I'd have to say: The Other People Place - Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe This album is pure shit. Repetitive and boring beyond belief. Two thumbs down Warp. I feel cheated for buying it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jimi Tenor: Out of Nowhere. Definitely. That was a pile of poo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most of their releases are average or shit, particularly over the past couple of years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they certainly have alot of weak shit don't they, fortunately i haven't bought any |
||||||||
|

Warp is mostly bland techno-house music, although they have their all-stars, such as Aphex, Squarepusher, AE, Plaid, & Brothomstates. The other artists that are signed don't show the same aspect of music as they do. |

??What a strange thing to say... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
therefore, flea-man, your strange use of question-marks is understandable. just having 5 of the "IDM supastars" (HAHA) should be quite enough for any label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes they may have the big names, but it is not much good having the big names unless they release good music. The number of albums being released is dropping, and dare I say it, the quality of the albums they do release is lower than it ever has been. (btw I don't buy into this "contract ending" bullshit) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any other label "better" than WARP then? I think there are weak releases, but the good titles are so big, that easily there is no other label that can surpass WARP achivements |

LFO B12 Sabres of Paradise 2 LONE SWORDSMEN Richard Devine Prefuse 73 Jamie Lidell CHRIS CLARK Mira Callix.. APC and I really hate saying this.. BoC any of these ring a bell??... what the hell more do you want from a label and I |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

look to the smaller labels if you hold an interest in the genre. warp is just holding up the front-end of the genre.. it was revolutionary in it's time.. but now it's releases are largely commercial rephlex, mu, tigerbeat.. start there :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to call Warp commercial is a bit much. they're still small in comparison to real commercial labels. anyway, richard devine is on schematic, and I agree with Clic - schematic is a more interesting label at the moment. still, anybody listen to the warp 2003 demo? I d/l the 54 Mb mp3 (!) last night - haven't listened to it yet. (it can be d/l from the Tefosav site - there is a link in a thread on the Planet Mu phorum..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Squarepusher said that since LFO frequencies Warp produces shit. Its a bit strong... I agree with weatherred, Laptop café is boring. The rumour says that the album was done by a guy from Underground Resistance. Now i understand why its shit... For me jimi tenor is cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wouldn't that mean that Jenkinson contributes to that "shit" too..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He does, and he hates it. Thats why he started up Rephlex - so he wouldn't help out a bunch of no name, no talent artists. ^^not exactly as he put it, but close enough |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, imho Warp is more commercial than, say, Mu, but this doesn't mean hat they produce shit. They just HAVE to produce things that set curent music stream - and, in some way, they follow the stream themselves. Look at this 'satanstornade' shit - Warp just HAD to pay attention to growing noize interest; Mu didn't - Mike just presses what he wants. Warp is good and _important_, but small labels also rule. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp is small, it is by no means a huge or mainstream labels. anyways, theres a bunch of crap on it but i like a lot of it, autechre, 2 lone swordsmen, mira calix, aphex, go plastic(dont like any other release of his), prefuse73, boc and some other stuff im forgetting probably. |
||||||||

fuck labels its the music. |
||||||||
|
|

i mean thats what its down to. |

|

|

this thread is such crap. stop whining. i sometimes wonder if you guys actually heard arrythmia, vocal studies, sketchbook, or double figure. you guys act like warp has signed the chemical brothers and are aiming at the top of the charts. pull the stick out of your asses. it's ok to prefer one label's output to another's, but stop the melodrama. |
||||||||

btw qrter, is this "pool party" mp3 at tefosav the entire mix cd? it seems like a short file, especially if it's encoded at 320kbps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that mp3 is the whole mix, but it's not at 320. It's VBR and at a lower quality VBR than the version I uploaded to elusive's ftp |
||||||||

The DJ Maximus - Armani Versaci EP Absolutely horrable |
||||||||

d'oh! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well fuckin' 'ell!!! where can i get the version you uploaded? this is killin' me, yo. ever since i came home (and had to install AOL for free net access) i haven't been able to use FTP's (no matter what prog i use), and now elusive's server is down regardless. can we work something out? i'd really appreciate it. i want to hear this mix before 2003... |

