I got the Lektrogirl-album on WarpMart. And I think it
sucked. And "music is rotted..." by Sqp also got me in a bad
mood. What about you guys?

I bought Our Aim is to Satisfy Red Snapper and am still not
able to listen to it all the way though. It's so fucking
boring. Waste of £6.99

I like red snapper a lot...but i prefer making bones
music is rotted one note will grow on you is an excellent
masterpiece...give it several listenings

Nightmares On Wax. Les Nuits is brilliant but the album goes
downhill from there. Then keeps going.

K hand - Global Warning (old but rubbish)
Modus Vivendi - only track they did, not suprised.
I always found AI2 a bit dull as well - no where near the
first AI.

I love albums that grow on you. It's cool when you learn to
love something over time.

Has anyone read the interview with RDJ where he says him and
Squarepusher hate the artists on the Warp roster?

Yeah, he's said that a few times recently....can't say I
disagree with him as they have def gone a little downhill
and maybe a little bit too slick & businessy....

but Warp still have some great artists - AE, LFO etc...and
those BoredOfCanada fellows seem to be doing ok...

So I don't think things are over for Waro but it's
definately the start of new period for them...especially now
that one of the founding fathers has sadly passed away...

I think this years gonna be a vintage year for REPHLEX...MEN
is a rephlex sub-label so, fingers crossed, we'll soon hear
some more of R+T...

mostly best to stick with the old as these 'newbie' artist
are definately a bit touch and go at the moment. makes you
think hard before spending £14 on a random album, other
places like rough trade have a bigger selection of other
experimental labels and makes them a better place to go for
that random purchase...

Who should be avoided? Are Plone any good?

I didn't like the Broadcast album at all.

yeah, I hated broadcast and plone. And couldn't get a clue
on Jimi Tenor either. He got kicked from WARP and gotten
into financial troubles because of this, so he packed his
gear and came to my town a couple of weeks ago, playing
literally on his own to a packed hall. Uh, I'm straying from
the topic, sorry.

I've not heard much of his stuff on cd but I saw him
recently and thought he was really good. Why did Warp get
rid of him?

Points: 6617 Status: Addict



dunno, I heard this from a friend who talked to Jimi after
this gig. I never really cared for Jimi so never put in any
research... Check out Prefuse 73 if you hadn't already.

Points: 6650 Status: Lurker



Yeah I've seen it about. What kind of stuff is it? I know it
sounds dumb but from the cover it looked like more organic
than electronic.

Points: 6617 Status: Addict



Prefuse 73 is the one who everyone claims started this
glitch-hop subgenre. He's juggling with hip-hop beats and
fucked up edits and digital scratching, but still adding a
touch of WARP-style warmth and colour. The rappers are also
being treated beyond legibility. Actually I prefer Machine
Drum who has the same set of groundrules but somehow sounds
more hardcore to me (but it's not on warp). I imagine
there's already a thread or two on Prefuse on this MB.

I keep hearing this glitch word. Does it describe the
noises? Is Pole glitch? Or Plastikman?

Please excuse my ignorance.

Pole is typical glitch artist. There was a great article on
Glitch music in WIRE about 2 and a half years ago, I wish
they have put it online, but they haven't... Anyway it
basicly breaks down to artists who get their sounds (or
compositions) from malfunctioning software/ hardware, using
(to quote Kid 606) "what you see as a mistake (...) as new
language". This has great social/ political theoretical
potential (for people to wank about) but has also led to
some fine music. The originators can never be really
identified (i mean scratching is also a glitch, and using
detuned instruments, too i guess) but Oval's using of
damaged/ skipping CD's in early '90s is usually considered
to have started it. Kid 606 has jammed screwdriver into his
computer CD drive while sampling to get new sounds. ETC.
But as Kid has put it: "now it's just a set of sounds on the
net for people to download."

Surely this began with John Cage fucking with pianos?

So its the method and not the sounds made?

music is rotted one note is not Toms best album imo. I love
"Glitch hop" (what a corny name that is) Arovane, Bola,
PRoem, Funkstorung, PRefuse etc etc

Have you got Tides? Is it good?

I've asked this a million times already but has anyone got
anything on City Centre Offices?

Sqaurepusher fucked up with MIROS. It's all too jazzy. My
favourite is, and will always be Feed Me Weird Things.

Eh, John cage, yes, but I guess there's been some other
examples outside high art music before...

See you later

Music is rott... is one of my favourite squarepusher albums.
It took a while to grow on me though. When I bought it I
was expecting something more experimental electronic, I
think.

Arovane - tides is an amazing album

I will get it. I've heard one track and it was class. It was
nice and melodic

phresch - with you 100% there feed me is his best closely
followed by hard normal daddy.

warp do have good artists but the anthologies they released
were shit. although sqyarepusher/afx made up for it on
wap100

I don't think RDJ hates the other Warp artists. He once said
he was sorry for not signing BoC. And I think he likes Ae
too.
