MAXIMO FUCKING PARK. That just about says it all. fucking hell. how far have warp fallen? anything to keep themselves afloat. Fucking art school pish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, i've listened to those maximo samples..it's pretty horrible, yes! warp wasn't all that lucky with new signings in the past few years..i hope that french guy is going to be something else. |
||||||||

||||||||

!!! is great. |

you lot are fucking terrible. omg i dont wank over one artist on WARP... they are the fucking anti-christ, forget those 16 years of ground-breaking releases, i've forgotten about all the good stuff they do now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But maximo fucking park man. come on. i can forgive some things, but.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why destroy those 16 years now? i bet they could come up with something better than maximo don't you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Maximo are arguably the most popular artists ever on WARP; their debut was top 20 hit and their album, out today has had 2 'picks of the week' in respectable weekend broadsheet suppliments. So that will enter high too I reckon, perhaps even a top 10. For WARP it's a very good move, and they aren't digressing too much cos their latest signing, Jackson is a deep house/techno artist. |

when i bought the rephlex compilation 'the braindance coincidence', it had a sticker on it saying some magazine voted them 'the coolest label on the planet'. i thought to myself, why rephlex? why not warp? and now i know why. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe they had a time machine? u cannot argue that rephlex is more important than warp. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I concur. |
||||||||
|

you people are just ordinary close-minded electronica geeks....and you need to grow up.. sorry p.s. maximo park are a really good band |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
maximo park are even fucking worse than the kaiser chiefs - if that is possible. |
||||||||
|
|

an era is obviously ending |

you are a sad sad person.. do you really believe that aphex twin and squarepusher and autechre are better than the complete genre of guitar music? G-U-I-T-A-R M-U-S-I-C have you ever heard of that term? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who said i don't like guitar music, you twat? |
||||||||
|
|

B-O-L-L-O-C-K-S better than B-O-L-L-O-C-K-S ! ! ! |

i mean : most of such comparisons usually end up shit. and ruin threads. sad, so sad |
||||||||

i prefer guitar music over electronica atm, but maximo park still aren't someone i'd give more than one quick listen..and i don't mind pop music either..just not my thing. and saying they're 100 times better that britney is silly..warp was never about that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
while Britney is 100 times better than Aguillera :D |
||||||||

Warp might *need* to start putting music out like this in order to make enough money to continue supporting our favourite electronic artists!! good point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i agree partly, but still i think warp should focus on sort of music they were promoting in the past..they were/are best known for electronic music and they should stick with it imo. they are very recognizable in the music scene, so that shouldn't be a problem - they should be setting trends, im sure there are a lot of electronica artists that could get successful enough even financially. it's sad to see they just took the easy way and went into mainstream apperantly. i haven't bought a warp release in surely over a year now.. |
||||||||

Fuck you. I can think of few more pathetic things than the people who take this so seriously, it's is if you people actually believe Warp personally spoke to you in a dream and promised you 'Everything we do will be cutting edge, and that means electronic!'. FUCK OFF. They don't have to release electronic music and they don't have to release experimental music. I think there ought to be more problem with them signing fairly repetetive electronic acts than giving the diverse musical tastes of their fanbase a little respect which you clearly don't deserve. They can release whatever they like, and if you don't like it I honestly advise you to buy the Maximo Park album and forcibly insert it into yourself over the next few hours. And besides, they aren't there to pander to your every wish, it's still a business trying to make money. I bet Warp regrets ever starting up when they realise they've accumulated a generation of narrow-minded cunts who think they are open-minded but cough up blood when something different happens. In fact I bet the only reason this bothers you is because Maximo Park have sold well, you snivelling little turd. |

"inteligent?" hehe... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure, they can release whatever they like..it just got a bit boring, that's all im saying. great for them if they sell a lot and if people like it. there are plenty of other lables that put out decent music nowdays :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they should have opened an allied label for that, just to preserve the warp name unspoiled :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They do have Arcola, Gift Records, Lex Records, and Nucleus already though. |

warp, shmarp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was a bit of a joke really..i still wish they would stay out of the pop music bussiness..i just hope the best selling artists won't get all the attention from warp officials now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah! Stay out of the pop business!? It's Joe Bloggs that decides who's popular - not Warp. And fucking well good on them for their shrewd vision yet again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah I may have been a bit strong, and it wasnt aimed at tolst, but I just really like swearing on the internet. and I really don't like the simmering nerdiness of electronica where people like to think they like experimental music but hate almost everything with singing or intruments. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lol, thats a clever way to alienate your audience. I thought WARP was an electronic label, fuck dat shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no need to pay attention what you say to me only because im a mod now :) j/k as i said, i prefer guitar music over electronica, and to be honest warp was never experimental to me..they were always presenting only the most accessible electronic music i think. and it's an odd situation on electronica scene atm..lots of other electronica labels seem a bit stuck atm.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sure back in the days when warp put out house/techno records, there were people who loved that. back then, they were probably disappointed that they started to bring out ambient stuff. its like with analord, people here know aphex for his more experimental works, and hate most of the analords, cos theyre really acid-y and techno. whereas people who gave up on aphex years ago when he stopped playing with analogue equipment love it. warp have just signed someone a bit different. get over it. i have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't hate maximo park..it isn't my type of music and i wouldn't be bothered one bit if they weren't on warp :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've always thought Warp presented the most inaccessible electronic music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not listening to electronica for over a year now and the main reason i stopped listening to it is that i kinda came to the point where ive listened so much of it that nothing can produce any emotions anymore, ive heard everything there is...and the scene didnt really progress for good 5 years or so...same all derivative crap... and the other reason is, i hated myself when i realized the fact that electronica fans are such immature bunch of geeks, that hang out in video games shops..so basically its just a silly childish fixation that "electronic" and "experimental" means, "hey im intellingent", and i started finding much more creativity and emotion in other genres...and i started to value other types of music much more... so if you played maximo park to me when i was 18...and was all into aphex and shit...i would be disgusted.... but now that ive lived a bit, experienced some other music, learned some things, ...i think maximo park are great...their single "apply some pressure" is one of the best singles of the year...and im so glad warp is slowly gonna shake off that bunch of ignorant geeky brats...and leave them to drink aphexs piss... for the rest of us..we get older...life goes on...music gets better... |

if you love electronic SOUNDS you just listen to electronic music [or not-much-electronic] - and don't give much shit about genres. i hope that when i grow up someday i'll be still listening to electronic music. |

Because for me that's the reason they are great. Tell me who else would have signed a few lads from Leeds in 1989 who had made some crazy 'acid house' track at home. What balls that took, and how it paid off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im not an immature geek. How many ROCK music fans listen to IDM ? They hate that "techno shit" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A few lads from Leeds = LFO and Nightmares on Wax. LFO's debut sold 120,000. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember when all the indie rags were openly dismissive of the "bleep" sound, the music press is always so shite. Anyway, I think somebody here is cross because Warp didn't want to sign them. |
