I ain't no Ninja expert, but I am a big fan... last thing I recall being licensed is East Flatbush Project, which I loved anyway... the fact that I bought this domestically (Canada) for like $9 cheaper than the Chocolate Industries version was a big bonus. Recent releases from Funki Porcini, Herbaliser, Roots Manuva (Big Dada), Neotropic (N-Tone) and others are just totally amazing to me. I don't think any of them are "licensed" from other labels... As for the Sinead/Coldcut thing... there's no sense in coming down on Ninja Tune as a whole just cuz Coldcut decided to collaborate with an awful singer like her. :) > give me a break, i really hope the ninja tune show that was posted to > be taking place in nyc is a HUGE failure. the lineup has a few decent > folks but with artists like coldcut & spooky taking part, expect at > least some horrible music. it all boils down to a bunch of suckers > trying to get popular by aligning themselves with more suckers so they My 2 cents about live shows which has very little to do with the above: I've only been to a few live concerts in my life, but The Herbaliser's performance last year in Toronto is definitely at the top of my list. I know I seem like a real Ninja "mark" (there, i used a wrestling term, Mr. Hogan :) but they make some damn fine music. Personally, I'd pay to see you and Ninja Phil in a strap match, as was suggested. But maybe we could turn it into a ladder match with barbed-wire replacing the ring ropes. Just dreaming... > unsubscribing in a little bit, don't worry. I find this hilariously funny, although I'm not sure why... xxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx
