Eh? why would they? I license warp tracks to any company that can
cough up. if they want to put out crap compilations and 99% of them
are laughably poor then that's their problem. at least they'll have
one decent track on them and both us and our artist are better off.
having a top warp track surrounded by shit doesn't in anyway devalue
the warp track. the music doesn't change. :)

No absolutely not, in the same way that people shouldn't distribute
bootleg aphex cassettesssss. oops. couldn't resist. all the warp stuff
on that tape apart from the HAB stuff is still available on cd btw.
