*1998 · Warp · No. 3 in [IDM](https://waxonia.com/genre/idm/)*

Two minutes of detuned warmth that has been imitated for twenty-five years without once being equalled. The whole nostalgic strand of electronic music descends from this specific tape hiss.

*1998 · Warp · Picked by [Warp](https://waxonia.com/theme/warp/)*

Two minutes of warmth on a roster known for the opposite, and the most widely loved record the label ever released. It moved Warp somewhere it had not been: melancholy, and legible to people who did not care about electronic music.
