Record Labels (Good and Bad)
willeh:
Best: Level Plane and Ebullition, no contest.
Fucking great labels.
nescience:
--- Quote from: lastclearchance ---Isn't that the point of 5RC? Shit that's too uneven for KRS. I mean even the great stuff (e.g. Xiu Xiu) I wouldn't just hand to someone.

It's true. I mean, you don't listen to 5RC releases like you listen to a label like Merge, Matador, or Sub Pop, but I've lately been picking up all these releases like a Mae Shi release from last year, a Lætitia Sadier collaboration, the new Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu (who I cannot stand), and Replikants and I'm just not getting their vibe. And it's not that I just can't listen to noise, I just can't listen to THEIR noise. Also, their packaging sucks.
--- Quote from: lastclearchance ---
As to Sub Pop, they've had a great year I think. Kelley Stoltz's EP, Wolf Parade, Rogue Wave, and Sleater-Kinney were all 2005. And I'm not even including Iron & Wine, The Constantines, Holopaw, or Low because I haven't heard much from these 2005 releases. But I hear they were good.

Kelly Stoltz, blah. Wolf Parade, did not like. Rogue Wave, hated. Sleater-Kinney, blah. Iron & Wine, blah. Constantines, blah. Holopaw, hated. Low, really liked. We have a winner! I mean, it's tough to pick a label whose sound or bands you really don't like because there are few whose sound you can get a good approximation of unless you're picking up a lot of releases from them, and often that happens when you're enjoying a lot of their releases. 5RC and Sub Pop are the only two that I can think of that I've been buying or downloading a lot of stuff from that I'm not really digging.
I can certainly see, however, how another listener could say that this was a banner year for either one of these labels.
chrysalidigm:
ninjatune. best label name ever, plus they have some pretty good musicians. jaga jazzist for one.
constellation
gooom
creation records are possibly my favourite of all time. (sans oasis) brothers reid, kevin shields and co, and a certain bobby gillespie, to name a few.
amok:
A Different Drum is the best goddamn label in the universe
ninjatune have some awesome acts also
Outshined:
Warp Records has some pretty interesting stuff on it.
Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Boards of Canada for starters.
