I heard the WAP100 song and it didn't really fit that description. I think
the site said that the "bundle of energy on drums proved you could play live
d&b." If anyone can verify or discount this it would be appreciated.

lame warp attempt at cashing in on DnB's mass acceptance. =20
uh, colour me stupid, but i think red snapper have been at warp
since before d'n'b was "accepted by the masses," ie reeled and skinned is
from.... a few years ago, anyway.=20
what's the deal with all the warp-bashing lately? Yeah, so they had
the Ae mp3s taken down. So not all of their releases have been superb
lately. At least they haven't signed the Crystal Method. It's not like
they're producing mass amounts of shit. wap100 wasn't a total loss, the new
Ae is great, the new Red Snapper is great, BoC is... well, i think it's
great. They're supposed to be co-releasing a Bola album with Skam, a new
sqyarepusher is coming soon, and all I hear is "Warp is lame." "Blah blah
warp blah blah sucks." Oy, I don't get it.
