- I wasn't saying they were an indie! I was just making a point that the
- indie labels will manipulate product just as readily as the big boys...
-
- By the way, Razor are usually released through Mushroom/Festival, not
- MDS, and Shock is rumored to be signing a distribution deal with Sony
- soon, which may explain the Sony-style catalogue number on the Lab CD...

- Talk about playing to a non-critical audience! If I had a dance/rave
- band and could have chosen a place to play, it'd have been at Pure.
- Sheeesh! Just like the ridiculous 20-minute DAT-and-vocal Beloved "gig"
- at Chasers, the Quadrophonia "gig" was a Hey Hey appearance dressed up
- as a concert. If we establish that the singer/rapper from Q can't sing
- or make proper use of a mike, then all you're left with is the DAT and
- the DJ-ing. Better to hire a Technics turntable, pretend you're tripping
- and do it yourself at home! :-)
