Actually dude - the Analord series was released on
Rephlex so nevermind warp-centric-ness. You wanna pick
a bone try Skam. Those fuckers own the game. How many
of you scored their latest super limited
sold-out-the-day-it-was-released cd?
Warp has released a shit-ton of great music in the
past couple years not to mention the past decade.
For those outside the confines of our limited IDM
distribution circle, Warp would be the first and most
easily accesible label to get introduced to
experimental electronic music. I say thank god for
Warp, great marketing, great artists, and great
exposure!
With that said - the recent Staticbeats webcast update
that I just posted with 100 albums contains all of 7
Warp releases so I agree that Aphex is only one of a
hundred brilliant electronic musicians.
chowza!
