| |                        "snappy singles"                        | |
| | today's show featured red snapper, an act that stands out from | |
| | the majority of artists signed to warp in that they use proper | |
| | musical instruments! drums, double bass and sax all feature in | |
| | their typically funky and jazzy sound. the band was founded in | |
| | 1993 by david ayers, ali friend and richard thair who released | |
| | their first three e.p.s ('the snapper', 'swank' & 'hot flush') | |
| | on their own label, flaw. these were later rereleased on their | |
| | debut album on warp entitled 'reeled and skinned'. once signed | |
| | to warp records they released a total of 6 singles through the | |
| | latter half of the 90's along with three further proper albums | |
| | including the recent 'our aim is to satisfy red snapper'. this | |
| | programme featured a range of red snapper's singles, including | |
| | their early e.p.s, plus their remix of the classic 'wilmot' by | |
| | the sabres of paradise (recorded for one of warp's 10th birth- | |
| | day albums) and their contribution to warp's 100th single. the | |
| | official red snapper website sits at: www.redsnapperonline.net | |

| | i'll be featuring the sabres of paradise (again) in two weeks. | |
