Talk:Warp (record label)

message: I changed the title of the section, not sure what to do about splitting the list up, and whether we should attempt to make it a complete list of artists on warp? Is adding a note to some artists in the lists considered alright, or is that avoided?
apologies, I'm new to wikipedia, and still haven't got the hang of the formatting etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by E Ghost (talk • contribs) 19:31, October 27, 2006  (UTC)
:Adding a note in parenthesis would be fine, but I would probably just go for two lists.  Don't worry too much about formatting, just go with what works.  The style guidelines are there for reference, but it's better that to just do it than worry too much about formatting!  Thanks again.  ∴ here…♠ 00:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  artists list 

message: removing this uncited 'Trivia' section for now:
Thom Yorke listened heavily to Warp records during Radiohead's Kid A/Amnesiac sessions.  He credits Warp artists such as Autechre and Boards of Canada with inspiring the moody electronic feel of those albums. Reportedly he also owns copies of the entire Warp Records catalogue.

replies: text: I agree, but I also can't complain.  The last line of the second paragraph is pretty funny.  I wonder who wrote it.12.24.60.12 (talk) 23:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: non-NPOV

message: 1. does anyone have a resource (like an interview, for example) on why warp has been focusing so much on rock and generally non-electronic music in the last few years?
2. also, does anyone know what's the status of the spectral musicians project? here's my info on it (hyperlinks here: http://howisya.tripod.com/f2k.html). granted, it's outdated, as the "rubber johnny" dvd single was released a few years back, but can it safely be assumed that the rest of the dvd is cancelled?
Not to be confused with the recently announced DVD Warp Vision: The Videos 1989-2004 (due 9/21/04 and featuring who and what you'd expect), Chris Cunningham is "making a DVD album for Warp of film and music. There are going to be around 12 to 14 pieces. Three are collaborations with Aphex Twin and Squarepusher." The Drukqs full clip to be included as well (this is Rubber Johnny)! According to the Director File site, Spectral Musicians was "a short film commissioned August 2001" so that's likely to be included, too, given the title. Everything is finished on the DVD now and it should be available "in a few months." The Squarepusher Billboard article says Cunningham is set to make a film based on Squarepusher's music, perhaps this DVD is actually what the writer meant or perhaps it's something else entirely. Variety.com also calls this a "DVD Concept Album" and the first DVD-single will in fact be "Rubber Johnny" (the infamous Drukqs "full clip," judging by the trailer on Cunningham's Director Series DVD). "It has been sold to the Sundance Channel in the U.S. Chris also wishes to expand it into its own 10-part TV series. The only story detail: It is about a kid with a mean dog, shot in the style of an underground comic" (source). Also, suddenly the project is not 12-14 pieces but just "eight short films with a strong musical element, some of it composed by Cunningham" (Variety). Variety more recently reported that it is just a Warp Films DVD single for now (though Cunningham still aims to expland it into a 10-part TV series). The good news is that it is indeed scored by Aphex Twin though there is no mention of a soundtrack release. This begs the old question if Aphex Twin is or ever has been the recording artist Rubber Johnny (I say yes). After a long silence, in early 2005 a release date for Rubber Johnny--which is now described as "a 6-minute 10-second abstract short, featuring 'afx237 v.7'" (i.e. the music video they did in 2001 and nothing else)--as well as more information on Spectral Musicians were announced on Cunningham's site. The latter is now also a "short," disappointing after a near four year wait, and all the music but the Aphex/Squarepusher collaborations will be Cunningham's own. After years without any word on the project, someone on IMDB said, "His squarepusher project was cancelled by him! he thought he went over board with the material, and that it was inappropriate. [...]And if anyone was wondering what the Squarepusher project was, it was about a little boy being put together on an assembly line of sorts like a robot, that's all he would release... once again, his inappropriate comment is quite ludicrous... HE DID FLEX AND RUBBER JOHNNY!"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.185.5.254 (talk) 14:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
