What is it about this independant record label that releases music you love, that you hate? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that i love? or that i hate? im confused i dont really hate anything about them other than the fact that they seem a bit slack with promotion etc... i can always find ninjatune t-shirts yet never any warp ones... that annoys me somewhat. other than that... nothing |
||||||||

wankers who are criticizing labels that should be praised when there are big huge labels that this negative energy should be focused on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This question isn't aimed at everyone...just some people seem to diss the label that releases music they buy/download...just wondered their reasoning or are they just repeating nonsense they've heard somewhere... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
-the music that starts to play everytime i go there. annoying. -the warpmusic/radio/visual section are un-organized/messy -the search function isn't the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which labels have warp dissed and when/where? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do not hate them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seems i've critisized the warp webdesigner and not the record label in itself... i'll get me coat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree! there web site hasn't been very good for a year or two.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was talking about the concept of this thread. why should we be complaining about warp records when they are releasing great album after great album of innovative music. there are much bigger and better targets for criticism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp te amo. how did you meeting go yesterday jivverdicker? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont get why people diss warp... and there countless threads about "are warp going downhill" i think its just silly... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh?? hate them? they have some of my fave artists... Aphex Twin, Richard Devine, Autechrre, Plaid ect... i'm even designing a Promo Warp 2004 Calendar for a college project which is gonna fit in a cd case. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I put it off 'till today and it was really good! I should be getting the new Mogwai album tomorrow which could be nice.... Ok mongol, ignore it then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think there are some things i don't blame people for resenting: -their prominence in the media and in the record store over other labels that also have really good artists -how they usually wait till an artist has proven himself on another label -the whole mira calix / intern thing (mira makes good music though) -projected frustration that when you try to talk about merck your friends only know warp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you lucky fucker, how are you getting the mogwai cd? if it has bonus tracks hook me up. you should do some remixes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"-how they usually wait till an artist has proven himself on another label" ...before signing a contract also, i think people are just frustrated with how people like aphex and autechre act, and blame the label for reasons unknown |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like warp im wearing a warp t shirt :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all those points are valid but I'm sure they worked really hard and gambled to get these privelliges. In an indirect way they must have helped all these brilliant new labels to have the confidence to risk their rent etc. in what they'd love to buy in a shop whether it's HMV or some local one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ignore it? no way... ignorance causes this kind of stupid thread concept in the first place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
unless of course, you started this thread so you could point out why people's reasons for disliking warp are bullshit... then it's a good idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was supposed to swap some things ages ago but because I'm really silly it didn't happen...I e-mailed stuart on friday, so I should get it tomorrow...I mailed him some of my crap too.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do want to challenge the fables about warp but if you think they're shit then brilliant!! I just find it annoying reading 'hate' things that have absoloutly no grounding... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with you fo sho.. did you download the demo mp3 on mogwai.co.uk (click audio)? it's a short electronic piece. apparently a lot of the new cd is very electronic. i played "sine wave" on my show sunday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it still available online?...I'll have a look... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea they just put it online a few days ago. if you're in the mood for mp3's i can give you some mogwai rarities (2 sine wave demos, import bonus tracks), but you have to let me know you want 'em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can I wait 'till I hear the new stuff.... I don't want to be put off, though they could be amazing!!! OK, please send them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i'll upload some things to a webspace, it should be ready in 10 minutes ok? when are you going to hook me up with some tasty bjork, automator, lfo, yodeling yak mp3's?! i think you mentioned the zack de la rocha tracks march 2002 ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't send everything!!! loads of it is work in progress ie. not very good at the moment...the 'B' thing will be a cross between stockhausen 'stimmung' and 'loads of silly beats/bass by me' vocals and beats..that's it!No DSP, no Orchestras, no hurdy gurdys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no accordian?! anyway i wasn't talking about your current betamax album i was thinking of the earlier ones you made that didn't come out ("building a building" for example). -- for anyone who wants any rare mogwai mp3's.. i'm not 100% done uploading yet but a LOT is up now. have at it! i'll take it down in a few hours. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"ignore it? no way... ignorance causes this kind of stupid thread concept in the first place." Just because some people dislike Warp, it doesn't make them ignorant. It's a matter of opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
building a building was such a great track!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
prove it! :) see what i mean tho? not your works in progress, just shitcanned finished songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
honestly...I can't give songs out that aren't finished...it's like seeing a picture of you half dressed. I got 2 'B' songs today that are 18 minutes each! It's really noodly and you wouldn't like it apart from the collector side. is 'b' playing in your town on the next tour? tell me and I'll get you on the list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no the only american tour date for the beta band so far is new york city. i'll let you know. paula and i are going to both days of :) i'll be back in 15 minutes.. those 18 minute jams sound fun, i'd like to hear, but that's not at ALL what i am talking about. i mean stuff that's years old and finished (we talked some about it last year). be back in a moment.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm back.. so anyway, you know what i mean right? hope you're enjoying the mogwai tracks.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, my girlfriend is doing the tour and I'm at home all alone trying to make the next album nice! I haven't got the mogwai ones yet..6 hours from now they should be thrugh the mail box..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i'll keep the mogwai server up till tomorrow morning, enjoy the mp3's. so what made you think of this topic? (warp... "Why Do They Hate Us?!" ;) ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since everyone is posting what they hate, (about warp, or about this post) i'll say what i love warp for: great music they have released that has enriched my life, and opened my eyes to many different types of music that i might have not otherwise been exposed to. thank you, warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was really cheesy sounding, but sincere.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It wasn't cheesy, it was heartfelt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you ever listen to warp 10+3, jivverdicker? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only recently.....there was some really nice things on there. Do you ever check the 'other music' site? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's an excellent compilation! i think a lot of people bash it cos it's mostly new remixes (not "classic" remixes) but i really enjoy it. other music... isn't that a music store in the uk? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
