the basic point is that these labels have gone from releasing all quality music to releasing a LOT of music with only a few gems hidden in the mush. what is wrong with them? it seems the creativity has been sapped out of some of them... for example check out the new cydonia tune: BASS MONSTER... its an ok track but when you break it down it is just a simple beat with samples from old material!! even the bass line is ripped off! so what gives?
dragonfly and atomic still have some good stuff... i like a bit of the new dragonfly progressive like the prometheus/saikopod EP, 12 moons with northern star, etc... but flying rhino i just cant get into at all any more. why is it that when labels try new things everyone goes with them? why aren't they releasing some good goa alongside the techno stuff? thats the real thing i want to know... but anyhow, it is surely wise advice to simply 'buy elsewhere' and thats what i will be doing if these people continue to follow trends instead of setting them.
