I'm getting kinda nerdy here, but did they say anything about what
MIDI-software they are using?
Because many of their recent 'tunes' have a rather "algorithmic composition"
feel to them -- check out track 2 on Cichlie Suite for a to the point example
-- and I've been suspecting that they might have gotten their hands on
something like Opcode Max...or perhaps the old favourite "M"?

WARP has sort of lost my respect during the last couple of years, because they
seem to be playing it very safe with regards to "breaking"/releasing new
artists. They release stuff that is almost guaranteed to sell (Plaid, Autechre,
Aphex Twin, Squarepusher -- the big four at Warp), and seldom seem to take too
many chances. In other words: They have become semi-corporate.
Don't get me wrong -- I love most things done by Autechre (and bits'n'pieces
from Aphex) -- but I would like to see WARP do something very different for a
change (like with Red Snapper; not that they're particularly great, but at
least no one saw it coming!).
