I always admired this blatant "fuck you" attitude towards
the major label. I guess it was the first aphex release on
warner, the sampler from SAW2, which had RDJames talking in
an interview about how happy he was that the label was not
holding him back from whatever he desired to do, even if
that meant not naming the tracks and making strange abstract
electronic music unlike anything that had been released to
date. since major labels tend to be bandwagoneers instead of
ground breakers (or innovative pioneers), the fact that
Ricky DJ got away with all this in his contract was not only
a great way to gain massive exposure and not be stiffled by
typical money-grubbing scum tactics, but also was a great
way to sell his album to the peeps that were into that back
in the day... (indi kidz, ravers, peeps outside the
mainstream media who had $$$ that warner bros was not
tapping into at the time, all turned on by the blissful
abstract ambience and quankery.) FUCK YOU major label...
what a sales pitch to those buried in subculturisms.
and oh yeah, I liked selcted cuts off Druqks, but not the
whole thing. Who ever likes absolutely everything that any
particular artists has ever done, recordered, played live,
etc.?
