"Blueprints" by Wildplanet is pretty unlistenable amateurish stuff. Granted, they pretty much secured a Warp deal with the LFO-esque "Electron" single (the only remotely-good track they've done), but everything else on that album is unlistenable. For _oddest_ Warp release I'd nominate Nightmares on Wax "Word of Science". Someone described this as a combination of Cabaret Voltaire and De La Soul (I guess the best parts) and they're probably right, and this stuff really works! Yet I guess we haven't heard from them for about three years, wonder where they disappeared to... ------------------------------------------------|---------------------------- "Categories strain, crack and break... | Harvey Thornburg Step out of the space provided." | hthornbu@osiris.ac.hmc.edu -Steven Stapleton (1979) | dada_x@venom.st.hmc.edu ------------------------------------------------|----------------------------
