Catalog #: WAP 240EP
"We are 2000% proud of releasing the first French Warp release. Soul wonderboy Jamie Lidell gets the remix treatment from electro man of the moment Mr. Oizo (Ed Banger Records). Sweet Latin with a Balearic touch from Señor Coconut, and the winner of our Jamie Lidell remix contest, NTEΪBINT. This is highly-limited pressing and definitely worth it."

Artist: INK, MIKE
Title: Polka Trax
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
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.).

Artist: PHOENECIA
Title: Randa Roomet
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $9.00
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."


Artist: RED SNAPPER
Title: Bogeyman
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: WAP 104CD
"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.


Artist: RED SNAPPER
Title: The Sleepless
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: WAP 108CD
"The second single to be taken from the forthcoming Making Bones 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."

Artist: GRIZZLY BEAR
Title: Knife
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 7"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 217EP
"'Knife' is taken from the band's acclaimed album, Yellow House released late 2006 which received rave reviews across the board. This stand out track features beautiful layered vocals, echoing guitars and skittering drums all bound by a chorus of woodwind and atmospherics -- and of course its distinctive, fluttering melody... it's just plain dreamy! Achingly hip bands from all over the universe have been doing covers, mash-ups and remixes of this track from The Knife themselves to CSS, Born Ruffians and Girl Talk and teen fave TV series, Skins, used three tracks, including 'Knife,' in a recent episode!"


Artist: CLARK
Title: Ted EP
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: WAP 221CD
UK-only Warp release. "The title track 'Ted' is complimented by an otherworldly remix by lauded producer Bibio whose fans include Boards of Canada, amongst other music cognoscenti. 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! It was produced by the achingly hip 1st Avenue Productions whose past campaigns include MTV, Adidas and various music projects."


Artist: CLARK
Title: Ted EP
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 12"

Artist: GRAVENHURST
Title: Trust
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 7"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 225EP
"'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!"

Battles describe their music as 'somewhere between electronic and rock... we don't have to play garage music the way you might if all the members had only been in garage bands. Battles can do what it wants.' Battles should appeal to fans of Fugazi, Tortoise, Godspeed, Mars Volta, Comets On Fire, Black Mountain, Explosions In The Sky, Lightning Bolt, Mogwai etc."


Artist: MIRA CALIX
Title: Eyes Set Against The Sun
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $23.00
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!"

Artist: ALEXANDER'S ANNEXE
Title: Push Door To Exit
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: WARP 152CD
"Alexander's Annexe is an ensemble comprised of three distinct artists, Mira Calix, David Sheppard & Sarah Nicolls and 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.


Artist: ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM
Title: The Ends Against The Middle
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $8.00
Catalog #: WAP 154CD
"There's something quite exciting about witnessing inspired innovation and that's what makes Anti-Pop Consortium so damn interesting to follow. Beans, Priest and Sayyid take electro and hip hop to places both never dreamt of going and it's definitely catching folks' attention. Call it an EP or a mini-album (but don't call it a single). The Ends Against The Middle is bold step forward and clearly shows that APC know there is more than one way to move a crowd. It will serve as a convenient warm-up for their brand new studio album set to drop in early '02."


Artist: PREFUSE 73
Title: The 92 Vs. 02 Collection
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 156CD
"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."


Artist: SOTE
Title: Electric Deaf
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $5.50
Catalog #: WAP 157CD
"A mysterious new discovery found in the relatively remote wilds of Northern California. Tracks find their way to the London office and voilá: a banging new single of pounding bass and stroboscopic drums that is sure to impress the Warp faithful and heathen alike. Think Autechre meets Venetian Snares over at Squarepusher's for tea at 11:15 in the evening. Guaranteed to wake up the neighbors and keep your rodent population under control."


Artist: PLAID
Title: P-Brane EP
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $7.00
Catalog #: WAP 158CD
"Four brand new tracks and (for CD purchasers) the new animated video for the lead track from Double Figure, 'Eyen.'"


Artist: NIGHTMARES ON WAX
Title: Know My Name
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 159CD
"The proverbial 'leadoff single,' 'Know My Name,' with its sassy soul diva bounce. Various formats will contain remixes from the likes of Paul Nice, Mark Pritchard, and Will I Am."

Title: Know My Name #1
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $6.50

Artist: BROADCAST
Title: Pendulum
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 162CD
"After a 3 year hiatus, Broadcast return with a spellbinding EP, perfectly showcasing their unique blend of power and sophistication. 'Pendulum', the lead and title track from this EP is one of the many highlights from the forthcoming summer album. Understated and powerful at the same time, a result of both Trish Keenan's haunting vocals and the majesty and depth of their production techniques."


Artist: BEANS
Title: Now, Soon, Someday
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: WAP 167EP
9 track 12" version.


Artist: BEANS
Title: Down By Law
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 178EP
"'Down By Law' is a piercing track that's destine to become an indie anthem. Over a rugged beat Beans calls for a little crowd participation of the hand-waving type and declares 'I'm down by law and personify fresh' and few will argue with that."


