Trans Canada Highway
Tip! *2024 stock* Quality control has never been much of a problem for Boards of Canada. The duo has magnified its legacy at least partly by indulging in generous spells of inactivity. The infrequency of BoC's output has not only fed into the mythos of their carefully cultivated brand, it's also engendered a level of trust that's served as a consolatory point of pride for fans who've felt shut out by the duo's otherwise total remove from the peripheral obligations (live shows, videos, interviews…
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
*2024 stock* In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released by Warp and music70 on 27 November 2000, in the period between the duo's albums Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi. The four-track collection centers around the theme of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats "come out and live …
Tomorrow's Harvest
*2024 stock* "After all the intrigue, hidden codes on 12" records that went on to sell for astronomical amounts of money on eBay, adverts on Cartoon Network, a song played at a Tokyo intersection, and other covert shenanigans that made the Daft Punk teaser campaign look prosaic, here I am, in the Warp offices in North West London, signing a disclaimer ahead of an exclusive listen to the new Boards Of Canada album, Tomorrow's Harvest. It's a fitting way to listen to a record by a band whose obses…
Draft 7.30
*2024 stock* "Draft 7.30 is the seventh album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 April 2003 by Warp Records. Around the time of the album's release, Sean Booth stated in an interview that "[rhythm] doesn't seem to limit us in the way it did when we first started"." - Wikipedia
Confield
*2024 stock* "With Confield, Sean Booth and Rob Brown largely abandoned the warm ambient sounds of their earlier works such as Amber and Tri Repetae in favour of more chaotic and abstract sound palettes and methods of composition that they had been pursuing with LP5, EP7, and Peel Session 2. Confield saw the experimental use of computer programs, specifically Max/MSP, to form the basis of songs instead of stand-alone synthesizers. According to Booth, "Most of Confield came out of experiments wit…
Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Pt. 2
Tip! *2024 stock* Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2 is the ninth EP by the British electronic musician Richard D James. It was released under the pseudonym Aphex Twin on 23 January 2015 on Warp. It is meant as a companion piece to his fifth studio album, Drukqs (2001).
Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / In A Room7 F760
With his first widely available new material in 5 years, Aphex Twin returns with an intricate and melodic addition to his discography. The machines co-opted in production are as complex as the Weirdcore artwork, layering signature sombre ambient chords with intricate drum programming. ‘Blackbox Life Recorder 21f’ marks Aphex Twin’s official and celebrated return to augment our current reality.
Geogaddi
Tip! "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…
Small Craft on a Milk Sea
** Box-set edition ** If you were to dig through a random neighbor's record collection, chances are you'd come across something with Brian Eno's fingerprints on it. Maybe massive-selling offerings by Coldplay or U2, the still commercially viable art-rock of The Talking Heads and Devo — or, if your neighbor is anything like a TMT reader, perhaps there are a few Roxy Music albums, the Eno-curated No New York no-wave compilation, Bowie's Krautrock-leaning "Berlin Trilogy," or My Life in the Bush of…
Incunabula
Incunabula, the debut full-length offering from Autechre finally made available again on vinyl, having been out of print on vinyl since 2001.
LP5
* 2 x LP in die cut card inner sleeves, in wide spine outer sleeve with thumb cut and embossed cover. Postcard sticker insert plus download card insert. * The untitled fifth studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre was released in 1998 by Warp. No title was printed anywhere within the artwork, so it is commonly referred to as LP5, in line with the later EP EP7; it has also been called Autechre, as well as Album, as listed on promotional copies Landing in 1998 between the endlessly…
Chiastic Slide
Marking their fourth studio album, Chiastic Slide saw Autechre exploring dark, glitched-out sonics, harsh sounds, and mechanical rhythms. Chiastic Slide - the glitch blueprint - endlessly imitated, deconstructed and worshipped, now a quarter of a century old and still capable of shaping the narrative. We’ve said it before, but the period that followed Chiastic Slide was a weird one in electronic music, there were just no other records that shaped IDM in quite the same way. This rubs people the…
Tri Repetae
Tri Repetae (stylised as tri repetae.) is the third studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 6 November 1995 by Warp in the United Kingdom. The album was released on 16 March 1996[1] by Wax Trax! Records and TVT Records in the United States as a two-disc set named Tri Repetae++, which included the Garbage and Anvil Vapre EPs constituting the second CD. In Japan, it was released with the bonus track "Medrey".
In contrast to the duo's previous albums, Incunabula (1993) an…
When
* Deluxe Hardbound Edition. 2021 stock * Bit of a forgotten classic this one; the 2001 Warp debut from maverick film-maker, producer, actor and musician Vincent Gallo, who defied expectations by releasing this set of hugely memorable, beautifully produced and evergreen songs for the electronic label of choice back at the turn of the century. The notion of it alone was oddly captivating at the time, Gallo had past musical form as part of cult New York band Gray alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat and…

Gatefold 2LP reissue. Unavailable on any format for far too long. Includes download code for the album and a bonus live set. Autechre's classic second album from 1994, reissued for the first time in 15 years... At bleeding’ last, Warp reissue one of their rarest gems, which Autechre themselves have referred to as conceiving as their “Warp record” - written to complement the label’s early ‘90s ambient/AI catalogue. Depending your perspective, Amber is quite possibly the most beautiful Autechre …

Following the lead of ‘Elseq’, here they also favour longer track lengths, giving room …
Lux
'Lux' is Brian Eno's first solo album for Warp Records and his first solo album since 2005's 'Another Day On Earth'. It's an absorbing 75 minutes of slow moving, glassy harmonics, plangent piano keys and evaporating strings, all bathed in reverb and allowed to serenely waft about the space with a seemingly aleatoric logic. The album breaks down to four long sections, yet in the classic tradition of Eno's finest ambient works, once you've settled into its pace and space it becomes hard to tell wh…
