couple comments on the squarepusher stuff...i love that
untitled single released a while ago. It kicks soo much
arse.

in terms of warp...i think the website would be cool again
if they had the message boards back up

i think, the new design is cool..but the music should play
no matter where u goto in the site...

There will never be another afx, squarepusher, boc , etc.
when u think about it they all have their unique style...and
that can only be duplicated. I'm just happy these guys are
still releasing music. granted i don't like all the artists
on warp, but the ones i listen to never disappoint me.

I think hardcore fans bitch too much. I totally feel in
love when drukqs came out, but naturally there were a large
# of dicks that dismissed it quickly. Just be happy we got
any new afx :-P

I forgot to mention M3rck, which IMO has been the most
consistant in releasing good cd's.

warp is still dominant in the sense it owns much of the
artists I follow:afx,ae,squarepusher....if afx+squarepusher
leave warp it's a big loss for warp.expecially because
someone like lfo+NOW etc seems disappeared...
confield is great
druqks is great
geogaddi is great
tiny reminder is great....
but rephlex is at the top of my list for now

Oi bitch hog, first off thanks for your diplomatic take on
what I said. But you're full of BULL!
I never said EVERYONE hates Go Plastic. I said almost
everyone. That was the vibe I was getting off this and the
joyrex MB in the last year.
Also, the post was trying to show that the latest releases
from the really great Warp artists had overall been a bit
underwhelming.
I also stated that I only knew one person who is a TLS
fanatic and he doesn't like the new album, I NEVER said that
everybody hates Tiny Reminders.
If you can't understand my posts then don't reply to them.

Btw, I'm not an American and don't have American relatives.
Your senses are fucked!

sometimes IDM is like music from the eighties.. flashy and
all but in the end just crap... like autechre

and i think go plastic is an example of this. you people get
amazed by all the stuff SP makes on that record to make it
sound cool.. but in the end (it doesn't even matteeeeer
haha) it makes it sound like crap

I think that's wrong, its the complexity of the music that
makes it so listenable and beautiful. I reckon a lot of
rephlex's stuff sounds like cheesy 80's music and don't know
why everyone raves about ALL their releases being so good

i see the point about recent albums being weak: []pushers
new album is weak - even the first track had a better
version on the single! drukgs is good but how often do you
listen to it? bogdan is good but not exciting. boc is
awesome though! plaids new ep is great. but i try not to be
blinkered by warps history - there are other great labels
out there. city centre offices , morr and planet-u just 3
off the top of my head

Warp is just another label like Gap. Warp CDs make for
fashionalbe decorations in one's room. End of story.

for some reason ive never really listened to any rephlex
releases and i own nothing from that particular label.
after reading some of the posts, i feel i should give it a
chance. i always had the impression (probably wrong) that
rephlex was a label that was cheap/not serious.

serious = bogdan, global goon, afx, astrobotnia

likely more, i've just not been exposed.
