Artist:	MIRA CALIX
Title:	Pin Skeeling
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	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."

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."

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.

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:	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:	MORRIS, CHRIS
Title:	Blue Jam
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	WARP 079CD

"Commercial document of Morris' short running (1997-1999) BBC radio 1 show, whose peculiar humorous slant has garnered a great many fans (seemingly exclusively drawn out amidst the electronica elite), placed him amongst the pantheon of great UK comic geniuses (har). While it's easy to see such gifted euphemisms as "Introduce me to Gladston (HELLO!)", "Cackle my Gladys", "Green Spunky" (all BadSex2) work their way into the cubicle-speak genus, it's feasible the main appeal of this particular item lies within the choice of backing tones 'neath the constant 'commentary'; tracks from Aphex Twin, Labradford, Amon Tobin, Funki Porcini, Herbaliser, Maxwell Implosion, Brian Eno, Propellerheads, Jimi Tenor, Fila Brazillia, etc... Altogether pretty damn funny stuff, rather overtly awkward in places (i.e 'Unflustered Parents') but mostly the sort of shtick you'd equate with the home-studio boffin/outcast lifestyle; detached and often a little too over-the-top/socially awkward. Riotous though, absolutely riotous." -- Hrvatski.

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.

Title:	Prickle EP
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$6.00
Catalog #:	WAP 145CD

"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."

Artist:	ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM
Title:	The Ends Against The Middle
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$9.00
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:	$7.00
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:	BEANS
Title:	Now, Soon, Someday
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	WAP 167CD

"The depth and weight of the beat on NSS shows that Beans production technique is maturing beyond all previous recognition while his rhymes are becoming more searching, revealing and autobiographical. By touching on human weakness and frailties, his music is opening up, and he is truly becoming a great wordsmith. The six brand new tracks are accompanied by staggering remixes from El-P and Prefuse 73, independent hip hops two greatest boundary pushers."

Artist:	TEAM SHADETEK
Title:	Burnerism
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	WAP 170CD

"Burnerism is the debut release of Team Shadetek on Warp records. The title refers to both the pyrotechnically abstract aesthetics of wild-style graffiti and the artists practice of allowing no tracks to escape their SHTBox studio unless they are tested and confirmed burning hot. Soze.sht and Zats One grew up in the same neighborhood in downtown Manhattan and started producing tracks together in 1999. Their early releases on their own Shadetek label along with recent releases on Kid606's Tigerbeat family of labels have been extremely well received around the world."

Artist:	EDGAR, JIMMY
Title:	Bounce, Make, Model
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	WAP 180CD

"A definite progression from his previous Access Rhythm EP, Bounce, Make, Model continues Edgar's irreverent fusion of Detroit techno and global hiphop that has made him a hipster sensation. Ideal for both headphones and dancefloors, Jimmy's latest batch of beats are bona fide party-starters. In fact, the track 'Uniform (Citation)' is so ready to be cut up on two turntables that the vinyl version of Bounce, Make, Model features the track on both pieces of wax for added turntable aerobics."

Artist:	MAXIMO PARK
Title:	Apply Some Pressure
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$7.00
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:	PREFUSE 73
Title:	Hideyface (feat. Ghostface & El-P)
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.00
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:	PREFUSE 73
Title:	Read the Books E.P.
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
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:	BOARDS OF CANADA
Title:	Trans Canada Highway EP
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	WAP 200CD

"The enigmatic Boards Of Canada sneak out of the shadows once more with an EP that recalls classics like A Beautiful Place In The Country and Hi Scores. Lovelorn clouds of analog melody, shuffle happy drum programming and deep, restless synth tones color the new tunes, particularly headtrippers 'Heard From Telegraph Lines' and 'Under The Coke Sign'. Also included here is the standout album cut 'Dayvan Cowboy,' as well an LSD-friendly remix from Anticon's Odd Nosdam."

Artist:	HUNDRED IN THE HANDS, THE
Title:	This Desert
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	WAP 293CD

"This Desert strikes a path that touches on elegant French pop, blissed out dub, house and post-punk. The 6-track EP sets the stage for deeper explorations on a full-length this fall (2010). The Brooklyn-based duo consisting of Jason Friedman and Eleanore Everdell creates emotionally charged and intensely driving music, which harks back to the most classic of dance songs from NYC's storied underground. The band describes the EP as, 'The more ethereal, gauzy side of our tastes; the Summertime-Gothic and dreamy tracks we made thinking they'd go well with open hydrants and looks that kill.' But The Hundred in the Hands' self-description belies more than just a dance band. Everdell and Friedman bend and blend styles, sounds and eras into something that doesn't feel confused, fake or forced. It just feels fun."

Artist:	AFRICA HITECH
Title:	Hitecherous EP
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WAP 298EP

"Africa Hitech is more than a name; it is an ideology - one that embodies its members' passions for an eclectic diaspora of electronic styles, from dub and acid to UK garage, grime, techno, house and Jamaican dancehall. Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek stand at the intersection of all these styles (and more) and the result is a bass-fuelled manifesto: the opening salvo being 'Blen'. Africa Hitech forms part of Mark Pritchard's collective of projects, MPP Productions. MPP is a banner under which all the wide-ranging productions from this prolific producer exist. This includes Africa Hitech, Harmonic 313, new Reload material, and more. Essentially twisting the sonic palette of Detroit techno to fit their vision of post-apocalyptic riddims, Hitecherous is all oxygen-sucking bass kicks and razor snares until Spacek comes in over choruses of insect synths. This is not the smooth Steve Spacek you may know from his eponymous band, this is Steve Spacek as a rudeboy from the future. Decrying haters trying to 'take di piss', his unique patois creates its own intriguing atmosphere."

