Umm...don't know. Warp has particularly spastic relations with
american licensing. TVT/Wax Trax has done some in the past, but
they've gotten very choosy about what they license.
American licensing of European stuff is in general a sore subject. The
UK labels, on a hit release, can sell as many units on import to the
US as they do in the UK/EEU, so they are NOT incredibly eager to license.
Plus, no offense to any label people on here, a 100% ethical record
company is an oxymoron. Imagine having to sue some bastard transantlanticly
to get royalties overdue. It's bad enough if he's across town.
Then there's the self-defeating foot dragging the US labels do. "We
licensed Bimbotronic's latest, and brought it out, and it did squat!"
You release it 9 months after the import is widely available, leave
off tracks, and change the packaging for the worse, what do you expect.

Umm...no.

If that keith bloke would wear a hat and proper trousers, he'd seem more
intelligent to me. As it is he looks like one of the fucking munchkin
officials from the Wizard of Oz in drag. They've got some brilliant tracks,
but a bit away from the 'listening music' favored here. Don't be ashamed
if it floats your boat.

It's the sound of a sampler doing 128th note rolls at 140bpm+. You can
get the same sort of sound on your home computer if you chop the first
20 milleseconds of a snare sound and repeat it 30-40 times. It's
a particularly nasty digital effect that I think should be used sparingly
if at all.

Eh, break out the music into an AIFF file for the mac challenged among us.
