Is it just me or is their a lot of overrated pish on Warp? You have the excellent shit like Ae Aphex Squarepusher Plaid Boc, but then you have new age gumph like Plone (pingu theme music) Mira Calix (Gucci girl records bananas growing bollox) and Broadcast (half-arsed jazz Michael Caine 60s wank). Just my opinion heh heh |

Plone: I downloaded something by them from emusic, thought it was awful so can agree there. Mira Calix: I try so hard to like her stuff, hell, I own all her stuff, but in truth I find it second rate. I can forgive her though cos she's beautiful ;) Broadcast: never heard anything by them. There is overrated stuff on Warp, but then again there's overrated stuff on any label. |

i don't think any artists on warp are overrated, some are just underpromoted. are you one of those people who thinks only the most popular artists in a genre are really good? some of my favorite warp releases in the last couple years have been by underdogs. prefuse 73's last album, APC's last album, req's last album, boom bip's last album. plaid's "double figure" was brilliant but most people would rather talk about the fairly formulaic and predictable "geogaddi" (which i also love, don't get me wrong). shall i go on or do you get the point? |

Dude have you checked out Ahmed Abdul-Malik? He has two albums on EMusic that fuse Jazz and African music rather successfully. Jazz Sahara is more middle eastern sounding, and Jazz Sounds of Africa is more "african" (tribal?) sounding. |

I haven't, but I may download one of them overnight on your recommendation. |

Hmmmm... on second thoughts the Jazz Sahara is almost too middle eastern and not jazzy enough... the Jazz Sounds of Africa is more varied. |

hold up a moment here. not sure if you actually are talking about a perfect circle by "apc," but i assume so. anyhow....they are soooo not the underdog in the least!! maybe if they didn't have the singer of tool fronting the band they could be considered so! everyone wants to listen to your record when you have who is probably the best vocalist (and quite an ESTABLISHED one at that) in general rock music in your band. |

APC = Anti Pop Consortium... a perfect circle aren't on warp records. |