Artist:	MOHAWKE, HUDSON
Title:	Satin Panthers
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	WAP 313EP

"There are few young UK artists who can unite the affections of Chris Brown, Flying Lotus, Just Blaze, Battles and The Weeknd--however that's just the effect Hudson Mohawke's neon-lit take on postmodern R&B has on people. The Glaswegian producer's ascent has been swift and steady over the past few years. The one-two punch of the Polyfolk Dance EP and full-length Butter has made fans not only out of wide eyed clubgoers, but also the kind of critical minds in the position to make grand statements. One such grand statement in an issue of The Guardian called Hudson Mohawke 'the new J Dilla' while placing him atop a new generation of producers including Mark Ronson and Jamie xx. On 2009's Butter, HudMo took in a spectrum of influences ranging from Cybotron and Outkast to Aaliyah and Prince. Satin Panthers casts just as wide a net in its five tracks, with a particular eye on the energy of early rave records. Fusing the sound of contemporary American R&B and the still-present specter of classic UK rave may sound like an obvious proposition, but nowhere has it been executed so well as here."

Artist:	BIBIO
Title:	Excuses
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	10"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	WAP 314EP

"The first single from Bibio's album Mind Bokeh is 'Excuses'. The track is a warm haze of layered sounds and clip-clop percussion, which gives way as the song is hoist upright, with Bibio's bright vocals percolating through a cluster of rhythmical spikes. Its effects are achieved in part through Bibio's use of the old, Surrealist technique of automatic writing -- a partial switching off of the conscious mind in order to explore and liberate deeper, repressed truths. The B-side from the 10" single is a non-album track titled 'Old Friends'."

Artist:	AFRICA HITECH
Title:	Out In The Streets (VIP)
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	WAP 315EP

"Out in the Streets is the flagship slice of 1980s Jamaica and youth culture explosion of juke from Africa Hitech's debut album 93 Million Miles (out now on Warp Records). The track has taken over clubs and airwaves across the globe this summer, championed by Gilles Peterson, Rob da Bank and Zane Lowe ('I LOVE IT!') on BBC Radio 1, Jason Bentley at KCRW (LA), and everywhere in between. DJs and producers have professed their love as well, including ModeSelector, Kode9, Diplo, Flying Lotus, The Gaslamp Killer, Untold, Toddla T, Benji B, Scratcha DVA and many more. For this limited 12' single version, the track has undergone a powerful D'n'Besque reworking or, as Africa Hitech's Steve Spacek puts it: 'A little alternate flex on the 'Out In The Streets' track'--to become Out in the Streets (VIP).' The single also features two all new Africa Hitech tracks, 'Caveman Style' and 'Seek Em Step.'"

Title:	My Machines
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	WAP 321EP

"Battles' My Machines, featuring synth-pop pioneer Gary Numan. The track from the band's critically acclaimed sophomore record Gloss Drop (available now on Warp Records) has been hailed by NME as 'propelled on stern, piston drums, pointillistic guitar notes scattering like frightened crickets.' Numan notes that 'working with Battles was an easy choice for me. They have a unique approach to making music and a clear idea of what they want. They are inventive, adventurous, unpredictable and I'm proud to be involved.' The single also includes non-album track 'A.M. Gestalt' as the B-side." Colored vinyl with full-color inner sleeve.

Artist:	ENO, BRIAN
Title:	Panic Of Looking
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	WAP 322CD

"From the recordings that produced Drums Between the Bells--the acclaimed collaboration between Brian Eno and British poet Rick Holland--comes an all new EP titled Panic Of Looking. The six tracks continue the exploration of how lyric & song-writing are perceived in the post-everything era. As the Sunday Times (UK) suggests, 'the poems aren't sung, yet the pieces are undeniably songlike, first because the music refuses to act simply as background, but lurches frequently, sometimes unexpected to the fore, and second because we hear the meaning of the words in the way we normally pick up song lyrics,' while WIRED Magazine calls Eno's soundscapes, 'a tapestry of pillowy synths, minorkey melodies, chiming guitars and skittering drums.'"

Artist:	MY BEST FIEND
Title:	Higher Palms
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	7"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	WAP 324EP

"New York five-piece My Best Fiend deal in epic, hypnotic melodies that cross the emotional and experiential spectrums. The band's current incarnation was formed in 2009, and since then, they've been winning over audiences with their live sound and dynamic performances. Higher Palms is a mesmerizing new track, not designed to shrink into the background, with each note, chord and vocal demanding your full attention. The 7" is backed with a remix from new jack Young Montana (Alpha Pup) who's fresh off an acclaimed debut LP, giving MBF his beat chop style on a hypercolor canvas, saturated with soul and lit with innovation."

Artist:	LFO
Title:	Frequencies
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 003CD

"LFO is one of the most influential dance acts to come out of the UK. Signed to Warp over two decades ago on the strength of a few scrappy demos, their sound is still as fresh today as it was in warehouse parties of the early nineties. Frequencies has influenced multiple producers, DJs and bands throughout the years, and the original album charted worldwide and gained Top 40 placement in the UK. It includes the cult dance floor filler 'LFO,' which achieved a number twelve chart position in the UK. LFO originally released Frequencies in 1991, an album that not only plays a crucial part in Warp's history - but also represents a pivotal moment for the British rave movement."

Artist:	NIGHTMARES ON WAX
Title:	A Word of Science
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
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."

