What are your favorites over the past twenty years?

Antipop Consortium, Born Ruffians and Boards Of Canada are among my favorites, but it seems for every one band that I like signed to warp there are at least three that I cannot stand.

My absolute favourite Warp artist is Aphex Twin.

Also love Boards Of Canada & Autechre. To be honest, I get confused between who is signed to Warp, Planet Mu, SKAM, etc.

Top ones for me:

Aphex Twin
Autechre
Clark/Chris Clark
Plaid
Prefuse 73
Squarepusher

Others I enjoy:

Antipop Consortium
Boards of Canada
Two Lone Swordsmen

There are others I enjoy to a lesser extent, or have only had one or two releases on Warp and just aren't as established with the label, etc.

that pretty much sums up my attitude towards that label (although it's a better ratio than a lot of others hehe).

i'll always have a spot in my collection for aphex twin, squarepusher, and boards of canada. aside from the antipop consortium i find the bulk of their roster sounds a bit too derivative of those 3 key artists, none of the other acts have ever really grabbed me.

Can't say much about Bored Of Canada but I have had, and always will have, a spot for Aphex and Squarepusher.
Haven't really kept up with the label since the late 90's, so I don't know what's new with them, but happy birthday nonetheless.
