most consistent greatness

lewis and his bands

ECM is objectively the GOAT record label.

OBJECTIVELY.

Literally. Cannot contest it.

God you're such a fucking plebeian.

4AD
Run for Cover
Square of Opposition
Polyvinyl (used to work there)
Relapse

>>52197628
FlyLo is the worst artist on Warp by a fucking landslide, few people want to admit this.

>jazz is for classy, sophisticated individuals such as myself

>>52197867

good post-rock was ONLY the first wave

>>52197920
Jazz > Popular Music.
>>52197926
Lumen Drones m8.

>>52197888
personally i feel that cosmogramma and their predecessors were much better than anything jackson & his computerband has released

>>52197931
>Jazz > Popular Music
nice b8 m8. can you be any more contrived

>>52197959
You can continue to be wrong, and look like an idiot with no taste; or you can stop denying it.

>>52197880
>Polyvinyl (used to work there)
whoa! that's so cool. Polyvinyl is one of my favorites as well! Square of Opposition is tight too. How was working there? were you an intern?

>>52197919
>EDM
nope

motown
ipecac
sst
southern lord
dischord
hydra head
stones throw
man's ruin
kill rock stars

>>52197783
Were you trying to prove him right?

>>52197959
but jazz is popular music

Dischord
Deathwish Inc
Neurot
Hydra Head

>>52197971
good god. you are the epitome of the 'everybody has shit taste in everything but me' autistic neckbeard who trawls /mu/. i bet you hate kanye purely on merit of him getting 10 on pitchfork and get angry at people who dance at concerts instead of enjoying the music too. shit cunt.

>>52198014
It's in between Art and Popular.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily one or the other.
>>52198029
Nice baseless assumptions.

come on guys

>>52198036
well something had to lead me to those assumptions.

if you are such an ambassador for culture and taste, then explain to me why every artist on ninja tune and warp is shit, and more so , why saying your favourite rec is a jazz record isn't just incredibly try-hard

>>52198083
Awful label.

>Chain Reaction
>Mille Plateaux
>Kompakt
>Delsin
>Opal Tapes
>Editions Mego
>Kranky

damn I've got good taste.

trve patrician label here

>>52198134
I'm not even saying Warp is shit.
I'm saying ECM, which covers both the worlds of art AND popular musics, is superior.

>>52198329
wtf even is that

ENEMIES LIST HOME RECORDINGS

>>52198407
What's even on Enemies List besides Dan Barrett's music and Mamaleek?

Discorporate Records has some pretty good stuff. As does Believer's Roast. Also, John Zorn's label isn't too bad.

Southern Lord

>ECM
babbys first faux-patrician label
the vast majority of the releases are fucking awful, they rarely get it right

>>52197990
Yeah intern for about 6 months. Real nice guys, still friends with the Vice President and other folks there. They're just all around good people with good taste in music. Most of it was just mailing press packs to people and updating their website while listening to music on amazing speakers.

Anticon and Graveface

Wax Trax
Sub Pop

i like captured tracks the most

Arts & Crafts
Sacred Bones
Constellation
Paper Bag
Thrill Jockey

Tzadik
Soleil Zeuhl
Staalplat (their webstore is fucking amazing)
God Mountain
Rune Grammofon
World Serpent (not such a big fan of their sleazy business practices, but lotsa good releases)
Textile Records
Warp Records
ECM
Maboroshi no Sekai
Ipecac
Sub Rosa

Not including artist-owned labels who almost exclusively do releases by said artist (Rabid Records, Seventh Records, Magaibutsu, Eskaton etc), since there are way too many of those.

>>52198212
Yep, Mego and Kranky are the right choices.

Cold Meat Industry and Tzadik are the most recognizable labels that come to mind.

>>52200997
I know you aren't technically including it as one of your favorites, but points for mentioning Magaibutsu, I love Tatsuya Yoshida

>>52198083
Do you like Posh Isolation and Ascetic House?