Catalog #:	WARP 006CD

The seminal 1992 CD compilation that jump-started the whole IDM wave. New domestic mid-line reissue; previous U.S. edition on TVT is now deleted. AI marked the Warp debut for Aphex (as the Diceman) and Autechre. Featuring classic tracks by: The Dice Man (Aphex Twin), Musicology (B12), Autechre, I.A.O. (Black Dog), Speedy J, UP! (Richie Hawtin) & Dr. Alex Paterson (Orb). The funny but serious manifesto reads: "electronic music for the mind created by trans-global electronic innovators...Real people whose unity lies in a common sound + spirit and whose 'listening music' cannot be described as either soulless or machine-driven. The atmosphere and emotion both come from the musicians, their machines are merely the means to a human end."

Title:	Surfing On Sine Waves
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	WARP 007CD

New US Edition for 2001, with 2 bonus tracks. "Perhaps the most concise of his early releases, Surfing... sounds as refreshing today as it did almost a decade ago. James' gift for moody atmospherics is on prominent display in both complex melody lines and flowing abstract patterns. 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

Catalog #:	WARP 008CD

New domestic mid-line reissue; previous U.S. edition on TVT is now deleted. The third in Warp's series of Artificial Intelligence albums, originally issued in 1993. Black Dog was the trio of Ken Downie, Ed Handley and Andy Turner (the latter split off to eventually form Plaid), and this was their first of two full-lengths for Warp (1995's Spanners was next), following a long series of EPs dating back to the late '80s on their Black Dog Productions label, GPR, Rising High, etc. The quintessential early Warp machine-music sound and an utter classic of it's day, this showcases England's answer to Derrick May like nothing else that comes to mind. Although it's technically a compilation of tracks by various Black Dog alias' (Plaid, Xeper, Atypic, Close Up Over, I.A.O., Discordian Popes & Balil), this flows seemlessly though the AI emotional streamline with explosive grace.

New domestic mid-line reissue; previous US edition on TVT is now deleted. The debut full-length from the duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, originally issued in 1993 as one of the final installments in Warp's Artificial Intelligence series. Autechre would follow this up with Amber, Tri Repetae, Chiastic Slide etc. -- a perfect progression of electronic sound imagery, from the ambient-scape, lushly atmospheric moodiness of the early works to the crunch-process specification that has become so insanely detailed on the later albums.

New domestic mid-line reissue; previous U.S. edition on TVT is now deleted. Originally released in 1994. "Autechre's Rob Brown and Sean Booth have never exactly played safe. They began as electro-loving graffiti artists before progressing to the equally police-unfriendly world of pirate radio. Amber 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 �-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. 'Yulquen' and 'Teartear' are object lessons in ominous, otherworldly techno. Which about sums up where Autechre are at -- out on the fringes, having a good rummage through the weird and the beautiful." --Mike Barnes, Select Magazine

Title:	Smokers Delight
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 036CD

Domestic issue of their 2nd album, originally issued 1995. "George Evelyn -- experimental sample expert, soul aficionado, club manager, DJ and founding father of the trip-hop genre -- is the name behind the groove collective known as Nightmares On Wax. As laid back as the vibe on the beaches of Goa he loves to frequent, Evelyn's second album displays a startling lucidity. Strings that caress and plodding drumbeats are deftly arranged to leave a subliminal sound guaranteed to soothe even the most stressful of days. An eclectic and well-implemented array of live musical influences and the raw resonance of the production define Smokers Delight, marking it out as an album that rises above the too often bleep-oriented ambience of the leftfield movement."

Now regarded as the quintessential Warp recording artists, Autrechre have advanced the possibilities of machine-coded music into all new parameters.

"Remastered and recut, this nine track mini album will be available on CD for the first time, seven years after it's original, semi-mythical pressing on Boards of Canada's own label Music7O. This esoteric release, limited to an exclusive hundred copies on vinyl, made it a most sought after contemporary item. A subtle precursor to the ground-breaking Music Has the Right to Children, Twoism gently maps BOC's twilight territory, exploring the themes that would later become unquestionably their own: bittersweet evocations of childhood, haunted pastoral spaces, contriving a detached perspective, or drift, through their grainy organic electronics."

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."

"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.

"It's been a few years since the none-more-deep electro-minimalism of Stay Down, and Messrs Weatherall and Tenniswood have clearly been busy up at the Rotter's Golf Club. Busy having fun, from the sounds of it, because there's a definite sense of gleeful malevolence that scampers through this record, and a sharp, subtle humor that steers it clear of any pitfalls of brooding indulgence that may have lain in wait. 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. Andy and Keith are right back where they like it, on the outside and in the thick of it -- unexpected, wielding all manner of musical weapons and ready to throw some serious spanners in the works. Death to all culture snitches, indeed."

"Prefuse 73, unlike Brazil 66, is the work of a lone gun; a super-sharpshooter by the name of Scott Herren, though he's often mistaken for post-rock jazzbo Savath & Savalas (LP of Hefty last year) and digital subverter Delarosa & Asora (recent EP and LP on Schematic). On Vocal Studies... melancholy pre-fusion jazz passages (hence the name) are infused with punctuating vinyl drops while being brought to a boil over simmering beats and electronic glitchwork. Guest MC spots (from the likes of Aesop Rock, MF Doom, Mikah 9 and Sam Prekop) are deconstructed and re-animated into percussive instrumentation. Make no mistake about it, Prefuse 73 is where Scott Herren's passions truly flower. Vocal Studies... draws together elements from his alter-egos to craft a devastating blend of downtempo instrumental hip hop that opens a new vista for the genre to explore."

"The partnership between Andy Turner and Ed Hanley has been flourishing for over a decade now. Even before their stint as two-thirds of the seminal Black Dog Productions, the two of them were concocting a brew of crisp funky electro-hop together, as has been recently documented in the recent Trainer anthology of early material. As satisfying a treat the Trainer comp was, fans of the group are sure to delight in their brand new opus, Double Figure. Featuring some of their most ambitious work to date, the music can be seductively serene, combining catchy melody lines with brooding arrangements. At other times, it can be brutally kinetic, driven by pulsating sequencers and funky, frenetic breakbeats. Plaid have simply delivered their best album yet in the form of this 70-minute masterpiece."

