Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
WAP 082CD
Forty-three minute EP that compiles 7 of the 8 tracks on WAP 81 & 82 12" EPs. It's a somewhat obscured fact by now, but Germany's Mike Ink was briefly aligned with Warp in 1996, releasing these two classic EPs. "Paroles" is a heavy, near-ravey acid anthem from Mike, and get's remix treatment from Autechre, T-Power and Ink himself (in his more typical minimal style -- as refined over numerous released on Profan, Studio One, etc.).

WAP 097CD
Lush IDM genius from the illustrious DJ Chantal, produced in collaboration with Disjecta. Totally dream-infested Warp-generation electronic tracks, distantly submerged vocal distortions and perfectly oblique atmospherics. The next superstar emission from the Warp stable. "Mira Calix follows up her cult classic 'Ilanga' with
Pin Skeeling
, a four track piece of singy songy techno guitar beat weirdness that defies gravity. The release includes a remix by new label mates Boards of Canada. Some information: Mira Calix is a cool name. 'Pin Skeeling' is what happens when you're up late with friends and you get your words mixed up. Mira Calix is Chantal Passamonte, a South African Deejette who speaks Italian and collects shiny things and rare trainers. Mira Calix is currently making music for her special friends in her very cold bedroom, she misses the sunshine. The music will be put on long playing record sometime in the future."

Catalog #:
WAP 098CD
Debut 30 minute EP release by this US duo. "'Somory' opens the EP in fine style. Like Autechre meets Miami Bass, with layers of clanking electronica slowly building into a shuffling, twisted groove. 'Y-Intercpnkt' takes warped hip hop beats and pushes them through a seamless furrow towards a stomping, deformed finale. 'Thong' sees the frequency oscillators set to low; a myriad of analog squelches interlocking with interplanetary rhythms. Final track 'Can' sees the boys back in Autechre territory, all bleeps, blaps and bloots and steam engine drum patterns. Phoenicia are Josh Kay and Romulo Del Castillo. They hail from Miami and normally record on the Schematic label with fellow artists Takeshi and Push Button Objects."

"The first single to be lifted from their excellent
Making Bones
album. A proper call to arms. Aimed straight at your jugular, Red Snapper are back and it feels good. 'Bogeyman' is a slice of rolling, brassy, funk with that real Snapper twist. Joining the hardcore trio of Richard Thair (drums), David Ayers (guitar) and Ali Friend (double bass), trumpet intelligence is supplied by the legend Byron Wallen. The result is distinctive and utterly infectious." Includes remixes by David Holmes and Two Lone Swordsman.

"The second single to be taken from the forthcoming

long player. 'The Sleepless' introduces the lyrical might of MC Det. You may remember Det from his days as an integral part of the S.O.U.R. roster, or on the seminal East London pirate Kool FM with DJ Brockie, or more recently on occasion on Radio 1's 'One In The Jungle'. Here he showcases his amazing vocal dexterity, forging an incredible partnership with the Snappers. Continuing to work with the finest and most innovative remixers around, the single has also been given the remix treatment by the notorious Shut Up & Dance duo. The results are fantastic."

The Body Riddle
reinterpretations offer some pretty psychedelic parallels and the new tracks meld together to complete this richly textured EP. Alongside the release is a sinisterly engrossing video, akin to watching David Attenborough on hallucinogenics!

"'Trust' explores what might happen if you met your ex-lover's ex-lover -- probably not a good idea but the result is a beautiful, melancholic, pop ballad reminiscent of a folk tinged Belle & Sebastian or Red House Painters. It's perfect taster for the quiet-loud-quiet album due out this autumn -- a triumphant blend of space rock & lo-fi pop and easily Gravenhurst's most accomplished work to date!"

