What VOID?? I mean the first four or five releases (Plaid, Gescom, Jake
Slaz, Jedi Knights) were all excellent and worth purchasing, but were
produced by already established artists.  What followed thereafter was for
the most part OK, nevertheless, not very exciting.  As One was good, but
again, an already established artist.  I don't really see why Clear was
considered so "revolutionary" when all they did was enlist IDM illuminati
and had them perform in a retro style. 

Not trying to slag the label or its fans... just my two cents.

Mike.
