Thirty-two of the best.


A skeletal creature from the depths of hell screams into an old woman’s face, schoolkids smash stuff up in an alley and a leering Aphex Twin gropes clones of himself in the back of a limo… Happy days eh? Warp Vision is the 15-year-old label’s first DVD release (not to be confused with Warp Film). It features 32 promos, from Jarvis Cocker’s faltering early 90s arthouse films to Adam Levite’s MTV-friendly Mutescreamer (for Beans), via Chris Cunningham’s groundbreaking Aphex work (worth the price alone), and the likes of Lynn Fox (Chris Clark’s Gob Coitus) and Daniel Levi’s excellent Freak (for LFO). It’s an essential purchase, obviously. So please go out and buy it.
