person + passion = need and desire to create amazing music
selling music = $
$ + person = person - passion
= bad music
This applies to autechre, aphex twin, funkstorung and foo foo chatiba nogula neftwark sitalk.

That theory is terrible. I made a disproof of it in 5 seconds:
yabba dabba doo + 5 = 6
Therefore $ != toadstool.

autechre, aphex twin and other such small time artists don't make enough money to subtract that much passion
groups like orbital, prodigy and the likes on the other hand are a different story
plus you also have to think, usually theyre just getting older too
people's ideas seem less fresh when you've heard all of their tricks before

There are also severly deluded and/or demented people that think the fact that their music got them popular and made them money means it is good, rather than simply being the best at memetically replicating. For these people:
person + money = person + passion = better subjective (to them) music = worse objective music.
Since these people operately differently we will call them "imaginary people" sort of like "imaginary numbers". We will say that it is illegal to divide an imaginary person by a zebra just to keep out logic correct here.

As far as I know, aphex twin was entitled to produce a certain amount of cd's for warp.
When most artists sign at a label like warp, they may get a contract entailing they produce 5, 10, 15 cd's for them within a certain timeframe*. These include singles (with added material), lp's ep's such. Double cd's count as two cd's. Notice how aphx's last two releases for warp before druqs were two ep's, and then he released two double cd's in about as quick a succession as a label would normally allow.
Generally, when somebody releases a compilation album, its kind of a quick way to finish off a label contract.
*(Warp is generally pretty liberal with the way their artists, giving them practically as much time as they want in between releases, and publishing albums in any format, to any number the artist wants - so if they want a maximum of 500 eight track cassettes produced, that is pretty much what warp will do for them as long as they are able to sell. Honestly, I cant see why so many people bitch about warp, seeing as its the closest thing I can see to running your own label, without the financial burden. One of the guys from warp even sent me a registration code for a program I was needing quite a few years ago.)

hmm... thanks for the inthornation. I wonder if aphex is done with warp currently or if The Lord of Anal was released on warp. I still don't forsee him releasing super wicked come to daffy part 2 or something though.

I don't know. He has finally agreed to work with bjork, cause she finally agreed on a price he could live with. I am pretty sure he is done with warp, although I haven't heard for certain. He will prolly end up doing something for them when he runs out of money (again) and they name a price high enough...

hmm let me alter your equation
person makes music person busts ass to promot distrubute it person gets signed to a label person makes money person then realizes label makes more money than artist person decides to release shit music til contract is up or terminated.
then nobody cares about this persons music unless they release something good. i'm hoping analord gets better.

I have a couple friends in the know, that informed me of this a while back. This was after that vespertine album, but before that god awfull voice album... I am pretty sure its still in the green. I know she has been trying to get him to collaberate for a while, but unless you are mark bell or matmos, the bjork collaberator label generally kills your carreer (and matmoses last album was kind of crappy).

I don't know... even though warp is massive for an underground label, they are still an underground label, and their large pressings are no larger than a large labels extremely limited press of a lesser known bands novelty album.
There are so many points that money is spent on distributing music to the consumer. There is artist cost, producer cost, mastering cost, designer cost, cost of producing cd, cost of printing album art, cost of marketing cd, cost of distributing label, cost of shipping cd's, and retail markup of said cd. If you look at the fact that labels need to set aside a certain ammount of money from each cd produced to help fund further albums by other artists, and the cost of possible expansion, then the label doesn't seem to actually make that much at all.

That qualifies more for small to medium labels than to massive labels that produce more than 50 albums a year.
