Is he actually signed to Warner Brothers, or are they just licensing his
Warp output through that Warp-WB subsidiary deal?
I'd guess that if they are licensing it, it's not costing them as much
compared to what they might pay him out-right for his output.
I would say that RDJ's latest electronic ramblings don't really fit the
corporate mold at WB. "Cow Cud is a Twin" still sounds to me like a
demo track of sorts. Not good for an artist they (potentially) could be
paying big bucks for. IMHO, of course.
