Mark, 4 is funny as hell, but a guy once said many of the artists do this to escape some of the loopholes, that labels try to stick on em(add in their contract). I dont know but that sounded good at the time, besides I am not complaining. How else would I be able to hear Great shit from the likes of Global, John Beltran, Sensorama, Ro70, Alter Ego, Holy Garage, Chaos & Julia Set, Primitive painter, Placid Angels, Indio etc....... Ha ha ha ha, it has served me just fine!