Catalog #:
WARP 150CD
UK-only Warp release from 2006, not issued in the U.S. "Mira Calix, former record shop manager, DJ & boundary blurring songwriter presents her third album. It's beautiful & delicate, hypnotic & uplifting. It's out-there. But it's in-here too! It features a melee of sound including strings, piano, a glockenspiel, buzzing beats, ghostly voices and a children's choir multilayered with field recordings of birds, leaves, water and snow melting. There's even the sound of an old bamboo xylophone slowly crumbling apart. Such aural enjoyment invites the listener to conjure up personal visions of the landscapes and color that inspired this magical album. Just as the pauses between & during the songs are elegantly arranged, like oxygen allowing the music to breath and come alive, so too are the three spaces, like three silent beats, used in the title of the record, 'Eyes Set Against The Sun' Chantal Passamonte aka Mira Calix is adored by the media due to her all-encompassing involvement with the arts. From gigs in planetariums to commissions and collaborations, she composes for installations, plays, dances, circuses, operas and festivals. She's quite a girl!"

Push Door to Exit
is their debut release. Having met whilst on tour with the London Sinfonietta, Alexander's Annexe began working on a composition commissioned by Italy's Ravello Festival that fused instruments with electronics.
Push Door To Exit
is a beautiful yet mysterious piece of music composed entirely on the piano. It overturns all preconceptions you may have about the grandest instrument in the classical lexicon! Composed, unconventionally, with Sarah Nicolls playing the piano, Mira Calix creating recordings from inside the piano & manipulating sounds with a microphone and David feeding the piano and overall mix into his computer & developing the results. At just under 30 minutes in length, this specially-priced limited edition is an essential composition for avant garde/classical music fans." Limited Warp UK-only release.

"Like Chantal Passamonte (aka Mira Calix)'s
Peel Session
, this material was recorded after her exodus from Sheffield to more pastoral digs in the English countryside. Perhaps, that's what makes her music so beguiling, that sort of every-person quality that holds a little something for everyone. Maybe, it's the spectral forces that pull her work to and from between airy expanses to percussive claustrophobia. Regardless, it can leave the listener vacillating between feelings of meditative solitude and edgy loneliness, something to which anyone can relate."

"There's something quite exciting about witnessing inspired innovation and that's what makes Anti-Pop Consortium so damn interesting to follow.

"Scott Herren's marriage of electronic glitch and hip hop rhythms combined into a seductive sound that caught the ears and imagination of both camps, making
Vocal Studies & Uprock Narratives
one of Warp's most critically lauded and most consistent sellers throughout the year. MCs, divas and even telephone messages were julienned into staccato bursts and served over a serving of downtempo instrumental tracks that were at times, heavy in mood or joyously playful. Since then, Scotty's been hard at work producing tracks for a number of MCs, remixes and simultaneously cranking out a new Prefuse album and one for his alter ego, Savath and Savalas (out on Hefty later this year). But, this is no odds 'n' ends catalog filler.
The 92 VS 02 Collection
shows a more self-assured creator expanding his palette and honing his craft. Tracks like 'Desks Pencils Bottles' show that inspiration can come from anywhere, you've just got to know where to look."

It's true, listening to his tales of missed sexual opportunity and inability to achieve even basic aims ('Apply Some Pressure'), you recognize the kinds of small situations and scenarios to which we can all relate."

"Collaborations are a dime-a-dozen in hip-hop these days so when one comes along that makes the heads perk up their ears, it's no small event. When one of those involves Ghostface (aka Tony Starks aka Pretty Toney) it turns into an international hip-hop riot. On the flipside, whenever hardcore fans of funky leftfield electronic music hear the name Prefuse 73 (aka Scott Herren aka Savath & Savalas), they seem to break into a collective headspin. So let's see what happens when you combine the Wu-Tang's Ironman with Warp's boom-bap wizard and throw in Def Jux mastermind El-P as a key player. We're thinking it might just be the most tweaked and freaked gangsta party you've ever heard."

The Lemon Of Pink
, Massachussetts' The Books have managed to infuse their avant-folk with skewed electronic beats and devilishly tweaked samples. This, of course, puts them in a perfect place to go up against the master of tweaking and freaky beat making. Fresh off collaborations with Ghostface, Aesop Rock and Blonde Redhead on his latest album
Surrounded By Silence
, Prefuse 73 brings his patented trunk rattling digi-crunk to the table. Prefuse 73

continues the evolution of Scott Herren's Prefuse alias into the most versatile and visionary post-hip-hop producers in the world."

