just heard Stuart Maconie play one of the tiny bits during The Freak Zone (on iplayer, from sunday night). 519225. Didn't say what it was, just pointed people at the 6music forums, which was odd.

that space seems to suggest the password is the number that goes in 5th place.

We couldn't have figured it out. Someone on WATMM says (about that cosecha-transmisiones.com site I think?)
"found this in the header of the index.php : aHR0cDovL2Qyejczdmg3Y3I3OXJ5LmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L2Nvc2VjaGEubXAz"
That is (paste that long code into the Base64 field and click Decode) http://home.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ -> " http://d2z73vh7cr79ry.cloudfront.net/cosecha.mp3 "
Which is another one of those mp3s, this one says 813386.

― StanM, Monday, 29 April 2013 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
curious as to whether they'll do the month-in-advance digital download thing for pre-orders like they did for autechre. which would mean it's only a couple of weeks.
― koogs, Monday, 29 April 2013 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
The preorder page says they'll transfer the mp3s to your bleep account on the release date.
― StanM, Monday, 29 April 2013 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, but they didn't say they were releasing the autechre early until they did...
no other format options though, i notice. or maybe they just use 'mp3' as shorthand.
― koogs, Monday, 29 April 2013 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
Didn't they release the ae mp3s after the album leaked? I thought it might have been something like that.
― StanM, Monday, 29 April 2013 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
I think it's become a tradition with AE to do preorders and then suddenly release the digital files to those people a month early, pretty sure they've been doing that for a while now. Exai hadn't leaked beforehand, because all the promos were aggressively watermarked and people seemed exhausted by the months of fake leaks before the last couple albums.
I wouldn't guarantee that the BoC will be released early, though you never know. In the case of AE I think Warp just likes the unreal desperation and wants to play along with what people expect.
