They're asking various people to choose five from Bleep's catalogue for their 5th birthday.

Warp co-founder Steve Beckett has chosen Amo Bishop Roden as one of his five picks:

"Sweet psychedelic 80's funk - Boards have got a nack[sic] for sucking you into a tune within a few seconds and then just holding you there in the beauty of their sounds which connect directly to your heart." SB

psychedelic 80s funk? hmm.. i'd say it sounds more like ambient prog, breathtaking sunrise after a night of raving.. something Sasha & Digweed would put on one of their comps.. no?

Amo Bishop Roden? I'm really very surprised. I'd call that their weakest track, frankly.

And I'd call it one of their strongest! Each to their own I guess

Amo Bishop Roden probably has the slowest start of all BoC songs, but yeah, it's strong overall. Could've picked worse.
