If you consider all the whole package, how the label has evolved since it's arrival, the visuals from Ali Demirel that accompany the live performances, they're pushing the boundaries and raising the bar as to what can be achieved from a music label. They do all look rather silly though and i would much prefer an release worth buying for a change.

Sometimes when buying tracks you see "In Love With Machines" or some such title and just cringe...those ideas are really creaky and old now. I guess at that time it was a bit more original.
