that ’s the target — the end date — of this countdown , February 13 . And for what it ’s worth , while the physical copy are get off now from retailers , the Kindle version wo n’t flex on until February 13 . Still , the digital version cost less .
As I ’ve remark onTwitter , this track - a - mean solar day approach is incisively the opposite of the book ’s advance , which is a aggregation of interrelated , reporting - based essays .

I am savour seeing the book pop up in people ’s Twitter and Instagram feeds :

And Mark Rushton , of Iowa City , manage to get his library to buy a copy . He post more images on hiswebsite :
The 2d most rarified of the two rare cart track on the record album , “ Hankie ” is one of the pieces that truly sounds like the sound figure of an interstellar horror motion-picture show , and that ’s on a record where just about everything could serve such a purpose . What would be more hard to assign to it is ease , which much of the record is often colligate with , despite the darker underpinning .

It opens with a stemma - in - the - ear groovy , and proceed to represent host to these shimmery motifs , synthesized violin that seek the unwashed ground between striking score and profound consequence . The tread of that string section is , briefly after the mid - point , considerably ready than the underlying pulse , and the whole thing can get stomach - churning at the right loudness .
This is the track that is on copies of the record with 24 but not 25 song ( the other uncommon piece being “ Stone in Focus ” ) .
And here it is revoke :
