<snipped from warp-net> WAP100 is now available from Warpmart. The special limited clear vinyl version is WAP100P. Please remember that the clear vinyl is just the first four tracks on one 12". The full release is a triple 12" pack or a CD. -/\= Hess M. Hodge ~/\ hess.hodge@colorado.edu (/\) <no homepage at this time>

Well, I haven't seen the commercial verison to compare. But the promo one comes in a little plastic sleeve with a lime green sticker that wraps around one edge. It says "wap100 promo" on one side and has the track listing on the other. The disc itself is the same sort of green and has a similar design to the old purple label that a lot of the early WAPs had. And if you're a *serious* 'spotter, you'll want to know that the actual matrix number on the disc (i.e. the one burnt into the disc around the inner ring) is WAP100CDP, so they've done a pressing specifically for promos.

Nice to see that we all get a mention in that large greetings list :) Idm-content: Ed from DMX told me that Aphex has a new single coming out soonish and that Tom J has moved to Sheffield apparently... -- Ben Coffer http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

And why wouldn't he move to the Rome of the North? Maybe he's after drinkable tap water. You can hear the Sheffield influence on his new album - it's Human League meets Def Leppard, expressed on the fretless bass, whilst Martin Fry looks on with an upturned eyebrow. Or not. adam

What does that refer to? Is there a reference to US, the IDM list? Those of use who called Warp UNreasonable People :-) I *

Well, i haven't posted in months, so i guess i'll load this belated post with lots of questions, since i feel i'm out of the loop now(and always have been). Recently discovered that warp material outside of squarepusher and autechre's "Tri Rep" was to my liking(well, some of it). So i bought the WAP100 cd, what better way to become more aquainted with their material? So, here come the questions: Boards of Canada: #1- What is the significance of their name? #2- Is the song on WAP100 indicative of their style? Its a gorgeous song...or are they usually more "bleepy" than "ambient"? Broadcast: Never heard of them...really cool track...VERY Pink Floyd. Jimi Tenor: Groovy, weird song with a hilarious vocal sample of some guy saying "I eat dollar hot dogs...like i wear my bikini"(i think that's what it says)...is THIS song indicative of Jimi's style? I like. Autechre: Well, here's the thing. I think Tri Rep is just about the best electronica album i own. I also think that Evane is excellent. What i can't stand, is the songs they do that are "bleepy". Like the one on WAP100. What can i expect from Chiastic in terms of this style, and also the new one? I don't want to blow 30 bucks(stinking imports!) if its not going to be to my liking. I'm just not an ultra-bleepy kind of guy, even though i can appreciate the talent and intricacies of such songs when they are done well. I like smooth and melodious more. Or crunchy with heavy beats. But the closer it gets to listening to an 80's video game, the less i like it. Ah well. I guess that's it for now...sorry for all the questions...just trying to gain some knowledge about this legendary record label! Later!
