Warp 20th Anniversary


Prefuse 73, Vocal Studies & Uprock Narratives (Warp, 2001)

The groundbreaking indie label is asking fans to nominate tracks with the biggest Warp factor for a compilation album By Sean Michaels

"The British label Warp Records is to celebrate its second decade with a series of special gigs, previously unreleased archive material and an appealingly democratic compilation CD. They have already invited votes for Warp 20, a celebratory "greatest hits" album that will be co-curated by the public. By logging into the website, fans can vote for their favourite Warp tracks - everyone from Aphex Twin to Grizzly Bear. On 8 May, voting will be closed and the 10 favourite songs of the great unwashed will be combined with 10 picks by Warp co-founder Steve Beckett. Users' comments, memories and messages will be printed as part of the album art." [Guardian UK]

  1. It's absolutely impossible to boil Warp down to 10 great tracks. But we can try! I reckon Windowlicker will win.