WARP 004CD
Domestic issue of their debut album, from 1991. "Nightmares on Wax's
A Word of Science
was recorded at the height of happy hardcore fever that gripped the UK in the early 1990s. Alongside groups such as the Prodigy, LFO and Unique 3, Nightmares on Wax introduced a hard electronic sound that tore up house music and overthrew acid. 'A Case of Funk' has that typically hysteric, operatic sound that made early-1990s Brit electronic music the rush that it was; the same goes for the squidgy synths and tribal beats of 'Coming Down'. Both tunes reflect the increasing influence of Ecstasy on the rave scene as mellow euphoria was replaced by a sharper, teeth-grinding groove. However, 'MegaDonutz' starts as typical hardcore but warps into a 45 King style hip-hop production while 'Back In Time' is down-tempo and uses an old Bizmarkie sample -- even with the rave scene around them, NOW went back to their original hip-hop roots. A vivid snapshot of British dance music at the turn of the 1990s."

The entire procession is driven by pulsating rhythms that vacillate between delicate blips to blistering workouts... a timeless classic. This midline re-issue is the first of what will be many North American re-issues from the Warp canon. As an added attraction, two previously unreleased tracks make their debut on the 2001 edition, 'Portreath Harbour' and 'Redruth School.'" "If the first
Artificial Intelligence
comp on Warp is the bible for the IDM generation, this record is surely the King James (NPI) version, responsible or a mass upheaval of 'guitar-rock-angst' in favor of general togetherness (and pseudo scientific track-monikerism). Mr Richard James (Aphex Twin/AFX/etc...), directly after inventing the Warp sound, furthers it on this, his first full-length album, by shunning the four-on-the-floor amalgam of past summer-of-love successes/excesses and exploring advanced (at least for '92) sonics and textures. An out and out classic, which if you haven't heard yet might give you some insight to recent head-scratcher trends in 'lectronica." --Hrvatski

floats their '90s update of electro's cut-and-paste rhythms into the realm of the odd. It sounds like some kind of alien jazz record, and tracks like 'Foil' make even Aphex or µ-ziq's abstract tones seem almost conventional. That's not to say
Amber
is goal-less experimentation. There's plenty of melody on board, it's just that it creeps up on you from behind, as on 'Montreal.' The boys know how to give you a good fright too.

From the start it was clear that this was a new take on electronic music, one that reflecting her love of strung out, avant garde guitar blazers like Spaceman 3 and My Bloody Valentine as much as any techno influence. Richly steeped in her own, digitally tampered-with vocals, it followed no particular rulebook but was happy to rip out pages from all of them.
One On One
is a 16 track introduction that reveals for the first time the true breadth and variety of Chantal's vision, from the elongated, sunkissed chords of its opening to the pummeling beat crunches of 'Skin With Me' and 'Isabella'. Using a mass of sometimes contradictory elements, of savage beauty and rough grittiness, sadness and euphoria, fragrant melody and rhythmic sweat, Chantal, or maybe even the little part of her that is Mira Calix, is redefining electronic music for a new generation."

Liddell's been very busy over the last few years, recording for Mosquito, Trash, Mille Plateaux, Loaded, etc... This record features his more experimental minded effort (close to the Trash stuff). Pretty insane all over, the sort of rampant electronic underworld action that eases no spirit, instead, full of rage, squirms through the vertebrae infecting the spine with little voltage ticks and oxygen bubbles, causing pre-death rigor mortis symptoms. Quite lovely in parts (esp. the Miles 69-73 emulative pieces), dastardly in others (much noise & grit).

Tracks like 'Brootle' and 'Neuflex' are pure dancefloor damage, whereas the twisted whistles of 'Rotting Hill Carnival' and kinky funk of 'Very Futuristic' are symptomatic of the afore-mentioned playfulness that mark this album out as the best thing the Lord of Darkness has presided over for some time.

