Cos obviously anyone who wants to *dance* to electronic music is, y'know, stupid or something.

Despite being a twat last night, I are still WARP 4 LIFE, mufferfukkaz.

Todayz 5:

1. Aphex Twin - SAW II
2. Autechre - LP5
3. Prefuse 73 - Vocal Studies
4. Aphex Again - RDJ Ablum
5. 2 Lone Swordsmen - Tiny Reminders

List subject to change during next 10 minutes.

I could've voted for A Word Of Science or Blech, but I picked Stay Down by Two Lone Swordsmen. Where's the love for that record? I love it how it's both trippy and melancholy, like Mouse on Mars on depressants. Though the EP that preceded it (A Bag of Blue Sparks) is maybe even better.

this blech was better than the CD release (although both are great)

Speaking of Blech, who the hell was DJ Mink? I don't think I've ever heard anything by him except "Hey Hey Can You Relate", which is great.

― Tuomas, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Maximo Park are on Warp? Weird.

― chap, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

yes, all the 'Darkstar' samples - made me love that movie (xpost)

― blueski, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

i didnt realize people were hating on frequencies. wow. so LFO jumped the shark before the first album?

i am going with haunted dancehall just because i love the vibe created there

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

looking at the catalogue their post millenial releases are embarrassing for all involved.

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

RONG

― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

btw that is looking not listening. but please tell me why i am wrong.

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

movern callar had an awesome sountrack

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

i am sorry but to me vincent gallo is taints everything he touches

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

chloe sevigny was already dirty, but my point stands

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

At least 2 brilliant Squarepusher albums,Geogaddi, Prefuse's first album, Chris Clarke, 2 Lone Swordsmen, Broadcast, a lot of stuff that I'm fond of but isn't v. crowd-pleasing like Mira Calix and Autechre's recent albums. There's plenty there that's debatable but it's hardly embarrassing.

― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

hardly embrassing to whom? it can be embarrassing to me if i'd like it to be.

i like prefuse and boards of canada fine, sort of bored by broadcast and don't like squarepusher. surely there is no excitement about WARP as an entity. i mean, its not really surpising their recent releases are lackluster. that is the lifecycle of a label. i'm not mad at them.

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

the last 2 lone swordsman kind of sucked too.

― artdamages, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

I think one person was hating on Frequencies? That record is CLASSIC. And Tommy Boy's releasing it and 808 State in the US finally introduced techno to america, otherwise Techno would've forever stayed a strictly british phenomenon.

― dan selzer, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

haunted dancehall for teh win

― stet, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

i voted for campfire headphase ^___^

― am0n, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

haha haunted dancehall v the new battles album FITE!

― CharlieNo4, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

wow warp is actually more boring than i thought

― lex pretend, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

Dry and trainspottery is kinda Warp's schtick now more than ever.

― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 5 May 2007 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

the last 2 lone swordsman kind of sucked too.

new one is dreadful

― braveclub, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

This is hard just because of the number of records, and the differences. To me Warp's history falls into 3 periods:

Bleep and Bass - my choice, Frequencies
Electronic listening period - my choice, Succor by Seefeel
Recent 'eclectic' period - my choice, Work and non Work by Broadcast

Anyway, I went for the Classics comp

― Robin G, Sunday, 6 May 2007 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

Try dancing to THIS you fuckers!

LOL annoying cunty attitude.

-- braveclub, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:02

I love shit that makes you want to dance but leaves you little possibility to. See also Leeds, UK based skronk rockers Bilge Pump.

― Mister Craig, Sunday, 6 May 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

I love shit that makes you want to dance but leaves you little possibility to.

― strgn, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

can't decide between tri repetae and chiastic slide. think i'll go for the latter, cuz no one will vote for it.

warp jumped my personal shark at richard d. james.

― strgn, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

so i've never heard bytes, until now. close up over! wow! lovely

― lfam, Sunday, 6 May 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

i expected sawii to win, but not by such a margin.

― ☪, Monday, 7 May 2007 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

elecktroids deserved at least 1 vote

― resolved, Monday, 7 May 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

A predictable winner then. Glad to see Advance and Frequencies both do well.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

jess, you don't like lp5?

― Turangalila, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 05:49 (nineteen years ago)

i still like lp5!

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 08:28 (nineteen years ago)

a lot

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 08:28 (nineteen years ago)

windowlicker really should have won

― am0n, Friday, 11 May 2007 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

No.

I'm thinking maybe Other People Place should have won for "Let me be me" alone.

― jim, Thursday, 24 May 2007 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

oi! i didn't get a chance to vote in this poll!!!!!! YOU FUCKS!

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:24 (nineteen years ago)

the answer is Autechre - LP5.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:24 (nineteen years ago)

actually, maybe i did vote.

listen, warp records was responsible for the best albums of the 90s end of. end fucking of.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:26 (nineteen years ago)

people who voted for SAW2 and all the early shit are so wrong.

why have warp gone so shit since 2001? battles aside, it's all been bollocks and reissues and shit releases by once-upon-a-time good bands... why did idm die sucha hard death?

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:27 (nineteen years ago)

also - fuck 1 lfo.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:28 (nineteen years ago)

lp5 is amazing yall. amazing. still is, always was.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:29 (nineteen years ago)

plus, gantz graf - i dug out the video again and it's actually fairly palatable.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:29 (nineteen years ago)

campfire headphase BOLLOCKS!

also why no more love for the haunted dancehall? pure mashup area stonehead tunes! we love, love.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:31 (nineteen years ago)

drunkjen btw.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:31 (nineteen years ago)

i mean, there's nothing wrong with saw2 and the early shit, but there's so much better out there.

essentials:

boards - music has the right
autechre - lp5
aphex twin - come to daddy ep
plaid - restproof clockwork
sabres - haunted dancehall
two lone swordsmen - tiny reminders

i think those are the very best.

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:34 (nineteen years ago)

nigh!

― the next grozart, Friday, 25 May 2007 03:39 (nineteen years ago)

also - fuck 1 lfo.

― mh, Friday, 25 May 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)
