i'll have to agree with terre... and elaborate... in the beginning, instinct was WAY ahead of any other american label...now, as more labels have popped up... and branched off with new trends.. instinct has been left with needing to find their OWN niche.. which, as terre said, they are starting to do...having recently singed a bunch of east coast people (myself also included) instinct is starting to build a strong base of ARTISTS.. 1994 will bring many fewer compilations and more full-length releases from artists (including acid jazz)... it might take a couple of years.. but.. over time instinct will have their own sound and a hopefully solid line of producers to carry the label intothe future. it's not easy for a domestic label.. because so much Utechno gets bashed simply because it's not from europe... unless it's way underground US techno... hopefully as time goes on the new breed of instinct artists will make an impact.. i feel pretty positive about all the acts they've signed.. hopefully the rest of the world will! peace

i'm not going to speak for anyone else, but i've heard a good bit of the instinct artists and the stuff just ain't my style.

that comp was the perhaps the biggest pile of shit ever. instinct digging thru all the old kickin' hardcore leaders comps and releasing tunes that were from '91-'92 was PATHETIC. labelling it as jungle when there wasn't one goddamn jungle tune on there. i got it for free and i gave it back!

yeah, one reason there's still some instinct in my collection. that and the US fax releases. but they can't even do it right. bad sound quality, etc.