Scary yet beautiful nonetheless. These seven new snapshots come in the form of a fierce squall. Some may be already familiar with this album's opener: 'Do You Know Squarepusher,' a recent live favorite that leaked out in slightly different form on a one-sided 12" early this year. For those that have heard it, it has left an indelible mark: every bit as catchy as last year's breakout single 'My Red Hot Car' but, even more foreboding and challenging. From there the album moves from schizoid MCs riding a groove with square wheels and atmospheric digitized darkness to manic []pusher-patented drum 'n' bass strafing fire and (perhaps the greatest surprise) a spooky restrained cover of Joy Division's classic 'Love Will Tear Us Apart.'

Morvern Catlar
Is the latest film from Lynne Ramsay, one of the industry's strongest new voices of the past five years. The director of the shorts
Small Deaths
and
Gasman
, (both of which won the Cannes Prix du Jury) and
Ratcatcher
which on release was universally lauded as a highly accomplished debut film, she has defined herself as a idiosyncratic talent and drawn comparisons with luminaries such as Klesiowskl and Tarkovaky for her intuitive direction and singular unpretentious style. An adaptation of Alan Warner's novel of the same name,
Morvern Callar
is a story of a woman's personal journey from a prosaic life on the remote Scotish coast, to self-abandonment on the costa del Clubland, and re-invention in the empty Spanish sierras. The rich and intriguing story, focused through the lead actress Samantha Morton's absorbing portrait of the eponymous heroine, Lynne's oblique perspective on the everyday and Warp's complimentary soundtrack, becomes an intense sensory experience. More than a soundtrack, this selection is integral to the film, actually playing a part in the story; the tape her boyfriend left her before committing suicide. And a very particular score is needed for an introspective film such as this, requiring an acute choice of tracks to map the emotionally driven plot and expose the interior tangle that guides Morvern through her odyssey."

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wonderful world of Beans, aka Mr. Ballbeam. Hip-hop rebel. Wordsmith extraordinaire. Sonic architect. Fashion renegade. Published poet. Culture star. With lyrical virtuosity, vanguard production that straight bangs, and one of the most unique and remarkable live performances around, Beans harkens back to the glory days when all it seemed to take was real talent, real passion and the desire to actually be real and simply shine. Raised in White Plains, NY and first picked up on in the mid-90s as part of the mythic Brooklyn Boon, Poetic collective and the word began to spread. Having achieved his widest acclaim as one-third of the legendary NYC progressive rap crew, Anti Pop Consortium, Beans continues his grand experiments in music and life with the release of his debut solo album,

"A soul record. By a singer-songwriter. On Warp. Electronic music, but not as we know it. Its predecessor,
OneOnOne
, was red, but this is white. Beautiful, evocative, romantic, a 61-minute piece, or movement, with no spaces, no gaps, and lots of interesting noises conjured from unusual sources. Mira Calix says that
Skimskitta
, her new album, is all of the above. Controversially, she also considers it a guitar record. Hardly any of the 21 tracks, she says, are without some element of her battered Fender Stratocaster. Not that you can pick out big riffs or anything. Nor, even, could you really say that her time playing with Radiohead has necessarily taught her how to redefine guitar music. You'll also struggle to pick out the vocals. But they're there.
Skimskitta

The importance of the early LFO records that followed cannot be overlooked. These records promoted the Detroit and Chicago sounds to the burgeoning European dance market and directly influenced future Warp greats such as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Autechre. Mixing hard hitting beats, destructive bass with infectious rhythms proved you could chart and still be cool. Gez and Mark decided to go their separate ways. Mark Bell retained the working name LFO and remains signed to Warp Records. After charting on the UK singles chart in 1990, LFO released their debut album,

This is what Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood expect you to think when you play their new album. That's Weatherall singing. And Tenniswood playing guitar and bass, while a number of drummers take their turn on an old kit that was left for safe keeping in the basement studio. For Weatherall there was a dawning sensation that he wanted to break free from sterile, heavily processed, intellectual techno and electronica floating around and make something with more direct communication and soul. And whenever Weatherall starts feeling like's he had enough of techno, he always goes back to his roots in rockabilly, rock 'n' roll and dub. He understands that the visceral energy of any good dance music -- his specialties being electro and techno -- is the same as in a good rockabilly song. The same gut feeling that reacts with your head or feet. It's about making music WITH machines, not by machines."

