i think payola is a sublabel of a german label called mth. those two 12-inches you mentioned were released around the same time as one by an artist called blond--a four-tracker of clangy beatoriented electroncia and probably the most "idm"-y of the bunch. according to some press materials or a catalog or something i read, payola is committed to blending acoustic and electronic music in a similar fashion as groups such as tortoise and trans-am, but with more of a foothold in current styles of experimental dance music (as opposed to the throwaway dub and electro of the thrill jockey set). oh, and i think it was console who also had a track on that comp "the day my favorite insect died," which showed up on a lot of indie scribes' top 10 list for '96. hope that helps in some way... sc

I just got a stack of fairly recent (i.e. released in the last year or so) 12"s on the Payola label, and combined with my previous Payola purchases, I'm wondering if I have a complete collection. Here's what I have so far... PAYOLA A - Console 12" PAYOLA A2 - Console "Panorama" CD PAYOLA A4 - Console "Rocket In The Pocket" CD PAYOLA B - Blond 12" PAYOLA B2 - Blond CD PAYOLA B3 - Blond 12" PAYOLA C - Snowe 12" PAYOLA D - Schneider TM 12" PAYOLA E - Kammerflimmer Kollektief 12" PAYOLA F - Tied & Tickled Trio CD PAYOLA F2 - Tied & Tickled Trio remix 12" PAYOLA G1 - Fuschimuschi 12" PAYOLA I1 - B Recordings "Mount Mitchum" 12" PAYOLA K1 - Hometrainer "Tips for Professional Drilling" 12" PAYOLA L1 - Marsmobil 12" Based on the numbering (or rather lettering) pattern, I'm guessing that I'm missing something by Console (release A3) and releases by at least two other artists (H1 and J1). Any tips on these releases and where to get them would be greatly appreciated.

The latest Tied and Tickled Trio CD is actually on Drag City, unless they've licensed it from Payola. I forget the name.. (I'd thoroughly recommend it, btw - not at all like most releases involving jazz and electronics) I tried looking at the Payola site (www.hausmusik.com) and, ignoring the language barrier, it seems to have a very incomplete listing of the catalogue.
