Seems strange to me. Envane has 4 tracks - all of which are quite beautiful,
yet IMHO most hard to conceive tracks Ae made.
Anvil Vapre has 4 tracks and each is a masterpiece I could freely compare to
Tri Repetae. Garbage has 4 tracks as well and all of them are exceptional as
well. I don't see any reason to complain! They put quality EPs which are
rather long 30-45 mins! Of course, I mean CD versions and maybe vinyl ones
are shorter but that's only another reason to blame vinyl not Warp. 8)

I'd love Warp only for hosting Ae. That's not to mention other high quality
stuff they've been releasing for 10 years.

No offense. No sarcasm.

Alien

np. Kino "Blood Group"
