Ordering CD's on Warp in U.S.

I need to get Ae's Envane and Cichli Suite, but none of
my local record stores can order imports. Has anyone on here
from the U.S. ordered directly from the Warp website with a
credit card?

i know somebody who ordered a Warp t-shirt who went to my
school.

i was lucky enough to grab the import of Chiastic Slide in
an independent record store in town 3 years ago. it was
about $27, but it was worth it.

warp is great w/having FAST delivery

their record prices are the basic, and the shipping is
appropriate, they also send stickers, postcards, whatnot

i love warpmart

DON'T DO IT! unless you're rich. warp needs to learn the
hard way that americans don't want to pay expensive shipping
rates to get cd's that should be available domestically. if
they're not going to repress 'envane', both LFO albums
(WTF????), 'donkey rhubarb', the least they could do is have
a US warpmart to save on shipping. i mean they have a US
office.

my advice: ebay.

Alot of record stores can order it for you, try another.
I've never had a problem with any store before. Unless you
live in a hick town with one "record" store/hospital/sherif

Having had a look at the prices they seem quite reasonable
for going across the ocean.

The package will be full tits.

It's bullshit this US crap though, the contract states
'they'll exploit the music to their full extent' which is
pretty crap if they meant their extent 10 years ago.

yea, i dunno where you read that contract stuff but i
believe it.. i mean are there any other artists on the
roster whose WHOLE ALBUMS are out of print here like LFO? i
mean the aphex and Ae are just EP's, they should be in print
because they're top artists, but it's not like their whole
back catalogue.

thanks for the package whatever's in it.. are you listening
to my show tomorrow? i'm doing a sort of electro set for 30
minutes, i hope i don't fuck it up

sir titsalot, envane and cichlisuite are $9 each, a fair
price, and the shipping is $4.50 no matter the size of your
order. buy four or five albums and it's comparable to sales
tax (more than 7% where i live). and forced exposure has a
pretty broad, comprehensive stock. sure, w.a.r.p. and the
lfo are too expensive, warp's fault i think. here we have
for ourselves an embarrassment of artistic riches, and we
quibble over a few dollars.

honestly, i don't think lfo sells too many records, despite
their legendary status.

envane and cichli suite are decently priced, but they'd be
even cheaper if they were still in print here.. my point
isn't so much that FE is overcharging as it is that warp is
shooting themselves in the foot by not reissuing LFO and
select Ae and aphex EP's and compilations.. only the
hardcore fans are willing to shell out a lot of money for
imports. i don't see why i should have to pay a few dollars
more for no good reason; money's money.

btw LFO 'Frequencies' sold massively when it came out and
remains one of the label's top sellers. same with LFO
singles. and it's regarded as the first techno classic album
so it's kind of baffling why it'd be out of print here. the
2nd album is a lot less popular but it's still a big artist.
it's just a weird situation.

hmm it's not just LFO, NoW has an out of print album, sabres
of paraside' whole discog is OOP, even black dog 'bytes'
isn't available here and that's another "classic"

they've got to be preparing to reissue these though....
right?

"bytes" is REALLY a classic, which Nightmares isn't
available?

i was just charged 11.9 USD for shipping (by warpmart)
oh, and i live closer to uk than americans...how about that

Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



"bytes" is just as surprising as "frequencies" really.. i
mean that's like not printing "incunabula" or "i care
because you do".. totally senseless

the NoW is 'a word of science'
the rest seem to be in print on one label or another

it sucks.. i'm sorry for you. i wish they had these cd's for
sale in your country so you didn't even have to pay
shipping.

i'm not trying to be the ugly american here but the US is a
bigger country than slovenia and we have a lot more music
buyers, so i think it's fair we should have a US warpmart
even though the rest of the world outside of the UK is in
the same situation as us.

and i think prices on warpmart are way to high
i was ordering from some smaller labels in the past and i
got cd's for almost half of price on warpmart
well, if this high prices work for them, what can you do...

Points: 5678 Status: Lurker



lfo sold a lot of records years ago. imo, "frequencies" has
not aged well and sounds very dated, despite its status as a
classic among some.

i remember when it was very difficult to get any electronic
releases at all, when the internet was not an available
resource. also, i remember when imports were really
outrageously priced, how about $22 for a cd ten years ago?
how about $30? so to me, this all sounds too much like the
complaining of the spoiled.

considering theyre supposedly cutting out the middle man,
theyre a rip-off. i still use real shops - cheaper & more
convenient

you should come and live here...22$ is a good price for an
import cd as we need to pay the import tax, but im not
really complaining, if i'd think its to expensive i'd just
download it - not going to happen tho

i order from warp on occasion.
they usually kick me free stuff.

i've gotten promo vinyl (one that just said "autechre album"
on it, i can't remember off hand which album it is.., and i
got the AntiPop Consortium promo vinyl)
and i've gotten a variety of stickers and other tidbits.

and i'll confirm recycle's assertion that they are damn
fast.

to it shouldn't be un affordable.

I've bought quite a bit of stuff from warpmart and it didn't
seem overpriced and it arrived pretty fast. Hell, 26 mixes
was here a week before the release date as well as Drukqs.

warpmart is a little expensive sometimes but really not any
more than other import (to the u.s.) shops. actaully their
shipping rates are pretty decent compared to some other
stores, and the selection is good.

including shipping my last order of 4 cds came to only about
$14 per cd, cheaper than local stores, and the cds probably
aren't even in stock anyway. (of course one of them was an
ep and one was the warpmart label sampler, so the price for
a full-length is probably a higher).
