well i still listen to older stuff, after drukqs and confield i paid just a little attention to warp records releases but after the big disappointment with plaid's greedy baby and boards of canadas new stuff i stopped paying attention to this label's releases. how about you? |

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, MAYBE ONE. |

I still listen to Boards of Canada, but other than that everything there now is total shit. |
||||||||
|

your thread title indicates everyone stopped listening to warp. whether its true or not, i think its pretty stupid. what else do you assume we do exactly like you ? |
||||||||
|
|

|

ooh shit!!! |
||||||||
|

I'm still paying attention because I enjoyed Ultravisitor, Draft 7.30, Untilted, Hello Everything, Body Riddle, Spokes... |

my mistake i chose this title, i wanted to get responses from ppl who stopped listening or paying attention to warp records stuff. those who still enjoy warp records recent releases can either ignore this thread or tell the others why warp records recent stuff is still enjoyable. for myself, i only check every now and then if there is new autechre release at warp records. since plaid's greedy baby and boards of canada's recent works i felt warp records output turned from excellent and new to replacable tunes with no freshness or leading character as glory years ago. |

i think people forgot that its the label that got the whole electronic world spinning around. im not a angry warp fanboi.i just dont get how latest releases can turn someone away from a whole label and its history. |

i really love their masterpiece releases a lot, but since say 2001 or 2002 for me there are just 4-5 records which are really great, that's just one record a year. in their better years you could expect 2-3 great LPs a year, on their best years you could buy any new release of them without listening to the LP before and you knew it was special. crap: plaid releases turned to crap boards of canada's latest output is crap prefuse 73 last two lps sucks gone: aphex twin left the building come oooooon: maximo park !!! solid: jackson and his computer band jimmy edgar awesome: squarepusher autechre I dont know if i am the only one who feels so, anyway. |

not since last prefuse, outside of samples. |

youre probably majority. i hold a lot of respect to warp myself, and to be honest, i tend to listen to music closely and cannot really say their last releases are tottally shite.theyre not splendid, like the ones before, but hey, no ones king all their life. what i mean is, its still enjoyable. with all musical variety, honestly i think its not warp that became shitty. i think the others finally started to be damn better than warp. thus, its not shitty, as in whole label. its just others are more enjoyable. my opinin on music changed a lot since artificial intelligence va's anyway... its kind of bold discussion anyway. ive had one about IDM and this name being considered stupid. its all a matter of opinion anyway... |
||||||||

theres always been a few shitty artists on warp, and theres always been completely amazing ones. no need to worry. |

The latest BoC are alright, I like it. Squarepusher is still going awesome so I guess I should mention him too now. |

i havent really payed much attention to new warp material in the last three years or so, save for the new boc which was okay and !!!'s latest which is extremely enjoyable. |
||||||||
|
|

Its true that the musical direction has shifted (for the worse) in the past few years, but I still look forward to releases by Squarepusher and AE. I really didn't enjoy the last BOC releases at all, so they have fallen from grace for me. Aphex generally just releases on Rephlex now. Theres the odd surprise single/ep/album on warp every year which is really good though. This year, it'll be the Harmonic 313 EP. |

me neither |

I rarely pay any attention to Warp these days. Really like "Mirrored" though; Battles are excellents. |

i still love warp records, but for what they have done to electronic music and their role they played in the 90ties not for their recent releases. earlier you could clearly say without looking on the cover that this is a warp release, today their sounds are um... replacable. you might be right that their sound has been studied and copied from other artists on other labels and thanks/owing to laptops and music composing software there is finally a overdose of idm music available (look at netlabels especially, either dub techno or idm is the style of choice of every second netlabel) |

