> 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. i think i like the idea behind fatcat more than the music that they put out. every so often i'll buy something from them which i'll like (the recent s^jn side of a split 12" & the various artists 12"s come to mind) but i don't really care for most of their other acts (at least from what i've heard on 'across uneven terrain'.) too much british post rock, which i think is even more painful to listen to than american post rock (which is already quite a pain for all i'm concerned, but let's not start _that_ thread). they're a label where you're usually better off listening first, then buying. however, the music is always quality stuff, & i appreciate the fact that they're one of the few 'outsider' labels in the idm world, which, as daniel mentioned, don't stick to a certain genre & beat it to death but instead take chances on unknown acts which produce leftfield music. i don't like it doesn't mean it's not good. :) -- david