Artist: MAXIMO PARK
Title: Apply Some Pressure
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 185CD
"Maximo Park seem to come from the strong tradition of British social realism, of the kind embodied in Sixties black and white films by the brooding presence of an Alan Bates or Albert Finney, as their frustrated and, always, Northern characters wrestled with an overpowering sense of misanthropy in a world of scant opportunity and snatched furtive sex. 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."


Artist: MAXIMO PARK
Title: Apply Some Pressure
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 10"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 185EP
Vinyl 10" EP version.


Artist: PREFUSE 73
Title: Hideyface (feat. Ghostface & El-P)
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 186EP
"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."


Artist: CHOK ROCK
Title: Big City Loser
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 188CD
"Big City Loser is the first EP from French phenom and soon-to-be international sensation Chok Rock (aka Gael Baillier). Effortlessly integrating unlikely influences like Shuggie Otis, Timmy Thomas and Johnny 'Guitar' Watson into his hectic electronic jams, Chok Rock is sure to become the next in a long line of breakthrough artists from Warp." Trevor Jackson (Playgroup, Output) on Chok Rock: 'like Akufen meets Parliament!'.


Artist: CHOK ROCK

Vinyl EP version.


Artist: PREFUSE 73
Title: Read the Books E.P.
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: WAP 189CD
"A collaboration made in indie heaven. The wunderkind of subterranean jeep beats, Prefuse 73 meets the electro-acoustic critic's darlings The Books for an MPC-punching, Banjo-destroying, head-nodding psych-hop. After reaching instant-classic status with their second album 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 Reads The Books continues the evolution of Scott Herren's Prefuse alias into the most versatile and visionary post-hip-hop producers in the world."


Artist: AUTECHRE
Title: Gantz Graf
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: WAP 256CD
Three track CD version (no videos).


Artist: NIGHTMARES ON WAX
Title: A Word of Science
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: 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."


Artist: VA
Title: Artificial Intelligence II
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: WARP 023CD
The second installment of AI. New domestic mid-line reissue; previous U.S. edition on TVT is now deleted. Originally released in 1994, this was the eighth and final release of Warp's Artificial Intelligence series of albums. Artificial Intelligence II saw the original AI contributors joined with artists who were new to the Warp stable. Includes tracks by Mark Franklin, The Higher Intelligence Agency, Link, B12, Balil (Plaid/Black Dog), Autechre, Beaumont Hannant, Speedy J, Richard H. Kirk, and Seefeel.


Artist: MIRA CALIX
Title: One On One
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: WARP 073CD
"Mira Calix's (aka Chantal Passamonte) debut album is back on Warp in the US with two bonus tracks including a gorgeous Boards of Canada remix. 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."


Artist: LIDELL, JAMIE
Title: Muddlin Gear
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog #: WARP 075CD
"The solo debut album from one half of Super Collier, a split release between Warp and Spymania. 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). Not too many vocal tracks either (could see the inclusion of many such an issue, despite his vocal brilliance). Sort of needs to be heard to be believed. Believe it." --- Hrvatski.


Artist: SQUAREPUSHER
Title: Go Plastic
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: WARP 085CD
"Go Plastic is the record that folks have been waiting for... a more aggro, technologically-oriented outing. The incredibly catchy leadoff single, 'My Red Hot Car,' is revisited as a mind-bending two-step workout, Lee Scratch Perry stylee. Dub and d'n'b elements weigh in heavy on Go Plastic. Breaks rush by at the speed of light only to be tethered to some of Jenkinson's moodiest melodic work. Go Plastic is simply one of the most exciting, sinister records of the year."


Artist: BROTHOMSTATES
Title: Claro
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: WARP 088CD
"One of the newest additions to the Warp family, Brothomstates has arrived fully-formed, after only one EP and a series of compilation tracks on European labels even more obscure than we. Hailing from Finland, Brothomstates is one Lassi Nikko and his debut album, Claro, is a startling opening salvo, confidently weaving airy atmospherics with frittering sequencing. Straddling the territories of Boards of Canada's melodicism and Autechre's rhythm experimentation, Claro will be a welcome addition to the collections of fans of the former, who are looking for a few more BPMs, and for those who have been sidetracked by the latter's more abstract sonic experiments."


Artist: REQ
Title: Sketchbook
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog #: WARP 089CD
"Req comes to us from Brighton where he attended the Skint Skool, releasing two previous albums (One and Frequency Jams) of some completely spaced out wall of old skool beats with brushes of techno/electro scribbles. Many of you may notice that he's got a different accent, well that's because Brighton is in England, far away across the Atlantic Ocean. But kids, I'm sure you'll be able to get along with Req just fine, as his parents tell me that he's well schooled in early American hip hop culture (pre-'King of Rock') with a specialty in graffiti art and disc jockeying."


Artist: ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM
Title: Arrhythmia
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog #: WARP 094CD
"Beans, Priest and Sayyid have concocted something very special. It can honestly be said that there's never been anything quite like it in hip hop. The flow, the hooks, and the production are all just amazing. Arrhythmia could be described at different times as experimental, funky, catchy, humorous, operatic, uplifting, sly and wry. But, it's always tight."


