My first experience with Warp was Tri Repetae(++). I bought it circa '96
when it came out. I was turned on to it by MTV of all sources (and American
MTV at that). I saw the video for "Second Bad Vibel" late one night and was
totally ripped apart by it. I didn't know what to think of it; it was a
very bizarre moment for me because up to that point, the only electronic
music I was familiar with was traditional electronic "dance" music. I
bought the cd locally. I was surprised that I found it because I'm from a
small town, and the more obscure artists usually never found their way to
our shelves. I listened to the cd often, but I never really understood it
until a year or two later. I think it takes a strong backbone in more of
the A.I. type stuff before you begin to appreciate most of Autechre's more
recent work. In the proceeding months I began to pay a lot of attention to
ambient music. This found me gems like Amber and SAW2. From there I began
to listen to a lot of AFX, Plaid, and the rest of the Warp roster, and then
on to more obscure labels of the sort. And here I am. Anyways, Warp has
put forth a legacy, and I believe this legacy has greatly influenced the way
electronic music operates in the industry today. I have no doubt that
remaining Warp heroes and heroines will continue this legacy full throttle.