warp's essential era was up until WAP 19, that's when they stopped pioneering - when Rob Gordon (THE man behind that sound) parted company they picked up a few good artists, most essentially Aphex Twin & Squarepusher, who singlehandedly kept the label cool. Autechre were lucky with their timing and cashed in on that, there were just a handful of other peaches like Drexciya and Harmonic 33 but most of the rest will fade into insignificance as the years go on. BoC did an AE, really nothing special, not 'bad' but... I hope they pull themselves back from the slide, but without Rob M. (RIP) with Steve, the future seems to be very David Bowie. Rock music, well guitars, is what the kids want now because it's all they are offered in the mainstream. I just hope the guitars go more classical spanish or more heavy death rather than Led Zep Beatles revamps. Sorry for any offence, i only like music by cute girls with picture covers now anyway so don't listen to me. |

what's more, it seems they'll fill up bleep with almost anything, which ain't good for the electronic scene would be good if it had some A&R Q.C.? not as good for the bank account tho so where does one look these days? what is there to belong to, other than oneself? it's computers, the internet, western capitalism, religion again, all part of one big problem it's only a problem for humans tho, the animals, plants, rocks, stars, gases don't care |

I stopped listening about 5 years ago. |

right after they reached their peak with first forgemasters 12". |

The direction warp went after Rob Gordon wasn't all bad; the artificial intelligence era is IMO Warps finest moment. |

sure A.I. vol 1 album was wicked, it was a compilation, part of the handful i referred to, but B.Dog B12 Speedy J had more or less peeked by then, Warp picked them up from elsewhere, they didnt nurture them the early impact is what kept them in high esteem in lesser years, took most people a while to realise. those early chart successes kept them in the media which is what sells records which is what supports a scene (in those days) and that was a long time ago eh |
||||||||

i like squarepusher & autechre (recent warp stuff), i think its great they're not signing third rate autechre & co but i still dont get it on their indie shits, they're tons of indie band i like but the recent warp ones sounds tasteless. i dont understand why they didnt sign arpanet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The decision to release Bytes, Electro Soma, Incunabula etc, nurtured or not was a good one. The electronic music scene is so fucked now though they have to go for the artists that keep the bank happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...but if i ever considered stopping - that would be after warp released Beans |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i really blame warp for is : not re-releasing deleted gems like elektroids or that drexciya ep ; selling them as badly encoded mp3s on bleep is ridiculous. but i thank them for that UPTOWN remix, i play it all the time. |
||||||||
|
|

I haven't really listened to much electronic music at all in the last two or three years for some reason. Warp's downward spiral is something I hear a lot about, but I dunno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...when they started that sub label (was it lexx records or something?), warp films, and started signing non electronic acts & artists who make music that doesn't interest me much. planet-mu, rephlex, sublight (RIP)...are usually the labels i'd turn to for the good stuff. But we'll see what the future brings. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...i should say that i liked the last few squarepusher and BOC releases, but i hardly visit their site anymore. seems like they're trying to push all of the artists i don't care for more than their established line up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where and how would you 'push' an AE release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like warp, they still be good. when i dont care for the music, it is on me, not on the label, why would a label know exactly what i will listen to and buy? unless its a major label, they tend to know what the majority of people will like and but and are good and selling it - warp is great, they just release whatever the fuck they feel like it. its on me whether i buy it or not. |

looking forward to any squarepusher though, will check plaid maybe (haven't checked greedy baby), and lfo when there is one. i think that's it. i don't bother giving their new signings a listen. you can't be young forever. |

Using it in a Natwest ad? |

Was there a conflict between AFX and Warp just around Drukqs? |
||||||||
|
|

i think the new Clark album is good i'll fight anyone one of you about it too |

stop? fuck off |

Okay, let's then go back in time and grade Warp's finest moments. Which are your top Warp releases? I couldn't start. |

|
|
i'm still enjoying lots of the warp stuff dag nabit old thread |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't stopped listening to WARP records... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only listen to Squarepusher and BOC and The Aphex Twins. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hard Normal Daddy is one of my fave albums ever. My fave warp era is the mid/late nineties, esp for AFX/Square/Ae. |
