Summary: FINALLY!!!
Review: Finally, a way to see some of the weirdest music videos EVER made. Not just the Chris Cunningham videos (including the original of Autechre's 'Second Bad Vilbel' not the [superior] re-edited version on his DVD) but also WEIRD videos for the likes of LFO, Plaid, Antipop Consortium, Squarepusher, Autechre and, of course, Aphex Twin... They're not all good... but the great ones might qualify as some of the best music videos ever made (and with 32 videos, it's hard to be spot-on all the time). It's also a great way to hear some new and old electronic music.
the extra CD is OK too.

Review: i didnt give it five stars for the lame nannou video, and also after having seen the mindblowing work of michel gondry, its hard to match his videos...WINDOWLICKER IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. WHO THE HELL IS THIS GENIUS JOHN CALLAGHAN AND WHY DOESNT HE HAVE ANY CD'S I CAN BUY? this is a wonderful collection of videos, it is reassurance that there is more to sound and vision than MTV. god bless warp records.

Summary: Eh its ok
Review: if I had not already purchased the Chris Cunningham dvd I think I would of enjoyed this dvd more. Some of the music here was really bad like Antipop Consortium and that really lame Bean video where hes in a forest with his bad sweater and ugly trucker hat. Granted some of these are dated back in the 90s the videos are really low tech and experimental which is cool but for the most part, the music is so so or downright weird adn bad. Of course autechre, aphex twin and squarepusher are amazing I just wish some of the videos would be better (donkey rhubarb...the one with the stuffed animals). James Lidell is weird and so is Jimi Tenor. The John Callaghan really sucked but the video has a cool idea. LFO is nice I like their newer stuff. But basically I think the only thing worth viewing here is Autechre, LFO, any chris cunningham, and Broadcast.If you bought Chris Cunningham don't buy this you might feel jipped

Summary: Everything, Everything (from Warp)
Review: 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. The opening video, "Test One" by Sweet Excorcist, is so bad it's actually kind of funny. Autechre's "Gantz Graf," on the other hand is a visually stunning work that perfectly embodies the music. Chris Cunningham's directorial work frankly puts many of the other directors on this disc to shame.

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.