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."

"Clarence Park is the debut album from Chris Clark, a student from Bristol whose music teacher told him that if he ever bought a drum machine he would give up all hope in the development of Chris' talent and music ability. Chris promptly bought one just to spite him. Most people would think Chris' music is influenced by ravey techno, jungle, computer games and more abstract electronics. He thinks his music sounds like Prince and he doesn't really care what other people think. Well, maybe a bit. He cares about 5.34 per cent, so think Aphex Twin, Cylob, Squarepusher. We think this is something very special. Strangely melodic and melodically strange theme music for playing with the toys in your attic...or burying the bodies in your cellar."

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."

"If you've ever had the good fortune of talking to or spending time with Tom Jenkinson, you get a glimpse of hope in a future world for music... a way forward, which is something that is getting harder to see and hear in today's cultural morass. Watching the music, almost literally, spin 'round in his brain in the course of a normal day, habitually drumming out rhythms or mouthing arrangements is like a twilight thunderstorm rolling across the plains. 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.' Oh yeah, CD format comes with a bonus disc of []pusher live in Japan."

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.

"Boards of Canada withdrew from society four years ago after the release of their classic album Music Has the Right to Children. They have been working on music ever since, amassing over 90 songs, some of which can be heard on this new LP Geogaddi. The album has been worth the wait, not a 'child of the time' but a 'mother of the future,' an album that stands alone inspired by nature, mathematics and the 'disturbing side' of the human psyche, and has already been referred to by the NME as the record that they hoped Kevin Shields (of My Bloody Valentine) would have gone on to make after Loveless. Geogaddi is full of 'scientific psychedelic music' and the feeling that the sounds are barely in control, a definite step away from Music Has the Right to Children, whilst still maintaining the well-loved BOC flavor of beauty and childlike innocence."

We know it's just devalued your precious 12" collection somewhat, but you can't blame us. Encompassing 10 years of always evolving, unpredictable Aphex Twin sounds, from acid tax and raved-up bangers to strangely commercial pop and his inimitably delicate, ambient empathies, 26 Mixes For Cash is a proper milestone, a greatest hits on the sly from the original leader of the dance music pack. The Aphex Twin way is to approach mixes more like 'fixes'. If a track was any good, it wouldn't need remixing, would it? This could explain the presence of Jesus Jones' 'Zeros and Ones', and why his Curve remix, released only as a single-sided 12", is renowned as a complete classic. It might also provide a clue as to why he has turned down remix requests from Bjork, Madonna, Limp Bizkit and Super Furry Animals to name just a few."

"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."

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."

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.

"It seems crazy when you think about it, but YosepH is Luke Vibert's first ever release on Warp Records. Throughout his career, Luke has masterfully matched his natural creative bounce -- the man can't help himself, he's been known to produce a track a day for months on end -- with an ear for accessibility, and never more successfully than on YosepH (note the 'pH' -- which here refers to a table of basses, acids and very excited neurons). The logical conclusion to years of self-inflicted abuse within the genre of 'acid-techno', YosepH is what you might call an acid renaissance album -- timeless, perfect and sonically magical. A record for the mind that can cut it on the dancefloor (try to resist the raving lure of 'I Love Acid', 'Acidisco' or 'Synthax') YosepH is a seriously addictive romp through fields of freshly home-baked acid, wrought with much love from loads of gnarly, vintage analog synths and beautifully polished with meticulous Vibert production glow.

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.

"Named after the frequency produced by planets turning on their axes (which it is believed other beings use to navigate the universe) -- the name Harmonic 33 portrays producer Mark Pritchard's deep interest in intergalactic discovery. Using a haunting take on 60's sound library recordings combined with a slight dose of skewed funk, Mark has produced some of the most interesting instrumental hip-hop to come out of the UK recently. Although presented as a sound library collection, Music For TV/Film And Radio Vol.1 is a cohesive. Whatever the genre Mark's work has been characterized by his ability to give the music more room to get funky, and producing deeply emotional, and twisted sounds. 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."

"It's been over a decade since the duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown met one another and, over the course of five albums and numerous EPs under the Autechre name (say aw-TECH-er) and their alter-ego, Gescom (say GES-com), they have simply reshaped modern electronic music as we know it. There are so many landmark releases from them that there's literally not enough space on this page to do them all justice. Electro, techno, hip hop, ambient, modern classical, geometry, chaos theory... Autechre harness these constructs, push them beyond their breaking points and recombine them into glistening creations. it's easy to get lost in the perception of amorphous beauty in some of their pieces, but there's a meticulous precision to all their work that makes it all the more striking."

"So, hip-hop it is, albeit an alien strain made by a mind just as influenced by Sun Ra, Battles and folk music as it is by Jadakiss, Kanye West and the Def Jux crew. In this context, Surrounded By Silence is an opus that connects everything about hip-hop that is left-of-center to some of it's most popular and recognizable elements. A tag team made up of the Wu-Tang's Ghostface and ex-Company Flow MC El-P? Got it. Def Jukie Camu Tao rocking a radio-ready flow over a wickedly chopped beat? It's in there."

Title:	A Certain Trigger
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD

Catalog #:	WARP 130CD

"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.'"