Although presented as a sound library collection,
Music For TV/Film And Radio Vol.1

Very early in his career he found likeminded people in Tom Middleton and Richard James (Aphex Twin). With Tom he went on to set up the seminal Evolution label (named after the Carl Craig track) dedicated to the pioneering of Techno and Electronica. The label encouraged a very high level of experimentation with its no-compromise stance."

"Just two vinyl-only singles in, and things are pulling very sharply into focus for Maximo Park. A year ago, their inchoate howls of frustration set to big choruses were still largely un-moulded and all but unknown outside (even inside) their native Newcastle. But what a difference a debut makes. Warp saw in Maximo Park and their arresting frontman Paul Smith, something of the promise they had earlier identified in Pulp and Jarvis Cocker just as they were making their transition from bookish miserablism to sharply-honed, hilarious social commentary, set in a pop idiom. Both bands talk easily about the landscape of boring, shitty Britain, speaking with originality, accuracy, resigned wit and more than a little fire in their bellies. Like Cocker, Paul seems often thwarted in his songs, waiting both literally and metaphorically as the 'Position Closed' sign goes up. On stage and in the studio, the band deals in tight songwriting, Smith's tumult of syllables bombarding the listener and reflecting the singer's state of personal confusion over another fine mess he's gotten himself into. Somehow out of this maelstrom Maximo Park reliably manage to conjure a stone cold killer chorus, as in the epically pummelling 'Once A Glimpse,' the deliciously baffling 'The Coast is Always Changing,' or the self explanatory 'Now I'm All Over the Shop.'"

"Grizzly Bear has come a long way in the past 2 years. From its original incarnation as a one man band of acoustic guitar, field tapes and drum machine; to its current state as a full band complete with drums, two guitars, bass, woodwinds, effects pedals, cradled by four part harmonies, Grizzly Bear's music has made the leap from charming lo-fi folk rock to breathtaking, experimental cinematic pop. The talent between the four members of Grizzly Bear is evident from their deft playing, which also makes for a brilliant and engrossing live act. Grizzly Bear are remarkable not just for their attention to detail but for their concern for how a song FEELS: flush with heart and melancholy, their music is seductive and intimate, deep with hazy-eyed choruses, whistles, piano and banjo. They know melody and ambiance are partners
por vida
. Experimental mood music with love for classics and standards, it's the kind of stuff you yearn to crank when you're lying in bed in clean sheets on a Sunday. Their Warp Records debut,
Yellow House
, melds the possibility of the digital age with the classic American songbook. Transportive and beautiful. It will be your soundtrack to late nights, summer afternoons and first kisses."

"Recorded in Berlin, Los Angeles and Paris,
Jim
takes even further what was started with
Multiply
, finding the balance between the spontaneous creativity of his raw ideas and the careful craft and polish of a great record.
Jim
will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dancefloor and take you down in the small hours. It's a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R&B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of 'hillbilly funk.' 'I haven't tried to hide the influences,' says Jamie Lidell. 'This is the music I love.' But listen closely and you can hear Jamie moving in new directions, creating a sound and a style that is entirely his own."

"Produced by Rusty Santos, the New York mixer behind Animal Collective and Panda Bear's albums, this record exemplifies the Ruffians' brand of self-described 'hootin and hollarin.' From start to finish it's a good time, and the band knows it. With songs like the jangly 'Hedonistic Me' and the sugary sweet 'Foxes Mate for Life' to the foot stomping 'Badonkadonkey,' the band constantly pushes the boundaries of musical arrangements. Live, they have the chops of a seasoned performer, but none of the jade, performing each set like it's their last."

