Hello. Does anyone out there know what became of Warp's sister label? As far as I can remember, it started up some 3/4 years ago, with the intention of doing to the indie/guitar-based music scene what Warp did to techno/ambient. They only seemed to release a few bits and pieces before disappearing as quickly as they'd arrived. I forget the name of the label (although I'm sure it began with a "G"), but it all sounded quite interesting. I wonder if any of these releases will be available via WarpMart? .+'''+. mark@sonance.demon.co.uk M A R K http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/sonance/ `+.,.+' http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/

If my memory serves me well, Gift was active around 1992-93. Again, trying to remember off the top of my head, they released stuff by local bands V, Newspeak, Various Vegetables and, of course, Pulp. I've never heard owt by the first 3 bands, but the 3 Pulp singles they released ('O.U.', 'Babies' and 'Razzmatazz') are among my all-time favourites. Although Gift now appears to be sleeping, if not dead, they deserve big shouts for releasing these gems and playing a part in getting Pulp signed to Island where they've gone on to become spangly-future-pop-disco megastars. Jarvis Cocker's played his part in Warp history too, having directed an Aphex Twin vid ('On' I think). Without Gift, he'd probably never have been in a position to waggle his arse at Michael Jackson. I can no longer imagine a world without him. Want to know what being a teenager in eighties Sheffield was all about? Probably not, but on the off-chance that you've always wondered, listen to Pulp. Ta Gift. Damon. Damon.Fairclough@psygnosis.co.uk