Erstwhile co-pilot in the digi-funk colossus Super_Collider (alongside Cristian Vogel), Jamie Lidell has spent the intervening period since 2001 conquering, nay, vanquishing, the stage with a blazing solo live show, (costume and live VJ enhanced), pitched somewhere between 'a 21st century reincarnation of Little Richard' with 'a soul voice fried in honey like Sly Stone or Prince, and a beatboxing talent to make Muhammad Ali quake in his Everlast,' delivering time and again 'a thrilling, visceral performance,' 'pure, visceral power: a scintillating display of demented musical and physical energy,' both 'exhilarating' and 'astounding,' A British soul vocalist beyond your wildest imagination, , Jamie Lidell has crafted a twisted R&B album with all the hallmarks of a vintage classic. Multiply is a refreshingly modern update that retains all the power, pop and emotion of singers like Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Al Green and even peak period Michael Jackson, immersed in the energy and virtuosity of production masterminds like Quincy Jones or Herbie Hancock, done in inimitable Jamie Lidell style.

"Multi-instrumentalist songwriter Nick Talbot exhibits a shark-like inability to stay still. Over the course of four albums the Gravenhurst moniker has charted the waters from bedroom melancholy, through acid-folk murder balladry and now, sprawling experimental rock music, suggesting influences as diverse as My Bloody Valentine, Slint, Richard Thompson and the Velvet Underground. Complex, filmic arrangements ('Down River') keep company with literate, romantic songwriting ('Nicole') and hypnotic, kraut-rock workouts ('The Velvet Cell'). The whole 50-odd minutes is suffused with competing themes of violence and deliverance, paranoia and epiphany, squalor and ascendance, peaking with the horrifying 'Animals.'"

"Alongside fellow Warp artists like Boards Of Canada and Autechre, the UK's Nightmares On Wax have steadfastly placed themselves in a league of artist that refuse to go the way of so many electronica early-burners. Taking a penchant for mid-'90s golden era hip-hop production flourishes, a deep love for tipsy Jamaican dub and a working knowledge of leftfield European electro, Nightmares On Wax have added to their already impressive catalog with In A Space Outta Sound. With a stronger dubwise rocksteady vibe than past NOW releases, the new album is still firmly rooted in the dusty funk that has anchored past collaborations and remixes with hip-hop heavy hitters like De La Soul, Roots Manuva, Black Eyed Peas' frontman Will.i.Am and RJD2."

"To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their original release, Warp have reissued the legendary Hangable Auto Bulb EPs on a single CD. As vital a historic document as there is in electronic music, the EPs were the very first to introduce the complex, cut-up breaks that have since become synonymous with Aphex Twin's work, from Richard D. James and I Care Because You Do, right through to Drukqs and the Analord series. They have of course also inspired countless other producers in the intervening years. Originally limited to only a few thousand copies each, the two HAB volumes have become extremely rare collectors' items, and are arguably the most valuable and sought-after of the entire Warp catalogue. Now they are brought together on a single CD, beautifully packaged by The Designers Republic."

For Greedy Baby, Plaid have collaborated with Brighton-based animator and video artist Bob Jaroc to create an entire visual world for the music to exist in the form of a companion DVD. Combining film, video and animation, the visuals included here range from the colorfully abstract to subtle, shape-changing mini-tales.

"Born at the Royal Festival on March 10th 2003, the London Sinfonietta/Warp concerts grew out of a shared desire to explore the connection between the electronic experimenters on the Warp label and the avant-garde 20th century pioneers who were their sonic grandfathers, at least on one side. New instrumental versions of Squarepusher and Aphex Twin tracks sit side by side with avant-garde classics. There is no crossover -- it's the unexpected juxtaposition, in the belief that the different kinds of music shed light on each other. The relationship between human musicians and machines, both electronic and mechanical, provides a kind of idee fixe which runs through this collection of music, recorded live from packed concert halls around the United Kingdom."

Catalog #:	WARP 147CD

"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."

Catalog #:	WARP 172CD

"In these recent heady days, hype spreads like digital swine-flu and new artists are subjected to the sea change of an entire career before ever developing their sound. So to exist outside of the spotlight and develop a sound at once ready for the masses online, yet rooted in the fierce individualism of artists past may seem somewhat of a quaint notion until you hear Gonjasufi. At the moment, he stands just outside the spotlight cast on his friends and collaborators Flying Lotus and The Gaslamp Killer, but the sonic brotherhood that exists is implicit rather than as similarities in sound. Drawing from unearthed strains of global psychedelia and merging it with a rejuvenated sense of hip-hop clarity currently distinct to the West Coast, Gonjasufi is more than just a songwriter, MC or performer. His debut album A Sufi And A Killer recalls moments in love as well as trading sinister threats with enemies, sometimes within the same song. Trading in both the murk of lo-fidelity vintage samples and the concentrated crispness of current West Coast production, A Sufi And A Killer is both a roadmap to the riches of the distant past and a signpost to the future."

"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 Central Market to fruition."

"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."

The aesthetics of this ex-mill were a pure joy for LoneLady, and invoked the ghosts of bands she loves ... (Joy Division, ESG, Wire, Grace Jones, The Fall, Suicide, PiL). Co-produced by Julie and Guy Fixsen (My Bloody Valentine, The Breeders, Stereolab), LoneLady has delivered far more than just an assembly of songs in album form, but the outcome of a process of making something out of nothing."

"Nice Nice are from Portland, Oregon. Jason Buehler and Mark Shirazi have been using their guitars, drums, voices, electronics and lots of other stuff to create their 'post-everything modern music' for nearly a decade. By playing countless kinetic live shows around the US, they've honed their unorthodox craft. Extra Wow is an extremely apt title for an album that presents itself as a constantly unfolding collection of kaleidoscopic musical sediments. Each song effectively builds on the one before it to create the effect of an album-length crescendo that encompasses everything from forward-reaching psychedelia and neo-primitive electronic experiments to dub rhythms and learned lessons from the pillars of Krautrock. From the acid-punk opening of 'One Hit,' it's apparent that establishing your equilibrium within the world of Nice Nice will not be easy."

