257

Post by mister mint »

Has anyone noticed that the time from the http://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ site of 22-AUG-1996 02:57, specifically the 02:57, is connected to the release number of Tomorrow's Harvest? WARPLP257 and WARPCD257

I only look here but had to register to post this. If this is a duplicate post then please forgive my newbieness.

Yes! And I remember the number popping up a month ago when someone was plotting triangular numbers. It's pretty freaky..

Nice spot.

I wonder if there is any actual significance to the date in 1996 as well? I haven't found any notable entries in Wikipedia.

Probably math based though. Apparently it has numerous interesting prime classifications.

TWO other bits to ponder...

1. There does not exists a V.7.7 of OpenVMS

2. CAL3 is this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Lake_Airport ...in Canada

I searched a while back also. Even-though I cannot find any relevance or connection to events in history on that date, it doesn't mean there is none. Also significance could be connected in fictional works centered on that date.

it does seem as though they chose that catalogue number too. the warp records album releases are only up to 237 (mount kimbie) in the usual sequential release order. so BOC have jumped ahead and deliberately chosen that cat. number, rather than just taking the next sequential one.

257 in binary is

100000001

9 digits - tracks 1 to 9 (Gemini to Collapse) from start to end.

Tenuous? You betcha :D

Apparently 257 is also a sexy prime number.

I've seen sexier.

^ha, i was immediately reminded of this epic Aphex Twin Interview with this exuberant girl. He starts the interview sitting up then by the end he is like laying down.

I guess it still feels like something could happen, or be announced on August 22nd, significance of that date in 1996 aside. I remember all of their tweets for the longest time either took place on the 11th or the 22nd of the month...
