Warp Records is dead in France ?

Warp Is Dead

You might not know it but I was among the first people to write about Warp Records on the world wide web, more than 15 years ago. You might not know it either but when the label launched their digital store Bleep.com, I was the beta-tester for France. But you haven't read much about Warp Records in those pages during the last years. The reason is simple: the label launched a french department and since then it's hell.

Gonjasufi The Caliph Tea Party
Gonjasufi - The Caliph's Tea Party
(CD/LP/Digital) Warp Records WARPCD206/WARPLP206, 2010-10-04
