Yo Peeps,
I got Geogaddi today, and, frankly, my opinion is my own and I
can't be bothered with THAT debate.
However, I was a touch miffed at shelling out twenty pounds for a lavishly
packaged triple vinyl set, one side of which is just an etched picture. I
feel they could easily have squished it onto two records (possibly at the
expense of some of the more dispensible short tracks, although it's just my
view that they're dispensible yadayadayada). After the lifesize surfboard
that was 'Drukqs' on vinyl, it seems to me that Warp are edging towards the
sliperry slope of Mo' Wax-isation.
Does anyone remember the period they had when they were just releasing
preposterous, humungous feats of architecture for covers e.g. Money Mark's
second lp and that fucking ace Divine Styler album that I paid a small
fortune for, which respectively featured a spinning kaliedoscope type thing
and a cover that turned into a huge oregami pyramid? Now THERE was a good
reason not to do coke, especially if you ran a record label!
Anyhoo, it's all just a little too much expense for too superfluous a result
if you ask me. You didn't, of course.
