I liked the new Jamie Lidell single, in a "if only it wasn't on Warp" kinda way. Those Warp guys, they ker-azy! BBL, I'm off to watch Skins and text my frenz! |

the first 15 or 20 records were great then they did artificial intelligence but that was kinda at the end of a lot of its artists shelf life; luckily aphex was one exception that made people stick with the label although almost everything else from then wasnt very good. they signed squarepusher - amazing. these 2 acts propped up the reputation, there's a spattering of other project of course, mark pritchard etc but analyze the discography and you'll see that even tho their intentions were good, they misled a lot of people and that misled the culture. respect is due tho, but they should hold their hands up or make ammends or just retire rather than wear out the legacy of the 2 founding Rob's. |

Yep. Even the most derivitive indie/pop will sell a hell of a lot more than most experimental electronic music. From a business perspective, Warp is doing the right thing I suppose. If you want an example of labels that stuck to it's gun and suffered as a result, just look at SKAM, Merck (even though they were always pretty shit, I respect their efforts), etc... the market for IDM is practically zero now. Warp is a much, much larger label and employs a lot of staff. It is a case of move on, or die, even if it is a step backwards from our viewpoint. The market has changed drastically too. We can argue about the effects of piracy on sales forever and a day, but theres no denying that for artists on indie labels now, they probably won't make a living on music sales alone. Even labels themselves struggle. This is tough enough for the indie market, but for electronic music, unless you're someone like Tiesto, then it is going to be hard. Warp has an incredible legacy, but the reason they've survived all these years is because they have been smart from a business sense. The point of any business is to expand and make more profit with every year in operation and this is the only way Warp can do it now. Besides, it's not like they've totally neglected the electronic scene. The big acts (Squarepusher, BOC, Autechre, Plaid etc) all still release music on there and they stiill release gems like the Harmonic 313 from time to time. If you don't like their music, just move on. They certainly have. |

I kinda like that song. But yeah, they should have stuck to IDM and gone bankrupt five years ago. |

I'm still waiting for Warp to do a massive IDM marathon... I'm sure a lot of this is funding. Don't get me wrong, I like most of it (!!! and Maximo Park are great... dunno what this new band are playing at though) but I'd still like Warp to still be Warp... This band are from the States... not Sheffield. |

"If you don't like their music, just move on. They certainly have." Exactly, I can't stand people whining about how something has gone shit because it hasn't developed in the exact way they hoped it would. I commend the boys and girls at the label for being able to see what was going to be able to keep them afloat and have the balls to go in a new direction. I personally don't like this track at all but it's not the changes at Warp we should be lamenting, its the inability of todays electronic music to capture the hearts and minds of even a small proportion of the populace. |

the IDM dream is gone. everyone go home! PS Fat Hermione, I still would. |

well we still have planet mu to thank for absolutely nothing. Its sad but i think a leftfield movie with a great soundtrack mixing decent popular artists and IDM artists together would draww in more interest. Andrei 3000 wants to work with Jenkinson. why not have RHCP or 311 do a track with the Flashbulb or The Tuss vs. Madonna Timbaland Justin Timberlake and 7 other dudes... Prince mixed by Plaid. |

If warp stays consistent with IDM releases people would be "that label releases all the same kind of stuff" If warp goes in a new direction then people are like "why have they changed" I would like it if warp signed Justice. Its the only electronic act I have heard doing anything interesting in the last few years. |
