><cut> >>I highly doubt I will ever go see them again. And I especially >>doubt I will like anything off their new release (which I think >>is slated for march). in the latest XLR8R, doc scott makes a great point about how jungle has had to make do over the past couple years without its leaders being involved in a scene they helped create. since photek, roni size, goldie, etc. have signed contracts, their output has slowed to a snail's pace. likewise in the above, i remember back in the 'rez' days when it seemed like there were new underworld records every time i turned around, but now they're doing shows and talking about their next stuff coming out in six months..there's a definite schism between the production schedules of independent artists and labelled ones - and perhaps this would be better posed to a producer's list - but i wonder what the benefits are for them to make that change. i don't know much about the workings of big label electronic music, but i see no reason to think that the situation is much different from the one described in steve albini's "the problem with music." eric onnow: anthony manning : chromium nebulae (irdial)
