I am going to do this get over - by - track countdown to the release , on February 13 , 2014 , the day prior to Valentine ’s Day , of my book in the honorable 33 1/3 serial . It is a making love letter to Aphex Twin ’s album Selected Ambient Works Volume II , which will mark its 20th anniversary this year , less than a month after my book ’s publication . More on my Aphex Twin book atamazon.comandBloomsbury.com . The plan is to do this countdown in the inverse order , from last running to first . For reference , an other draft of the introduction is online , as isthe book ’s seven - chapter table of contents . The book ’s publishing house postedan interview with mewhen I was midway through the writing process .
There is some irony to doing this countdown since the book is already ship to folk who pre - ordered it via an online retailer such asAmazon , but the prescribed date stands , and that ’s the target — the end date — of this countdown , February 13 . And for what it ’s deserving , while the forcible copies are mailing now from retail merchant , the Kindle version wo n’t twist on until February 13 . Still , the digital variation costs less .
As I ’ve mention onTwitter , this raceway - a - twenty-four hours plan of attack is incisively the opposite of the Bible ’s approach , which is a ingathering of interrelated , reporting - based essays .
And when I come across images of the book in people ’s Twitter and Instagram feeds , I ’ve been including them in these coundtown post :

The Christian Bible ’s emphasis on the peculiar tenaciousness of the album ’s repute for being “ Beatles ” is not to suggest that it is devoid of vapor . Quite the obstinate , it is a disk establish from vapor . It ’s just that deep amid those vapors is the schematic musical restraint of “ Lichen ” and the rhythmic pounding of “ Shiny Metal Rods , ” and even the most vapourous cut have the inherent pulsing of a sine undulation ’s ebbing and current . And then there is “ Tree , ” which is at the extreme end of sine wave as melodious form , thick fop that add up to form a pattern beneath slow - movement riffs from achingly crafted violin tonus .
