Yeah, I'll throw myself behind this one as well. A really pleasant
surprise considering that the KK/Nova Zembla/Radical Ambient axis of
labels has had a fairly spotty track record at times. They've been getting
their shit together in the last year or two, though, with obvious stuff
(ike Test Dept., Scorn, etc.) and some not-so-obvious stuff (Yellowcake,
Brain Pilot, and the fucking brilliant Xingu Hill album from a couple of
months back that I should've mentioned during that "looking from something
like Public Energy No. 1" thread). They still do a fair bit of the generic
psychedelic trance thing, but gems are popping up in their roster more
and more often.
Oh, and of course, they've still got PWOG. Can't forget that.
