I agree they have released a few things. But their sound cannot really be compared to schematic or any of the smiliar type labels. I am not saying they are not into electronic sounds. They tend to lean towards the more experimental side of the spectrum. They are also really into noise it seems (Merzbow,Amm, Janik Schaefer etc..). Even the various artists remixes sounded more like Various artists than the remixers. The Funkstorung 12" though does fit into the IDM/crunchy/strange beat territory. > A series of electronic based split 12s from artists including VVM, > Third Eye Foundation, both of which I consider more noise oriented than not. >Req req is really under appreciated. But I thik this once again fits into another category. That of experimental hip hop. Which the label seems to have a thing for (see Live Human). just seems to me that when Fat Cat does something the releases are more left field... but all that could be personal bias. either way it is nice to finally see some talk about this label. -daniel Head Monkey Mad Monkey Records http://monkey.eliteware.com
