DR doesn't do all the Warp releases; they've just done a few. The one that pisses me off the most is the three volume tenth anniversary series -- classics, influences and remixes (especially the remixes). Also: Funkstoring, Additional Productions. Schematic's Ischemic Folks. All suffer from the same problem: the most useful information is totally buried and nearly illegible. They've done some brilliant design, as well (Towa Tei), and if I didn't have a radio show where I needed to find the information fairly quickly and accurately, this probably wouldn't peeve me as much as it does (and it is a simple peeve, nothing more); but as a fan of design and the beauty of well executed graphics, it's hard for me to stomach.
