Various - Warp20 (Unheard)

Review by alex_snax

Back in Sheffield it’s 1989 and Warp(ed) records is open for business. Have you heard?»

Buy now from:

an eleven track collection of secret treasures rediscovered from the warp vaults. unreleased songs by boards of canada, autechre, broadcast, plaid, nightmares on wax, flying lotus and many more. these songs dating from right across warp's 20 year history have never been released digitally, only previously appearing on vinyl recently as part of the 100 pound 'warp20 (box set)'. warp have been inundated with requests from fans for a digital release and here it is, re-sequenced especially for this format. the unheard and rare pieces include boards of canada's near-mythical 'seven forty seven', the first music mike and marcus have let out since 2006's 'trans canada highway'. also included is pre-'incunabula' era autechre, broadcast (a cover of nico's 'sixty forty', performed for a john peel session) and nightmares on wax (dj e.a.s.e. and boy wonder productions from the time of 'dextrous') and elecktroids, amongst others.