Warp has been around for a long time. Chances are they'll still be there 10 years from now. I've seen lots of good labels disappear without a trace but Warp keeps going on. |

||||||||

They also help distribute other labels like Lex as well... STOP WHINNEYING! :P |
||||||||
|
|

lex is great so far, well i mean seed to sun is excellent.... |
||||||||
|
|

Need to grab that sometime... *puts on list* |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

yeah stop fucking whining, and if you've got a brain in your head, perhaps you'd listen to something you DID like rather than shit you didn't.... duh |
||||||||
|

|

YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT! 1. This thread is NOT crap 2. This thread is not dissing warp 3. This thread is to discuss warps WORST release, NOT why warp sucks. 4. Fuck you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The DJ Maximus - Armani Versaci EP I agree with that. That is the worst fucking piece of shit I've ever heard on Warp. Fuck knows why they released it. Warp is the only label I consistently buy from. Dipping into other labels - ESPECIALLY REPHLEX - disappoints much more often than Warp. I've bought probably about 30 or 40 CDs from Warp, and only about 3 of them are what I'd describe as poor. |
||||||||

|

the other people place was a side project of drexcya.. its not my favorite album.. but its nice for what it is.. a detroit style ambient techno album and you wont have to worry about him releasing any more 'repetitive and boring albums' ..he's dead now and yeah..i've always thought this whole warp bashing thing was kinda lame... if it werent for warp... most of these smaller labels probably wouldnt be around today.. hell, they even helped richard and grant start rephlex people are so paranoid about the music going 'mainstream' ..sure, warp's artists have gotten the most exposure.. and theyre the most successful label in the genre.. its not like theyre BMG or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
something by mira calix IMO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I owe a lot to warp the worst warp release doesn't mean its a crap release, because they've put out such high quality stuff far more continuously than other labels |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAWII by Aphex Twin Kidding! Uh-oh. *retreats as angry Xltronic swarm approach menacingly* |

I'd have to say for me most of the music I've got comes from probably 2 labels, Warp and Rephlex. I think those who are perhaps new to this music may not appreciate the older stuff from both labels but those who've lived through both will understand. For me Clear Records use to be an excellent record label as well but they just dissappeared over night. So although Warp are still number 1 for me and I would say Rephlex a very close second there were/are other labels that I rate highly to, like Clear, R&S, Rising High, Planet-Mu etc etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rising High. I have Techno Classics volume 1 & 2 and I was shocked to see an early Technohead project on Vol 2. I have the house mix of 'House is Mine' on 12" too. |
||||||||

|
Hes dead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
geezus... some of you are never happy... what the hell do you want? some sort of fantasy label? at least in theory, most of Warp's releases are quite valid and worthy of release. anyway... Warp has to sell some records if they are going to survive, and are allowed to try to please different tastes... at least they never put out any Trance megamixes. they have been about as successful as possible (and pretty much without precident) without pandering overly to commercial trends, or being just mainly a "one artist" with followers label. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah he died a few months ago...not sure of the exact details though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHY do most people not like mira calix? i think its great, whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sparrow is a beautiful tune. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mira Calix I've heard I was expecting big things. I don't want to be offensive but I get the feeling it was just a case of tokenism. Personally it has to be some of the weakest stuff I've heard on Warp. I may need to listen to it a few more times because it seems like the jury is out on this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like one or two tracks by Mira Calix, but the rest I just cant get into.... and I have her ep and her full length now.... and givin it many listens... I just dont dig it, its not my thing. I think its pretty marginal stuff for warp, and I am sure she had some help from sean ... but I guess its neat to see a girl make some IDM tunes, I dig that aspect of it, but her music is lacking, this is all just IMO. please dont take offense |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The mira calix stuff is much underrated in my opinion. People seem to be almost eager to slag her stuff off. It's really not terrible at all. Sparse minimalist electronic is fine when it's Autechre, but done by a woman?!? and she's obviously sponging off her hubby, oh yes. < /sarcasm > |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you still not like it? cos I think its a masterpiece |
