While it often takes Nothing a long time to get stuff out over here (i.e.
Plug), I will give them credit for the fact that they've been good about
offering stuff like the Plug bonus disc or MBM's "Original Fire" which
included some exclusive & rare stuff. Don't be surprised if both
"Chiastic Slide" and "Hard Normal Daddy" come with bonus discs of related
material ("Envane"+"C.Suite" with Ae, "Vic Acid"+"Big Loada" with
'pusher).

these squarepusher/autechre trx aren't exactly rarities or hard to get, but
if nothing do get their hands on something that falls into either category
and forces me to consider buying a dbl cd fer a couple o' tracks that i
don't already have (a la plug) almost 18 months later, i won't exactly be
dancing for joy. maybe. bastards (in anticipation of just such a thing
happening).

ideally warp would go the ninja route, and just release everything in the
us simultaneously and attractively priced, and just remove the dilemma.
when ninja had the instinct arrangement y'had to around 6 months but then
got some nifty cheap dbl cds like those earthrise comps and funki porcini's
"hed pone sex", where i preferred the more up-tempo companion cd to the
original disc (likewise plug actually). but at least w/ instinct you didn't
get the empire collapsing pauses before they got around to putting the
thing out. is nothing positioning itself as a golden oldies label?

-btw-
i know all about the exploding plastic inevitable/andy warhol/velvets
thing, i just wasn't sure if holmes's label had exactly the same name, and
not something like exploding plastic pineapple. sorry i started this one.
