	Warp Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warp Records is a pioneering independent UK record label, founded in Sheffield in 1989, notable for discovering some of the most enduring artists in electronic music.
		Warp went on to release a series of singles and albums from 1992 under the Artificial Intelligence heading, a series of experimental electronic music releases by artists such as Aphex Twin (as Diceman and later Polygon Window), Autechre, the Black Dog, Richie Hawtin and Alex Paterson (later of the Orb).
		Since then the label has evolved, and later artists were a similarly eclectic group, and included the influential DJ Andrew Weatherall (as Sabres of Paradise and later as Two Lone Swordsmen), the live sensation Red Snapper and experimental hip-hop group Antipop Consortium.

		Warp Films was set up from the Warp Records company, a successful leftfield music brand whose fan base includes artists such as Radiohead, Bjork and Beck.
		Warp Films believes this will pave the way for a new generation of visual entertainment with short films, shot on digital video as opposed to 35mm, being broadcast on the internet.
		Currently, film and television tend to be presented in certain formats - the blockbuster film or the one-hour television show, for example.

	Amazon.co.uk: Warp Vision - The Videos 1989 To 2004: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Warp have to be the most consistently innovative and interesting record label in Britain, if not the world.
		Warp videos by the likes of Alex Rutterford (for Autechre) and Chris Cunningham (for Aphex Twin) have changed the way in which media - from "the pop video" and advertising, right through to the television news - is presented, in exactly the same way as the musicians have changed the sound of mass-consumption music.
		The influence that these short films have had on popular culture is quite incredible: a visit to the cinema in time to see the advertising reel will convince of the way in which visuals AND music aimed at the general public have been influenced by these essentially underground artists.

	Director File ·· Chris Cunningham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Yet he has only published three short films since 2000: flex, Monkey Drummer, and Rubber Johnny in 2005.
		Cunningham is currently signed with Warp Records' new Warp Films division to create short films.
		His films' overall effect derive from the concentration on subtleties: be it erasing snot bubbles from Beth Gibbons' nose, perfecting the look and design of Mean Machine, hyper-actively editing "Come On My Selector," or placing Fi-Fi in a flourescent-lit room.

		Mark Herbert, the film’s producer and founder of Warp Films, collected the award, while Morris, inevitably, didn’t show up to thank the Academy or God.
		Warp Films, an offshoot of Warp Records, was given the go-ahead in October 2001, pledging to mirror the label’s artist-led production and head up the next generation of cutting edge cult films.
		Warp had already been responsible for the hugely successful Chris Cunningham/Aphex Twin promos, Come To Daddy and Windowlicker, outstanding short films in their own right which were released as retail videos and sold 90,000 copies between them.

		Warp have constantly strived to subvert the norm in music--signing acts such as Boards of Canada and the mad yet beautiful music of Aphex Twin--and so Morris has been able to lay a superb soundtrack over the top of his film.
		I was quite worried though, because some of the Blue Jam sketches that had been filmed for Jam weren't as good as their radio versions (in particular the Fix-it Girl sketch, hilarious on the radio, was abysmal on telly).
		I think that after all of his ingenious comedy he is trying to diversify abd produce a sort of arthouse 'Warp Films' piece, however it comes over a pretentious, my view of most arthouse films.

		The next logical step, with the recently released retrospective Warp Vision DVD currently collating the cream of their music videos, was Warp Films.
		And as film production becomes increasingly financially realistic to the masses, thanks to perpetual advances in computer software paired against ever-falling prices, Beckett feels there's a fertile talent stockpile that can finally be harnessed.
		While discovering fresh new talent is often an active process involving film companies chasing their dream collaborators, Warp already knew many directors and avant-garde filmmakers from their decade and a half as a record label.

		Set in a dank basement-like room and shot in grainy-green night vision, it's an all-out audiovisual assault in which a shape-shifting mutant child in a wheelchair throws the mother of all fits.
		Unlike the film's fast, grainy images, these are flatly, brightly lit with an objective feel, like something out of a medical textbook: 'In my mind they were photos of [the character] as a baby,' Cunningham explains, 'being photographed in hospital and changing shape each time they took a photograph.' Hardly every mother's dream.
		This Is England' is due to shoot in September and talks are underway with Lynne Ramsay, for whose 'Morvern Callar' Warp produced the soundtrack.

		Warp Vision compiles all of Warp Records' video releases from 1989 to 2004.
		Inasmuch as this time period tracks Warp's history from being a small, struggling label through its growth into a good-sized (but still independent) record company, you can expect the quality of the videos to range from cheap (and often cheasy) to highly professional works of art.
		In sum, I would say that devotees of Warp Records' output will be delighted to have a such a comprehensive collection "from the vaults." However, music fans with only a passing interest in electronica will likely be disappointed by the low-budget offerings at the start of this disc.
