Am I the only one who believes Warp's notoriety came from putting out
more dance-friendly records than IDM? The Black Dog catalog, the LFO
catalog, Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92', Polygon Window's
'Surfing on Sine Waves', the original 'Artificial Intelligence'
compilation, Speedy J's 'Ginger', etc. These are the releases that
defined Warp.
When the whole IDM craze happened and was defined, I thought that's
when much of Warp's lackluster records were coming out. Especially
since Planet Mu, Rephlex, Skam, etc. were already getting a massive
amount of attention (and deservedly so) by putting out so many great
records in such a short span of time.
In my opinion, it's been a departure that's been going on for a while
now and there have been many great releases (both of Gallo's releases
immediately come to mind).
Oh well
