...not to mention the fact that many of the Matador/Capitol titles are
available through such painfully mainstream avenues as Columbia House.
but before we start wringing our hands and worrying about "what's to become of
underground electronic music?" - didn't anyone notice my forward from Warp re:
BoC and Matador? Warp says it aint happenin'. Does someone have proof
otherwise?
speaking of Matador - the Pizzicato 5 remix album is surprisingly decent.
quite a few of these were released as a series of 12"s - but there's plenty of
good stuff here. The Automator, 808 State, Daddy-O, DJ Dara, Gusgus, Sean
O'Hagan, Oval, John Oswald (my favorite of the bunch), St. Etienne, Momus, The
Shooter, Dimitri From Paris, Daniel Miller & Gareth Jones. makes me wonder why
Matador doesn't just license the entire catalogue of Germany's Bungalow
label..
if i see just ONE more high-profile magazine write-up of the Dimitri From
Paris reissue, i really am going to cry. i guess you can scream and rant until
you're blue in the face, but it don't mean a thing 'til it's got that Atlantic
Records seal of approval.