"Avant-funk mischief makers Autechre return after a two year silence with their new salvo
Untilted
. A dense, polyrhythmic android dance of a record,
Untilted
is the sound of Autechre searching for the elusive ghosts in their drum machines. Beats rise from the ether only to be confronted by the static residue of otherworldy transmissions and the sounds of synthesizers being broken in a lonely, subterranean studioroom. The decomposed remains of hip-hop serve as the ultimate blueprint, but the corpse has degenerated into an almost unrecognizeable pile of flesh and bones, albeit one with it's heart faintly beating, pulse still strong. Posessed beatboxes lead the charge for an undead army of pop-locking zombies, hungry for flesh and a smooth spot for a wicked headspin. The sounds delight and menace, leaving one unsure whether or not something sinister lurks near, boastful in it's phantasmal b-boy stance."

"For more than a decade, Tyondai Braxton has fine-tuned his unique approach as 'quite literally' a solo artist. Working by himself on stage and in the studio, he employed guitar, voice, looping and delay pedals plus various found objects to create work that simulates the sound of a large ensemble. His live performances are as technically astonishing as they are sonically mesmerizing. However, on his Warp Records debut and second full-length solo album,
Central Market
, Braxton takes a radically different course from the 'orchestrated loops' that had become his trademark: For the first time in his solo career, he's composed for a real orchestra. The result is an exhilarating mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation; surprisingly pastoral moments give way to more clangorous passages that will immediately appeal to fans of avant-rock quartet Battles, of which Braxton is a member. There are plenty of ominous, unsettling sounds, particularly in its later tracks, but the sheer ambition of
Central Market
gives the album an uplifting, almost joyful quality. The spirit of the playing and the inventiveness of the arrangements make the entire experience exciting and fun, a word Braxton often employs when describing the process of bringing

"One of Warp's rising stars, Clark, releases what is undoubtedly his breakthrough album.
Totems Flare
is the Berlin-based, UK native's boldest effort to date, featuring breakneck dance, driving techno and baroque melodics. It's also perhaps his most accessible, as it's the first to feature his own vocals. All of the hyperactive intellect and technically dazzling detail you'd expect from this master electronic producer is here, but there is straightforward musicianship at work that is no longer subtle - Chris uses guitar, drums and piano (albeit unrecognizably processed at times) Following the critical acclaim of Clark's two previous full lengths,
Body Riddle
and
Turning Dragon
, this latest effort shows the steady and clear progression of an artist who has combined his incredible ambition with a natural ability to create soundscapes that are as welcoming as they are hard-hitting. These qualities along with Clark's refusal to partition music by subculture or allegiance, and his natural desire to communicate directly without obscuring the details, pushes Clark past the 'Warp sound' that was his original calling card, into a completely new and uncharted territory."

WARP 189CD
"Blasts of distorted guitar, off-tuned analog keyboards and barreling drums mixed with psychedelic soundscapes and occasional disorientation are hallmarks of the Birmingham, England-based group's sound. As the
New York Times
put it,
'Broadcast's songs are full of creaks, rumbles, saw-toothed distortion and untamed feedback. Each intrusion (is) plotted, and they let the disruption build and sometimes take over a song in a billowing crescendo. Within the tick-tock riffs and pop melodies, the noise seems to break out like steam through volcanic fissures.'
In anticipation of their 2010 full length, this EP is a collaboration between Trish Keenan (vocals), James Cargill (Bass, Keyboards, Atmospherics and Production) and long time friend of the band - Julian House, co-founder of the enigmatic UK indie label Ghost Box Music. House, a visual artist as well as musician and producer created Ghost Box Music and his band The Focus Group in order to release the records and create album art he and his friends love - and as he says,
'the purpose of (Ghost Box Music and The Focus Group) was to create not just a record label, but an imaginary world.'

Russell Haswell is a renowned artist in both London and New York; he has toured the world with Aphex Twin and supported Autechre on their US and European tours of 2001. His un-compromising sets laden with sex and aggression lost him many fans, but the ones he won will be faithful forever.
