I remember the times when Rob Mitchell died from cancer. Here or there, i read that Warp would no longer be the same anymore — i.e. the label would then release some dubious music. I was sceptical first and thought «*what do they know ?!*»... but the prophecies applied. The neo-no-disco-cosmopolitan-left-wing-alter-native-crossroads premise Warp became is not enough to me. That reminds me Accidental Records' motto saying «*support independant music*» : there's one word too much there, because you support music or not, and independance has nothing to say here. Of course i wouldn't say so if only Matthew «*Go Beyonce Go Beyonce*» Herbert — with all the respect he deserves besides — released some better music than he does. Now i see the new Accidental motto is : «*an independant home for music without compromise*» — too bad that one of my favorite quotes from a famous french writer (Andre Gide) actually is «*L’art naît de contrainte, vit de lutte, meurt de liberté*», which exactly means «*Art is born from constraint, lives through struggle and dies through liberty.*» Okay, i know selling music is not an easy thing and marketing has its reasons, but all of this vacuity exhausts me. Sorry for this but as i first said : i'm getting old ! Let's go to bed anyway. Good nite everybody. On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 11:09 AM, Mehmet Ismail <mehmet.ismail85@gmail.com> wrote:
