what's a battles? btw, they should sign abba and make them release new album and then start signing quality electronica artists like they used to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BEANS!!!???????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seeing as my existence is threatened, I'd rather not tell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
battles is a major "meh..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder how long this one will last for |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they keep getting money makers because they've outgrown their shoes |

I thought Battles would be a great band since Ian Williams & Ty Braxton are involved but the EPs were disappointing, they're good at what they do but it's pretty boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The sample on the site is better than expected but still bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...what? Warp... sign... battles...? I had this mental image of Sean Booth holding up a big BITE ME sign in the general direction of, oh, let's say Tom Jenkinson. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You know, those samples aren't that bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everybody check battles remix of foour tet's a joy. simple but VERY effective i hyped them to my friend, dreamed about them, and 2 days after that warp info was in the mail....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf is with sign battles?!!?! a load of authors of poor quality IDM (like me) fighting over who gets signed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this sounds pretty good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM WWF wrestling - just as uncontrolled and random, but instead of smacking eachother over the head with chairs, you throw Rolands around at each other, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, there are so many idm grannies that can't stand having a label develop in more than one direction. this thread is bound to be filled up with complete horseshit. warp signing music with guitars ≠ selling out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If they were innovative guitar acts I wouldn't mind, but they're just cash-cow indie bands. Breaking news: Warp sign Menswe@r! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what warpbands are "cash-cows"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maximo Park. They sound like Shed Seven. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how are they cash-cows? you think they make warp tons of cash? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably more than Jimmy Edgar or something. It's pretty safe to say. I think they should concentrate on dancefloor bombs, that are super-fresh production-wise but also awesome fun to dance to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it's their label. i don't think i've ever seen warp made a "cash over quality" decision yet, although a lot of people are whining like babies over it. i think they still have some great electronic releases as well, "bounce, make, model" is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, there are other labels of course. They can do what they like, obviously. I think the last Jamie Lidell album was class. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like i give a shit nowadays, warp can shove all their new artists up their fucking arses, the cunts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u could say that about all the artists they sign though; how do u know a cash cow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Cause an indie band with big-arse pop hooks and trendy haircuts is gonna sell purely lodsa more rekkids than some obscure electronica guy. But, it's one of the greatest ever British record labels, so who am I to judge? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are Battles another "Indie" band though? They don't have big arse pop hooks either. I can't see Warp getting any return on Battles, but I think they are an interesting group to sign. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened to the sample and it seemed very unexciting , not very thoughtful original or good . so this probably means i should start sending demo's to warp records! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm. Perhaps you guys didn't notice the IDM elements, or the way the tone developed through the sample. I thought it sounded neat. I don't like indie rock, but occasionally there is some rock music that catches my attention. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This isn't what I'd call Indie perse, it's something more like post rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i read an interview by maximo park (for some reason) and the general gist was that they sent a demo to Warp without really expecting to be signed. they sent a demo to warp? the warp site always says that theyre not accepting demos?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats the best way to tell people no when they get a demo they don't want. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i suppose - probably just to discourage all the shit artists (like me) from bothering to send demos, lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm also tired of all the message board whining every time Warp signs a new non-IDM artist. They have never been a pure electronic label, in fact they have been releasing crossover music such as Seefeel, Jimi Tenor and Broadcast since the middle 90s. Battles sounds very promising to my ears |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If they like an album, they will release it. There not really the kind of label that needs to recruit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cannae wait for the debut album in september. b ep/ep c is monstrous beast of a compilation. listen to hi-lo and then try and tell me that this band don't belong on warp. and they're something else live, john stanier pounding away on his tubs of steel with electronic blip blooping and backwards sounds, you can definitely boogie to this. they definitely deserve more credit on here in my opinion.. hope they can develop their sound further for a full length. |
