Who gives a flying shit if the acts are IDM or not. Warp just put out 
music that, at the time, they really like. So yeah, I'm agreeing with 
you there.

Hmm? Again - they put out music they like. It doesn't have to be 
innovative necessarily. Sympletic? Beltram? All good stuff.

I was going to write something about how theoretically it might be 
possible to have 100 fine releases but that time can be unkind to music

sound outdated in a few years. But then I remembered Kid Unknowns _A 
Nightmare Walking_.
