WARP RECORDS

At what point did the label start blowing?

My best guess is when they signed Vincent Gallo.

They are kinda crap now.

rob died

Aphex left

They said Analord was "quite good"

lol

But seriously Yellow House by Grizzly Bear is like one of my fav albums evar.

i'm verily enjoying "tea leaf dancers" from the new flying lotus ep

when they signed maximo park they stopped being a little-known niche label and became just another bog-standard indie label.

what's a bog?

A stagnat water-mass in the country.

im not being sarcastic.

Also UK slang for toilet

Also slang for putty used to "bog up" rust holes in a car

they used to be bleeding-edge now they're merely legendary

Only merely legendary? goddamn. But seriously, since the label started signing indie bands they kinda lost alot of my respect. I guess I'll just have to stick with Planet Mu and Rephlex for my braindancing

maybe the warp 4 could start releasing on these minorer labels to save them

i don't know the logistics though i don't guess minors could afford to distribute to satisfy that kind of demand

anyone know how Warp is doing financially in this Maximo-Park-and-chums era? Maybe they see the current direction as a well-deserved commercial blooming after a good decade or so of releasing critically successful albums to a relatively small audience.

WARP compilation soon! ;-)

We All R Professionel ;-D

but seriously...
