I dunno if anyone's gonna want a piece of the other hottness, but given the not-so-tenuous link between GI & ILM, I thought it'd be worth pointing out. Here's where they big up Ghostly, & over here is a list of links to other supposed hottnesses (Hottest Phish?) for your bitch-fueling needs.

We have had good word-of-mouth.

And they're using those deep pockets and marketing savvy to release great music. Are you implying this is a bad thing? If so, why?

Jesus Christ, there have been at least 5 threads that get derailed when some idiot tries to hint that somehow Ghostly International is not legit because the label head has a bunch of money. It's getting to be re-goddamn-diculous. The guy's bank statement is TOTALLY fucking irrelevant. Accept it.

I like the Matthew Dear stuff that I have heard, but that Midwest Product/Dykehouse "When Doves Cry" cover was a bit of a stinker. Still put that Disco Nouveau comp. on every now and again, mostly for Solvent's "My Radio."

'S certainly true that Ghostly haven't demonstrated the same kind of consistency as x amount of german microhouse labels. But it's also hard to think of another US dance label doing much of note right now...

they have infiltrated ILM with their street-teamers!! ben boyer is on the take!!

i'm no big fan of ghostly but the assertion that no other US dance label is working very hard is pretty tough to refute.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 29 July 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

what is the link between GI and ILM??

― dave k, Thursday, 29 July 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

all i know is that the head of ghostly dropped all his players in the ILBaseball fantasy league in the stretch last year forcing me to adopt a "do not cut" provision this year. that's all i'm saying.
