WARP

DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES LAST NIGHT, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST MIX OF THE YEAR, HAS NOW BECOME THE FIRST MIX OF THIS NEW YEAR- WARP RECORDS/AND THE BOOK WARP, LABELS UNLIMITED BY ROB YOUNG FLICKING THROUGH THE BOOK ON WARP RECORDS RECENTLY I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND JUST HOW MUCH FROM THE WARP LABEL  I’D PICKED UP THROUGH THE 90’S- QUITE A FEW TWELVES,  AS WELL AS WELL AS HALF A DOZEN ALBUMS HERE AND THERE TOO. PROBABLY CONSIDERED A DANCE /TECHNO LABEL  (THOUGH OUR SELECTION DOESN’T NECESSARILY REFLECT THAT)  IT FEATURES TRACKS FROM TORTOISE, VINCENT GALLO, ANDY WEATHERALL,  NIGHTMARES ON WAX, AS WELL AS BROADCAST  (THE SUBJECT OF A BRILLIANT MIX BY WIRESHAKER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO).  NOT ONLY DOES IT SHOW THE DEPTH AND VARIETY,  WITHIN THE LABEL BUT ALSO, JUST HOW INTERESTING, AND INFLUENTIAL THEY WERE TOO……..ENJOY,  & A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.   1 BLACK DOG-BOLT 5/END OF TIME 2 SWEET EXORCIST-CLONK’S COMING 3 THE SABRES OF PARADISE-ANO ELECTRO (ANDANTE) 4 SQUAREPUSHER-UNTITLED 5 BROADCAST-PHANTOM 6 VINCENT GALLO-I WROTE THIS SONG FOR THE GIRL PARIS HILTON 7 DISJECTA-PIT 8 ANTIPOP-CONSTORTIUM-CONTRAPTION 9 NIGHTMARES ON WAX-DEXTROUS 10 POLYGON WINDOW-UTI-DOT 11 RED SNAPPER-WESLEY DON’T SURF 12 RICHARD H.KIRK-WORLDWAR THREE 13 AUTECHRE-BRONCHUS 2 14 TORTOISE-EDEN 1 15 APHEX TWIN-CURTAINS
