^ Indeed.
Perhaps my favorite label (and one that hasn't been mentioned yet) is the brilliant AltRock label...which hasn't producded anything bad (that I've heard). Yugen, Rational Diet, Simon Steensland, the new PdP...and others I can't think of off the top of my head. And they are quite new so its rather easy to keep up with their releases.

^ Thanks for the article. I did some more searching and I found that what I read was indeed not an official information, but forum gossip.

I wouldn't be surprised if that news was true though... there were at least a couple of instances of the label having to recall their products due to audio glitches in New Order and Genesis remasters I found this lone article on Rhino addressing the matter of their survival here: http://www.bravewords.com/news/122766 Edited by catfood03 - November 18 2010 at 06:35 |

Cuneiform, Ohr, Garden of Delights, the other good Krautrock reissuing labels, Tzadik, ReR, and various jazz-oriented labels, I suppose.

Oh come now!
We all know 99% of us have a majority of our albums on: Atlantic/ATCO Elektra/Asylum WB/Reprise Columbia Polygram and MCA/Decca for some old vinyl junkies. Seriously though, I have a few that stick out for less corporate material. Sensory/Lasers edge Cuneiform ECM Caroline for digging up some older stuff. In the next decade, we will all be saying, "Hey, remember the old days when we had record labels." The internet is the world of self-promotion. The wall between artist and listener has come down. |

Hunh? Rhino's still re-issuing music. Just check out the "Upcoming" tab on their site (Van Halen, Stooges, and Bee Gees are next on their list) Here's mine... Sire (for 80's alternative and pop music): Madonna, Depeche Mode, Erasure Nettwerk (for late 80's/early 90's dance and industrial music): Skinny Puppy, Manufacture, Severed Heads 4AD (for their rock, dreamy pop, and goth bands): Pixies, Throwing Muses, Dead Can Dance Warp (for innovative electronic acts): Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre Tzadik (for championing non-conventional composers): John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Susie Ibarra |

mmmm, 4AD did fine things for the British indie/post rock scene throughout the nineties, so add them to my list. As much as I respect ECM for the music they are putting out, I struggle with them aesthetically, mainly talking from a musical perspective, they hurt my ears. I wish it wasn't so. Not sure if anyone else has found the same thing? probably just me being picky. |

Just a simple uniformed list off the top of my head, I'll skip over the big jazz ones people have already listed.
Kunsthall, HG Fact, Erstwhile Records, Improvised Music From Japan/Ftarri, For 4 Ears, A Bruit Secret, Edition Wandelweiser, B-Boim Records, Balloon & Needle, Slub, Doubt Music, Manual, HatART, Col Legno, Wergo, Edition RZ, Smithsonian Folkways, None Such, VDE Gallo, Screwed up records, etcetera. So many good labels going around that we need to keep alive. |

Tzadik, ReR, and Cuneiform are the obvious choices for someone like me (although I greatly prefer the first), but I also like: Impulse!, Blue Note, Okkadisk, ESP, Atavistic, Emanem/Psi, Matchless, Erstwhile, Black Saint/Soul Note, Clean Feed, Naxos, and DG. Now, this isn't an entirely fair list, because I'm much more grateful that Impulse! was around than Erstwhile, but I think it's great that Jon Abbey is doing his thing over there and I'm happy that he can make a living from it, so I want to acknowledge that.
Also, I made this thread almost exactly a year ago! That's eerie. Edited by Henry Plainview - April 23 2010 at 23:17 |
