i feel guilty for making a borderline pointless topic, so: what're everyone's favorite label samplers/compilations? i just ordered quannum spectrum (dj shadow, blackalicious, latryx, etc.) after putting it off for 3 years (oops) as well as the schematic comp house of distraction. i wanted to order cosmic forces of mu as well as the we are reasonable people warp100 compilation but unfortunately neither are apparently in print in the united states (bugger). i like the braindance coincidence rephlex comp (very nice sampler of artists i wasn't already familiar with like vulva and vibert & simmons), dgc rarities (vintage dgc unreleased tracks, i got it for like $2.50 used), lyricist lounge 2 (rawkus records), solesides greatest bumps (see: quannum), and the warp 10+3 remixes comp. woo! |

The cosmic forces of mu is by far the best "IDM" compalation I have ever heard. I love it! Some killer tracks in there. The tigerbeat6 meow012 was really good too, also a double album. Rephlex's braindance compalation was nice too. But my favorite compalation ever is something called... Black Fly's , it has some old skool uberzone... and some nice goa/acid club tracks. I highly suggest it if anyone can find it. Quality album. But the mu album I got this year and it is really good. |

black fly.. is that a label? when were most of the tracks made? anyway, i don't think mike remembers me emailing him but i've emailed before about the poor distro.. i also said i'd love to do as much as i can to promote his label roster on my show, but his distribution guy never contacted me.. oops. oh well, i'm gonna still play the little mu stuff that i DO have while they work on getting some u.s. distribution or at least an online mail order system (not that i want to pay for imports). |

I found the album... its called: Black Fly's presents Club Fly's, most of the tracks were make from 96 to 98.. top notch stuff. I wish the mu releases were more available in the U.S.... it said on his site that the µ-allstars II LP wont be availible in the US for a year.... WTF>? Something is wrong with that.... |

oh .. probably been asked before somewhere .. but for the sake of adding "content" to this thread :) .. is Battery Operated vs Gescom (cdr) an official release - or where can one get it ??? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok .. maybe planet-µ doesn't stock it :| |
||||||||
|
|

planet µ doesnt have a way of buying albums directly from them yet... Mike said on his bbs that he was thinking of developing something like warp mart.... so that he could sell merchandise like sweatshirts and clothing as well.... |
||||||||

yeah .. for some reason i thought I remembered being able to buy stuff off mu directly - memory is a wonderful thing. anyone bought stuff from ? cosmic forces is going for £12sterling |

Basically, you have to buy stuff when it comes out because as a small label (unlike Warp) Planet mu cannot rely on US shops keeping shelf space for releases, so they order only what they can sell quickly - for a fast turnaround. If we had US orders (from shops) we could supply our US distributor with stock, but at the moment we have no discernable demand. It's fine saying it to a messageboard or to me, but I can't change the US sales/ordering situation, you have to tell the US shops themselves, otherwise they'd never know there is a demand for the label. And that's the only thing that will make a difference. In fact the truth is closer to the fact that there isn't really that much of a demand compared to other (non-idm) labels, so for the shops it's better to ignore your request and continue stocking products they are sure have a guarenteed sales history. Unfortunately we do not (sounds like a vicious circle right?).. |