Artist: NIGHTMARES ON WAX
Title: Mind Elevation
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: WARP 095CD
"All the qualities that made NoW's Smokers Delight (Warp/TVT '95) and Carboot Soul (Warp/Matador 99) LPs chilled-out classics are present and accounted for: uplifting melody lines and crisp hip hop and stoned rhythms that combine into refreshing r 'n' b jams, more nourished on Quincy Jones and Curtis Mayfield than on New Jack Diddy. There are even more vocal delights to be had this time out: from the reggae-tinged observational sociology of '70's 80's' to the sassy diva bounce of the first single, 'Know My Name.'"


Artist: VA
Title: OST Morvern Callar
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: WARP 098CD
"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." Artists include: Can, Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Sterolab, The Velvet Underground, Broadcast, Gamelan Drumming, Holgar Czukay, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, and Ween.

"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, Tomorrow Right Now.

Artist: MIRA CALIX
Title: Skimskitta
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: WARP 104CD
"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 is just Mira Calix, and just sounds like itself."

Artist: PREFUSE 73
Title: One Word Extinguisher
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: WARP 105CD
"Prefuse 73, also known as musical wiz kid Scott Herren, drops the highly anticipated follow up to 2001's seminal Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives. The new LP, titles One Word Extinguisher, features an eclectic mix of futuristic, next-level productions. The Prefuse sound is undeniable and exceeds even the highest expectations. He is a multi-instrumentalist (seen clearly in his Savath + Savalas incarnation where he plays guitars/bajosexto/guitarron/concertina/harmonium/cello/tamborine, drums, all strings and vocals) and that element of his talent seeps in deep with this new record. Herren is viewed by many other producers and DJs as a true innovator. He is on some way otherlevel with what he is doing now and the results are stunning and quite accessible."


Artist: BROADCAST
Title: Haha Sound
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: WARP 106CD
"Broadcast's full-length debut for Warp, The Noise Made By People, expanded the band's sonic template with allusions to soundtrack composers such as John Barry and Ennio Morricone, as well as '60s Los Angeles electronic pioneers the United States Of America. Haha Sound is the perfect follow up to The Noise Made By People. Trish Keenan's vocals have never sounded so dreamy and persuasive, a feat which is further glorified by her ability to replicate these achievements live. Not since Liz Fraser has a voice been used so effectively in becoming an instrument for the a band her screams and wails becoming indistinguishable from the organized cacophony around her at times. Broadcast's uncanny mix of perfect, pop productions and darker, more sinister offerings make the band impossible to pigeonhole. The bright tracks sound like nursery rhymes for adults with underlying messages of love and adulation, while the darker tracks remind us that a big bad wolf might be lurking somewhere in the shadows."


Artist: REQ
Title: Car Paint Scheme
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: WARP 108CD
"Old school aerosol artist, graffiti master, experimental hip hop visionary, Req has been tagged by others almost as many times as he's tagged himself. Attempts to pigeonhole either his art or his music, however, are consistently confounded by his innate ability to go off at a tangent. Even as a fledgling graffiti artist he was considered rather avant garde by his peers and this independent attitude is equally evident in his music. Reqs latest album is Car Paint Scheme, a collection of outstanding warm, dubby Req gems. After releasing two albums for Skint, One (1997) and Frequency Jams (1998) Car Paint Scheme is Req's second album for Warp, following Sketchbook in 2002."


Artist: LFO
Title: Sheath
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: WARP 110CD
"LFO hail from Leeds and were originally composed of Mark Bell and Gez Varley. Early in 1990 they met up, by chance, with the directors of Warp Records who, on the strength of a few rough demos, immediately signed them up. 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, Frequencies. LFO released their second album, Advance, in January 1996. The third LFO album, entitled Sheath, is now released on Warp Records."


Artist: AUTECHRE
Title: Draft 7.30
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: WARP 111CD
"Sean Booth and Rob Browns seventh album as Autechre. Draft 7.30, although just as progressive as any of their releases, offers up a mix of less hidden melodies over their most crunching beats since Basscadet and Tri Repetae."


Artist: PLAID
Title: Spokes
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: WARP 114CD
"Spokes marks a return in mood, if not production, to some of their earlier work in the 90s as The Black Dog, but retains the characteristic harmonic warmth and rhythmical sensibility they have developed as Plaid. Although unashamedly optimistic in parts, it reaches more melancholic and darker spaces than their recent outings on Warp (their last full length being 2001's Double Figure)."


Artist: EDGAR, JIMMY
Title: Color Strip
Label: WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: WARP 116CD
"For a few years running, Detroit dance phenom Jimmy Edgar has been topping tastemakers list as the new kid on the block to watch. After two eclectic electroid EPs for Warp, Jimmy drops his debut full-length and the dance heads are ready. Still marked by Edgar's insane programming skills and ultra-melodic synthesizer touches, the scalpel-sharp tunes on Color Strip are pure hip shakers. Like Timbaland producing Metro Area under the watchful eye of Carl Craig, these are dance tunes that you can hum as you gyrate. This time around vocals are added in perfect places, synth hooks are made mammoth and the result is that sex oozes from each sweaty track."
