Hmm, you said "constructive discussion" ;) Of
course it's a matter of opinion, if you really
think Jimi Tenor's not worth of Warp's efforts,
but I personally think they could've done *much
worse* than to sign him: the guy has been one
of the biggest names in the Finnish avantgarde
for ten years, and it's interesting to see what
new directions he's still going to pursue, so
I really don't have anything against Jimi's
being exposed to a larger international audience.
Talking about Warp itself: I have liked very
much the albums like Red Snapper's latest (King
Crimson jazz updated for the t**p h*p generation),
which have only given more diversity to the label,
so I really have nothing to complain - only wish we
could do something to some fanboys' attitudes ;)
(just joking)
