you'll denounce me for my taste in britpop.

Shitpop more like. At that time, the best stuff was coming out of Scotland. Mogwai, Aerogramme, Arab Strap, Slam, that whole Chemikal Underground scene...
As I remember Mogwai saying about Blur and their fans- cunts in tight Adidas t shirts.
The Dozist concurs.

ditto Air, Sigur Ros, Nightmares on Wax etc.
But I also like Britpop.

Smokers Delight = classic. One of the least Warp records during Warp's golden years.

Boards of Canada are alright, although have to be in the mood for, GYBE less so.

I was obsessed with Warp for a long time. Autechre's early work is a must hear as well.
I'm impressed Bobby.

Warp hit their peak around 2002 though. But Aphex, Squarepusher, Plone, Plaid, BoC, Two Lone Swordsmen, Red Snapper, Autechre, NoW, Sabres of Paradise...only Mo Wax come close.

Didn't like Two Lone Swordsman, but Aphex Twin, Autechre, B12, Plaid and the like are good

From the Double Gone Chapel and onward is post punk. You've gotta love Weatherall though, regardless.

I remember when Come On Die Young came out. I remember loving it deeply and being astounded by the mixed reaction to it.
I still stand by my view that it is Mogwai at their finest- it took what they were doing with single tracks and translated it to the album context. Breathtaking maturity for a bunch of 21 year old metalheads.
That whole section from May Nothing But Happiness...through to Xmas Steps. Unbeatable.

but I heart Friends of the Night and Auto Rock so very, very much.

I rushed into Cardiff to get Rock Action when it came out, got home and was devastated. Of the recent stuff, I loved Zidane and liked The Hawk is Howling. They've been dull for a fair few years now.