"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.'"

"Jamie Lidell is a genuinely restless soul. He broke out of small-town England and has been a nomad ever since. His constant desire to progress, leaping and stumbling towards new discoveries, has defined his musical journey so far; and there's no sign of it fading away. Recorded in Los Angeles, New York and Canada, Compass is his most eclectic album yet. Songs shift, chop, change and mutate genres and forms before our very ears. It's got funk in spades; the jaw-dropping power of the vocals is stronger than ever; it rocks, it pops, it's sweet, angry, hard, soulful and soft, often within the span of a single track. It's the restless album that finally matches the soul of its creator. Jamie's fellow travelers on Compass include Beck, Feist, Gonzales, Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and Pat Sansone of Wilco. Musically and lyrically this is very much A Jamie Lidell Production reflecting not only his exhilarating, diverse tastes, but also a year of change, love, longing and arrival at a new place. For both newcomers and initiates, this will be an experience. And no, he won't stop."

"On the heels of their critically acclaimed EP, This Desert, Brooklyn's The Hundred in the Hands will release their debut full-length on Warp Records. Time Out New York says 'The Hundred in the Hands music springs from that sliver of the early '80s in which pop was personal, arty and potentially angry,' while Brooklyn Vegan calls their EP 'a bit post-punky, a bit shoegaze-y but sounds like now. And you can dance to it.' The new recording follows the band's first national tour and a wave of critical praise from the U.K. and Europe. The Hundred in the Hands is an album of deceptively complex pop songs which hark back to the dance music of NYC's storied underground. Where their EP feels like a summertime pop dream, THITH's album conjures the spirit of downtown's mutant disco scene as made legendary by clubs like the Paradise Garage."

"When global bass music matriarch Mary Anne Hobbs told The Fader 'Flying Lotus, for me, is like the Hendrix of his generation,' it seemed more than an audacious opinion, and with the arrival of Cosmogramma, it's revealed as a revelation. In the past couple of years since his debut album, Los Angeles, Flying Lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer; he has helped materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics. No longer simply an outgrowth of Ellison's machines, the music here is also the product of live instrumentalists from the worlds that Cosmogramma engages. There's the constant bass presence of 'Thundercat,' a cornerstone of Sa-Ra Creative; there's Rebekah Raff's harp connecting the dots between the music of Harry Partch and Ghostface Killah (both of which she's performed); there's an appearance by the tenor sax of Steven's cousin and jazz royalty, Ravi Coltrane, and by the voice of one Thom Yorke, an Oxford bloke taking respite from singing in the most influential rock band of the 21st century."

In the past couple of years since his debut album, Los Angeles, Flying Lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer; he has helped materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics. No longer simply an outgrowth of Ellison's machines, the music here is also the product of live instrumentalists from the worlds that Cosmogramma engages. There's the constant bass presence of 'Thundercat,' a cornerstone of Sa-Ra Creative; there's Rebekah Raff's harp connecting the dots between the music of Harry Partch and Ghostface Killah (both of which she's performed); there's an appearance by the tenor sax of Steven's cousin and jazz royalty, Ravi Coltrane, and by the voice of one Thom Yorke, an Oxford bloke taking respite from singing in the most influential rock band of the 21st century."

"This is by far the most accessible record Squarepusher (aka Tom Jenkinson) has ever made. This was not the original intent, but the result is clear. This record will change the way people view Squarepusher. Having been known as a leader and innovator in drum 'n bass and various forms of up tempo electronic music for 15 years, Jenkinson was always able to push the boundaries of the genre, but on Shobaleader One: d'Demonstrator, he is pushing so far beyond his previous releases it is easy to hear why it might take a few listens to register that this is indeed a Squarepusher record. Vocals? R&B rhythms? Heavy synths? These and other un-Squarepusher like elements form what could even be described as 'baby makin' music'. Jenkinson's vast knowledge of rhythm and harmony help to make these songs much more than nu-soul R&B, they are truly an entity unto themselves."

Catalog #:	WARP 198CD

"As Warp's first Australian signing, PVT (formerly Pivot) released their acclaimed debut, O Soundtrack, My Heart in 2008. The band quickly went to work on their follow-up with engineer Burke Reid in Sydney. Their efforts would take the form of an album that builds upon the anthemic synth-driven instrumental movements for which PVT is renowned, along with the power of their visceral live shows. The sound has been brilliantly tempered and expanded by the trio into brooding, melancholic experimental pop - an amalgam of rock synthesis, propulsive rhythms and huge melodic strength. It's a dark and expansive sound that PVT has made substantial movements on this record to make their own. Church With No Magic represents a band not afraid to risk its hand for sake of something new."

"Nearly nine years ago Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek began bonding over their shared passion for the seemingly disparate spheres of bubbling Detroit techno, soul and fierce Jamaican digital dancehall. By pure coincidence, the two found themselves living in Australia, and that connection was cemented by the forming of Africa Hitech, the moniker which represents both Steve and Mark's love for all things progressive within music, whilst acknowledging that the roots of much of today's popular music can be traced directly back to Africa. Their first full length project for Warp is titled 93 Million Miles. 93 Million Miles is an unflinchingly ambitious product of international globe-trotting that carves a new faultline into the rapidly expanding terrain of 'bass music'...or whatever it's being called this week."

