not really. it was run by the same guys that run warp, that's about
all. the two labels have nothing else in common musically or
otherwise.

gift is nonfunctional. we do not glory (ho ho) in the past.

not any more. this is the danger of releasing info early. things
change. and then people start to wonder why... :)

yes brilliant. likesay we will be adding relevant information onto the
discography as and when we have the time. in a bizarre way my original
warp discography started way back in '92/'93 whenever it was is the
reason I work for warp now so I will not forget it but I have other
priorities now (fortunately).

*sharpintakeofbreath* what you mean you don't advance order every warp
release? :) yes this is an area I have being trying to address for
some time unfortunately the limitedness of releases is not always easy
to ascertain (see above).

I am well capable of satiating a trainspotter *koff koff* (bizarrely -
chatting with CiM today we decided that although we though we were
pretty anal in our day we have nothing on people like Gonzi (not to
encourage you mate at all) nowadays) but the majority of people (which
is not the IDM list) do not give a shit about track times so
trainspotters have to wait.

sorry I don't get the 'in-joke' bit. DR/Warp have never really been in
to in jokes. if anything we're out-joke people. is the blech CD cover
an in-joke?

a bit like the warp shop used to be then ;) this is definitely not
what warp is about we all hate that sort of thing.
we are reasonable people.
