hotline server 171.65.199.9 is giving away thousands of independent 'idm' and indie hip hop releases. i would urge the lables to take action against this punk. Please forward this list to other visible music lists, esp. indie hip hop lists... going down fsst. [`]

I rather enjoyed the concept of his server. He seemed really matter of fact and sincere. Besides, I don't think most people on hotline would even care about these labels. -l on 1/10/01 9:16 PM, _DipthonG_ at kam@columbus.rr.com wrote:

Hey All Usually these politics don't spread outside of the internal music industry, but I'm pretty pissed about this one and feel the word needs to get out. Aside from the below, it's also worth noting that Shadow Records is in no way associated with DJ Shadow as that's another common mistake people make, and in light of our recent deal with Quannum (actually DJ Shadow's label) the presentation of this new release gets even more confusing... It has come to our attention that Instinct/Shadow Records is currently soliciting a compilation entitled "Ninja Tune : The Shadow Years" for release on January 23rd. This release is in no way approved by Ninja Tune. Shadow Records acted as a licensee of Ninja Tune material in the US many years ago. In the short-time of the deal they released a few of our early titles. This deal ended in 1996 and since then they¹ve felt the need to relentlessly repackage what little amount of our catalog they still own. We feel this is nothing more than a shameless way to cash in on our 10th Anniversary Campaign of late last year, and the subsequent release/success of the 3CD "Xen Cuts" box set we released. In their onesheet/press release for this record they state "This incredibly low-priced double CD set is the best way for new Ninja fans to be introduced to the label". We feel this is untrue and that our 3CD box-set (also "incredibly low priced") is in fact the best way to introduce people to the label. "Ninja Tune : The Shadow Years" offers absolutely nothing new, nothing exclusive, and nothing that even a passing Ninja fan hasn¹t already heard on our releases or the endless stream of compilations put out by Shadow Records. Simply put we feel this cheapens the Ninja name and should not considered a proper Ninja Tune release in any way. Stay tuned for more great "new" records on Ninja Tune.

as much as i want to snag some of that stuff.... my ip is good enough reason not to. how does one collect all of this? do you think he bought it? do you think it was standard mp3 trading? i think it's more than that... but who knows? a.
