I never stated that this was a definitive or complete list. I was expecting some expansion... I guess I was a bit presumptuous about the titles 'where we will go next' and 'fifteen post rephlex/warp labels to look out for.' I should have just left it at 'a few recommendations or something along those lines. <<they are destined to be underappreciated now, their (often tiny) operations are hardly able to compete for airspace and page-space with those labels currently borne aloft on the shoulders of the press as The Messiahs of Electronica [sic]. yet what they are doing is consistently pushing the music forward and dissolving boundaries.>> agreed << too many of these other labels are putting out reliable - but admittedly retread - records. but these labels - and many others - are daring to be different. >> this i'd like you to expand on. I dare you to name any one of the labels I listed as "reliable - but admittedly retread" (ok maybe skam, dot, and worm interface... but twelve out of fifteen ain't bad :-) <<progress isn't always lush and harmonic. and you can't always dance to it.>> hmm... who said v/vm was 'lush and harmonic' or danceble?? or is this some sort of metaphor i'm missing? <<and, c'mon... i'm sure Stuart will be putting out fine music. but isn't it a little premature to hail a label without a single release as a herald of IDM's bright future? you may well be 100% right about MFR, but why not hold off on the plaudits and the back-slapping until we actually HEAR an MFR record? ;-) >> got me there. There is no way in hell i'm even gonna try and argue this. I'm just VERY interested in hearing the BoC track (and those 10 sec. sound samples from "Boc Maxima"@ ehx didn't help, just make me want it more. didn't that cosmic crafter fellow say something about repressing this and the first 12", or selling them over the web page or something?) mult...... http://rampage.ml.org/users/~multsanta/ [mu-ziq.darcangelo.reviews.++]
