i think i like the idea behind fatcat more than the music that they put
out. every so often i'll buy something from them which i'll like (the
recent s^jn side of a split 12" & the various artists 12"s come to mind)
but i don't really care for most of their other acts (at least from what
i've heard on 'across uneven terrain'.) too much british post rock,
which i think is even more painful to listen to than american post rock
(which is already quite a pain for all i'm concerned, but let's not
start _that_ thread). they're a label where you're usually better off
listening first, then buying.
however, the music is always quality stuff, & i appreciate the fact that
they're one of the few 'outsider' labels in the idm world, which, as
daniel mentioned, don't stick to a certain genre & beat it to death but
instead take chances on unknown acts which produce leftfield music. i
don't like it doesn't mean it's not good. :)
