It's been over two hours now...sheets of notepaper discarded around me, covered in lame attempts to explain a label that's merely a collection of record created by people with an open, like mind. They have no concept of pigeonholing, rules or the use of the word 'product' when it comes to music.
Named after a Hayzee Fantayzee track and a bunch of renegade cossacks, started with zero finance, 1,000 records, and helped on its way two friends with a car.
Two years later we've grown quite a bit, but the mentality remains. Sometimes a hindrance, but mostly a help., no game plan, no buinsess plan, in fact no plans at all. As for aims and goals, don't know the meaning of the concepts, concepts which can lead to compromise.
I'm not going to try and run through this compilation with some sort of track by track explanation.
You find a common thread...but then again why bother? Who needs handy hooks for hanging labeled packages on? Oh yea, I know, Marketing Men.
I'd much rather use this space to say a long overdue thanks to the following people:
Billy and Chips, Genesis P. Orridge, Nina, Robert Linney, Jeff Barratt, Noel, Curley, MadArk, and a supporting/supportive cast of DJs, Journalists, and enthusiasts. You know who you are and so do I. Come the revolution you will receive your rewards.
Love and Sabres

P.S. In England the cuts were deep, crossing the water to the U.S. they turned septic; your cockney friends will tell you why!