"Conceived by Mark Clifford and Sarah Peacock in the early '90s, Seefeel immediately became groundbreaking leaders of the divergent quasi-movement known as 'shoegaze', by amalgamating electronics in ways most of their peers in traditional bands would never dream of. They managed to fuse the early Acid House and techno sounds with guitar, drums and bass into urgent melodic waves that on early releases like Quique and Succour oscillated between hopefulness, introspection and downright menace. Now comes the all new self-titled full length, as a new generation of young bands the world over look once again to building their own walls of sound, Seefeel stand ready again to play not only the inspired outsiders, but also the inspirational forerunners. With much talk of implied mysticism abound in music these days, Seefeel deals this out in sonic revelations. From the glacial 'Airless' to the lumbering intensity of 'Dead Guitars' and the ghostly harmonics of 'Faults' each step feels of deeply personal progression. Mark Clifford, 'There is a real dynamic, creative process that's exciting. I feel the music we have made for these initial releases is just the very start and we already have a number of ideas/tracks in place for future releases that I feel push our own boundaries even further. As well as this, we are growing as a live band, adding elements of improvisation and looser structures unimaginable to us a few years back, and with continued touring I'm excited to see how we develop in that direction.'"

Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 206CD

"It's a tricky thing, re-working a completely unique and peerless piece of music. It is made even trickier when the personality behind the original music is so vivid and otherworldly that it is almost sure to continue to cast its long shadow over whatever new form is chosen for it. It didn't hurt that Gonja had made fans out of quite a few incredibly talented artists. So, The Caliph's Tea Party was slowly summoned to life. Like the Caliphs of the Ummahs of the 7th century, orchestrating affairs from their palaces, Gonjasufi has assembled a collection of artists in his musical world and invited them to exchange ideas. In this spirit, the symbolic and musical centerpiece of the album, as well as its namesake, is the result of the mutual admiration formed between Gonjasufi and Broadcast and The Focus Group. A bewitching, drastic re-working of 'DedNd,' it takes the form of a suite of layered compositions and radiophonic transmissions. Elsewhere, reinterpretations from new talents shine while established artists continue to surprise. Mark Pritchard (Harmonic313, Africa Hitech) channels Ennio Morricone with epic orchestral dystopia on his remix of 'Ancestors' while retaining the inherent gravity of Flying Lotus' original production. Young guns Shlomo and Jeremiah Jae eschew their labeling as 'beatmakers' and tap into a fractured emotional core within 'Change' and 'Holidays', respectively, giving them new leases on life as subtly mechanized melancholia. Bibio smooths out the rough edges of 'Candylane' for a remix indebted to the 1980s R&B leftfield, while Brooklyn's Bear In Heaven and Oneohtrix Point Never deal in heavy motorik meditations and ethereal musique concrete."

"The work in this collection is a result of an occasional collaboration between myself, Leo Abrahams and Jon Hopkins. The two of them are gifted young player/composers whose work, like mine, is intimately connected to the possibilities and freedoms of electronic music. Over the last few years we've worked together several times, exploring the huge new sonic territories now available to musicians. Mostly the pieces on this album resulted not from 'composition' in the classical sense, but from improvisation. The improvisations are not attempts to end up with a song, but rather with a landscape, a feeling of a place and perhaps the suggestion of an event. In a sense they deliberately lack 'personality': there is no singer, no narrator, no guide as to what you ought to be feeling. If these pieces had been used in films, the film would complete the picture. As they stand, they are the mirror-image of silent movies - sound-only movies." --Brian Eno

Title:	The Only She Chapters
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 208CD

"With The Only She Chapters, Guillermo Scott Herren takes an even more exploratory approach to his methodical chaos. An impressive cast of contributors and unique recording process have helped form a body of music far closer in scope to the most esteemed modern compositional works rather than a record built fundamentally around beats and loops. As the sounds within took shape, so did a defined female influence and unifying presence. Says Guillermo, 'The process features all women vocalists and voices and the music was recorded very differently from how I normally work.' The vocalists here include Zola Jesus, Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, Angel Deradoorian and the late Trish Keenan of Broadcast amongst others - all offering their entirely distinct textures and incantations to the already unorthodox musical tapestry and the idea of the albums - female symbol has extended to collaborators on the visual front as well, enlisting illustrator Yuko Michishita and photographer Angel Ceballos. In addition to the unique approach in galvanizing likeminded contributors (including the 'sequencing and eliminating' guidance of friend and collaborator Tyondai Braxton), the musical method employed is remarkable as well, using contact microphones - most often used to record hollow bodied classical instruments, but in this case used for much more, including piano, prepared guitars, woodwinds and cellos - on most of the songs. When meshed with the arsenal of electronics, it embellishes the acoustic sounds with vibrations created from the acoustic instruments in tandem with the female vocals at hand."

Title:	Mind Bokeh

Format:	CD

Catalog #:	WARP 209CD

"Bibio's music may be more familiar to you than you realize. Not necessarily because you've heard it before, but because even on first listen it triggers brilliantly hazy moments of d�j� vu. Of course, there is the strong possibility you have heard his music before, as the soundtrack to scores of Vimeo short films, his previous release (and Pitchfork 'Best New Music'd) Ambivalence Avenue, or more recently in the current Amazon Kindle ad which took 'Lovers' Carvings,' a favorite from the last record as its soundtrack. Since Ambivalence Avenue, his debut for Warp, he's gathered together all the disparate strands of his myriad phases and influences to create a concentrate that works as full-on, neon-lit pop. And not every day, auto-tune pop, but champagne cork pop - a jolting, immediate, highly pleasant surprise from out of the blue, which is titled Mind Bokeh. Says Bibio, 'Bokeh is the out of focus region of a photograph. It's not a quantifiable thing, but photographers and lens manufacturers are obsessed with it. In Japanese it means "haze," "blur," or even "dementia." I called the album Mind Bokeh because I'm interested in the effect of defocusing your mind, whether through meditation, chemicals or whatever - it's a state of mind quite alien to Westerners.' Bibio is on the brink of big pop things but he's the anti-PT Barnum. He recalls (and firmly agrees with) a quote he memorized from an old Boards of Canada interview, 'always assume that the listener is the most intelligent person imaginable. If you always think like that, you never insult the listener.' Mind Bokeh is the album you deserve."

