I'm getting kinda nerdy here, but did they say anything about what MIDI-software they are using? Because many of their recent 'tunes' have a rather "algorithmic composition" feel to them -- check out track 2 on Cichlie Suite for a to the point example -- and I've been suspecting that they might have gotten their hands on something like Opcode Max...or perhaps the old favourite "M"? > (On Warp records) > really, but in Warp's case we can almost make an exception -- instant > respect." WARP has sort of lost my respect during the last couple of years, because they seem to be playing it very safe with regards to "breaking"/releasing new artists. They release stuff that is almost guaranteed to sell (Plaid, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher -- the big four at Warp), and seldom seem to take too many chances. In other words: They have become semi-corporate. Don't get me wrong -- I love most things done by Autechre (and bits'n'pieces from Aphex) -- but I would like to see WARP do something very different for a change (like with Red Snapper; not that they're particularly great, but at least no one saw it coming!). /Oeivind/
