Haven't brought out these in a while, but I listened to them a lot a couple of years ago.

Gave the Boards cd to an exgirlfriend, though.
 
I haven't gotten anything of Warp in yearssssssss. But I remember getting sent a white label test press for Nightmares On Wax - Dextrous and later LFO - LFO and then picking up the released copies later.
 
Can't go wrong w/ Elektroids, Ultradyne, Drexciya, and LFO. Luke Vibert is classic as well. Besides, they were/are a gateway label for electronic music.
A++++ LABEL WOULD BUY AGAIN
 
there was this big record show in toronto about a month ago... and of all the sellers pawning their psychjazzfunksoul rares, I came home amped mostly about some dude who was on Warp's distribution list in the 90s and had all the early Warp Promo 12s for 10 bucks. Filled a few holes in my collection... i love warp
 
my favourites:

squarepusher - hard normal daddy
now - smokers delight / carboot soul
aphex twin - richard d james, I care because you do and selected ambient works 2
autechre - amber, incunabula, tri repetae
two lone swordsmen - stay down
boards of canady - music has the right and the twoism re-release

I love to listen to these autechre LPs from time to time. Smokers delight is one of the best downtempo LPs of all time. aphex twin simply kicks ass.
I also liked their 4LP best of/ influences and remix packages

warp released a lot of crap in recent years though.
 
pardon me, but what is all this shit? 90's electronica/hipster music? (please excuse my ignorance if this isn't the case)

pardon me, but what is all this shit? 90's electronica/hipster music? (please excuse my ignorance if this isn't the case)
Not exactly. It's more along the lines of 'really good electronic music' than 'hipster shit'. If you're not familiar w/ some of these names, you might be doing yourself a disservice.
 
Luke Vibert
Not a big fan of a lot of his Wagon Christ stuff, but Plug wasd dope and the Big Soup album was great, lots of cutty samples... Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy has cool shit on it, That RDJ Bucephelous (sp?) Bouncing Ball track is crazy. I used to get with some of this stuff. I still have a lot of it on wax. Been a while since I fucked with it though. Another good one, not on Warp, but similar, is The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination, that 14 Junk Classics album, or whatever it's called, cool "jazz jungle" ish and even a squarepusher diss. At least I always thought it was a diss, he redoes that track Come On My Selector, and the manner in which he does it is almost to say "yeah, I can do shit like that too", but it wasn't nearly as good as the SP version. By the way, here is the awesome video for Squarepusher's Come On My Selector, I always thought this shit was cool:
