 | I've lost a lot of interest in Warp, a lot of their releases don't get me so excited anymore. I think that
 Rephlex are far more dope and are a much cooler label.

 | Hopefully with realeses such as the new LFO album and Chris Clark's new album, that should set Warp back on track.
 
 But i agree. Some of the stuff coming out of Rephlex is
 killer

 | I just think there is far more buzz about Rephlex now than Warp. I don't really get excited about Warp stuff much now.
 Rephlex for me has taken over as number one cool electronic
 music label.

 | warp are positioning themselves to cater to a larger audience. this is a good move. they are broadening and
 becoming more diverse.
 
 rephlex has always been a dope label but warp is thinking
 long term with the music they are releasing lately.
 
 this is a good thing.

 | I'm digging ae's newer stuff actually - I went off them for quite a while though...
 I find warp a little too bland these days - Doesn't seem
 like they're taking any risks these days or releasing
 anything too interesting - They put out some obscure
 sounding stuff, but it's starting to feel a little
 contrived...
 Rephlex are definetly a lot more interesting to me these
 days - I actually really like their web site, reminds me of
 the mid 90's when electronic music was still kind of
 underground - The only problem with Rephlex is they take so
 long to release anything...
 I'm getting more and more into Planet Mu these days
 I seriously think warp need to be getting back to their
 electronic roots (they seem to be stuff in this late 90's
 post trip hop thing a lot of the time) - Otherwise I can see
 them becoming pretty predictable and lame.
 Warp and Mu are definetly leading the way these days IMO.

 | it seems so silly to argue over warp and rephlex.  there are so many other labels, and really you can pick and choise
 from all of them.
 
 rephlex has been doing some decent re-releases, but they're
 just re-releases.  warp has had some excellent releases i
 think.
 
 but like many folks mention, i'm just as or more excited to
 hear whats coming out on merck, morr, zod, neo-ouija,
 schematic, toytronic, planet-mu, peaceoff, drischi, etc etc
 etc

 | I always get the impression warp needs aphex and ae too much to dare mess with them in any way.. But it also seems like
 warp are stuck in a bit of an era and aren't taking
 chances/pushing electronic music anymore.
 I didn't really like that whole trip hop era (apart from
 ISDN), that's what warp still remind me of most the time -
 1996/7

 | Mu seems too much like "Hey, this is an electronic label, buy our shit because it is good."
 
 Rephlex seems to be "hey we thought this shit sounded good
 so we have released it"
 
 So Rephlex is cooler than Mu, if only for the attitude of
 the label.  It is also the least professional label I have
 ever seen, which adds to the coolness.

 | rephlex are wicked - they never comprimise - they release 1 or 2 excellent records a month and there are only about 2
 people working thee or so .
 they're always different with every release and they never
 get boring + you don't hear rephlex stuff on all the adverts
 and their records are cheape than other labels

 | I'm sure if I push myself and can remember more. But really there are like 4 top records labels for me. Probably you
 could exclude Breakin' but a lot of those other labels don't
 seem to have the same profile as the forementioned or they
 just don't stick in my head.
 
 What the hell happened to Akin and Irdial Discs anyways
 seeing as you brought them up?
