I ain't no Ninja expert, but I am a big fan... last thing I recall being
licensed is East Flatbush Project, which I loved anyway... the fact that I
bought this domestically (Canada) for like $9 cheaper than the Chocolate
Industries version was a big bonus.
Recent releases from Funki Porcini, Herbaliser, Roots Manuva (Big Dada),
Neotropic (N-Tone) and others are just totally amazing to me. I don't think
any of them are "licensed" from other labels...
As for the Sinead/Coldcut thing... there's no sense in coming down on Ninja
Tune as a whole just cuz Coldcut decided to collaborate with an awful singer
like her. :)

My 2 cents about live shows which has very little to do with the above: I've
only been to a few live concerts in my life, but The Herbaliser's
performance last year in Toronto is definitely at the top of my list.
I know I seem like a real Ninja "mark" (there, i used a wrestling term, Mr.
Hogan :) but they make some damn fine music. Personally, I'd pay to see you
and Ninja Phil in a strap match, as was suggested. But maybe we could turn
it into a ladder match with barbed-wire replacing the ring ropes. Just
dreaming...

I find this hilariously funny, although I'm not sure why...
