Yes, but you don't see him running out to hire some guy who made a
record he likes to write his tracks with him so he can ape his sound and
then sit back and read reviews about what a cutting edge musical genius
he is.

My argument has nothing to do with the merits of one particular artist
over another as obviously it is all a matter of personal taste, my
argument lies with the credit one should recieve for the work produced.

You're right, it's not about money. There are broke bastards who make
crap tracks and rich bastards who make great tracks. I like some of
bjork's stuff, it's not like I despise her or anything - but i do take
exception when you put her in the same league as Autechre and
Squarepusher and some of the other underground labels you mentioned.
It's an insult to those artist who come up with their own ideas and see
them through to the final product instead of hiring people to come up
with ideas for them.
ps i'll ask erik next time.