"There are few artists operating in contemporary music whose work could be accurately described as 'pioneering.' Though they'd doubtless balk at the term, Sheffield-via-Manchester's Sean Booth and Rob Brown probably have more claim on the label than most. For theirs is music that, on first listen at least, appears to be without influence, a rich hermetic sound world that is a law unto itself, adhering only to the constraints of its own internal logic. Their 10th studio album, Oversteps shows an oft-overlooked playfulness and a rarely mentioned musicality that comes to the forefront, in what could be described as their most accessible work to date. Between the layers of cold digital pings and fuzzed out tones, there are true chord changes and warm soundscapes being built from the ground up."

"It is true that Gloss Drop is a bewitching, entrancing album that defies both categorization and easy analysis. Just as Mirrored was a massive leap on from the early EPs that first got them noticed, this is truly another seismic shift, propelling them once more into uncharted territory. It is a sheer sense of fun, unpredictability and inventiveness that sets Battles apart from every other contemporary group. Drummer John Stanier sums this up succinctly: 'I don't think challenging, new music has to be super serious all the time. That's really boring to me and pushing boundaries should not be boring.' While other acts are content to deal in revivalism or stasis, Battles are still looking for far-off boundaries to study and then demolish, searching for new and exotic styles to mesh together. Stanier concludes: 'When we're writing songs, no one in this group has ever said 'Wait, we've gone too far. This isn't a Battles song.' Because what is a Battles song? We don't know. All I know is that there are no parameters and no boundaries. That is the whole point and has been since day one.'" Includes poster.

Catalog #:	WARP 217CD

"Following Rustie's Warp debut--2010's Sunburst EP--as well as essential remixes for the likes of Jamie Lidell, Kelis, The Big Pink and Nicki Minaj, he emerged as a crown jewel within Glasgow's already-deep talent pool of genrebusting electronic music producers. The now-classic early releases showcased Rustie's love for obscure Japanese prog-rock, 16-bit video game sonics, icy grime and Detroit techno; creating a vision of the future of rave music. But for Glass Swords, his immensely anticipated, two-years-in-the-making full length debut, Rustie ushers in an otherworldly landscape. Both epic and alien (as the artwork suggests), the rushing neon strains of bright melody and earthquake drums hit you after a brief intro of beguiling synths and guitar meditations. Building colossal tension and release throughout, from first single (and club favorite) 'Ultra Thizz' to the soaring hooks and basement low end of 'Death Mountain' and 'Cry Flames', his record may well leave permanent marks on your stereo. As the album evolves, skittish hooks and warm textures sweep in and out of focus without ever losing the warped narrative that effectively joins Glass Swords into a startling cohesive whole. As an album, it's one that doesn't let up and demands repeat listens to fully appreciate the myriad hum-along melodies and wicked production u-turns, and don't worry about the jittery over-caffeinated feeling you'll have after listening -- it's to be expected."

"In July 2011, DRC Music - a collective of producers led by Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) - headed to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo to make a record with contemporary Congolese musicians. DRC Music is comprised of producers: T-E-E-D (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs), Dan The Automator, Jneiro Jarel, Richard Russell, Actress, Marc Antoine, Alwest, Remi Kabaka, Rodaidh McDonald and Kwes. Each of them has donated their time and waived all royalties to this work. The sounds created were completely different to normal instrumentation because the local instruments were primarily homemade from whatever was available. As Dan the Automator said, 'The equipment they created to make music was amazing. The drive and spirit to create with whatever was available was the highlight to me--old fans, tins, tree trunks, homemade drums, metal rods.' The Democratic Republic of Congo has long been wracked by conflict and is home to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Proceeds from the album will benefit the local performers and Oxfam's work in Congo. Oxfam fights poverty and suffering in DRC through the empowerment of individuals and communities based on their rights, such as the right to clean water or to live in safety. Oxfam has been in DRC for 50 years and now has more than 350 staff in projects across the country, responding to emergency situations in order to save lives."

Catalog #:	WARP 223CD

"MU.ZZ.LE although short in length, is long on message - political, social and spiritual interpretations that define him as an artist. Written on the road, it was an outlet for Gonjasufi to challenge himself. It's the response to all the adrenaline, aggression and anger he felt traveling the world, it's a spectrum of his creativity and a testimony of how one man's passion and determination is often misunderstood as anger. 'There's a duality that exists and to deny it, is the biggest mistake'. The albums down tempo strings, heartbreaking soul, reanimated hip-hop and crackling haunting vocal stylings are stitched as a running thread throughout each song like a patchwork quilt. It's a lonely journey that will take you through the innermost thoughts of Gonjasufi's darkest hours. He recorded and mixed it on his own in his home studio surrounded by his family and the stark contrast of the Mojave Desert. The end product is his outlet and realization for who he is, a way for him to feel comfortable in his own skin again. Akin to discovering a gramophone recording fraught with emotive compositions, it's like finding that hidden gem, the one you can truly relate with. It's the way of dealing with the issues of modern man; oppressed by power, freedom of speech, living your life by a book, dealing with the MU.ZZ.LE that's firmly attached around your mouth."

"Masami Akita AKA Merzbow is most certainly one of the doyens of experimental noise in the whole world. He once made an exclusive CD sold welded into a Mercedes sound system and hired a club in Cambridge, England to play his music back to back in a dark room for 3 solid days where people could go and spend as much time as they wanted to really live the experience. 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. Haswell is a man committed to the extremes in life; a love or hate type person. Satanstornade is probably the most extreme album ever released by Warp."
