What is more independent (or should I say, not acting like a fucking major
label), is looking out for your customers' best interests.  In other
words, acting like NINJA TUNE.  Open your own office in North America.
Simultaneous release dates w/ same music, same art.  Value  - double
CD comps for the price of one CD, and none of these singles w/ just a few
minutes of new music (like undoneson).  Oh, and having a high profile net
presence, trying to keep everyone informed about cool happenings, even
when they don't directly involve your company (thanks Ninjeff!).  Nobody
loves ya like the Ninjas - certainly not Warp.
