yes. 'V' and 'Various Vegetables'. warp-net is a warp site not a gift site. I believe their is a gift dicog floating around somewhere, why don't you find it.

i think it's unlikely, but who knows and more to the point cares. sales don't affect the music on a record. which is not to say the reverse is not true.

erm, there is no content there yet so it is not surprising.

the site puter togetherer decided no one in the real world would be anal enough to want all those details. we will probably put up release dates but I have never really figured out a use for track times.

probably the hundreds of people who say they like it. content is something I will be building up over the next few months/years these things don't happen overnight I probably devote <2% of my work time to it at the moment. things to expect over the next few months are a working live chat by end of next week, lot's of sound, news, artist contributions, a threaded message post so it will be useful etc etc. we are planning to have full details and samples of each new release up on the site a week before the release date. g.
