as opposed to the late-20's of the industry's classic artists with computers and some gear, wonder what turning 30 will feel like? :) I don't even consider =

well, considering that the artists on a label define the sound of the label, it looks like warp is changing their sound. oh wait, they've been changing for some time now :) i don't see how the "warp sound" argument still holds up, 7 yrs after the last real artificial intelligence cd came out and with the prevalence of red snapper... i agree that independent labels tend to stick to a particular sound, but that doesn't mean they can't expand and license and release different artists they like. a question for the labelheads on the list - do artists tend to associate strongly with the labels they're signed on? does it depend on the way the label is set up, or is there a difference between a "family" label and a "we release music like this" label...? cheers, /derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
