yup nice one! i used to buy music from independant record companys too too but then realised they were shitty because not many people bought them.i only listen to stuff on majors such as britney and maria carey as i can be sure that others like the same as me and basically brittey can't possible be shit because millions buy her stuff.....sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.......... warp are shit not because they are a major but because they only need to release something and people will buy it, and can rely on the fact that most people are too lazy to search out new & better, (yes it really is!!) stuff. try neo ouija, vertical form, static caravan, merck, lux nigra, city centre offices, morr music, the list is endless. even though they probably recieve more demos from new acts than any other 'electronic' label they still only seem to sign acts that have already been road tested (ie money has been put into by a small label who obviously have less money and have to take a greater risk than warp) i.e. b.o.c. from skam and brothamstates from merck, (brothamstates!!!if they wanted an autechre copy why not choose a good one such as proem or funckarma?) savath & savalas from hefty! why was the copy i bought on import from the u.s.a. ?7.99 and when warp repressed it with their logo on it in the UK ?10.99,something wrong here?! then licence tortoise!!!!! why??? apparently they have their eyes on venitian snares now, how original!! and now with WARPMART they are managing to skim a percentage from a lot of the new and better labels, and just because people can't be bothered to look any further. than their site........ genius!! please correct me if i'm wrong here, i grew up on warp, they changed my musical life i would love to still love them but i'm sorry i don't see how i can anymore, can someone help? jerry 'a tasty world, a very tasty world" _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
