The label "quality", in my way of thinking, is intended to be applied
to something tested, a comercial product, with an especific purpose.
Music itself is multi-purposal, if i can say this way. Is expression.
Some people might like it, other might hate it.
If "quality" means it was music produced under the standarts of the
best gear or best pure sound it's even worst. Creativity don't need
the ideal technical enviroment to come out - everybody knows that.
And if "quality" means this music has quality comparing to other
music that has no quality, the artist/producer is talking about his
personal musical taste.
Well, in any of the situations above, quality means nothing. I would
find useless to label any music i would produce as "quality", once
the music should speak for itself.
That's my own opinnion, of course. That's my way of thinking.
Sorry for some bad english. :)

i've listened the tracks in the bleep site. Some are good tracks, i
agree.
But i cannot agree with the words on the CD cover: "quality
electronic music".
But i don't agree with tha so called label idm as well.
...
I am curious to see the picture disc. Anyone has a link to a photo or
something?

You're entitled to your own opinion of course Kowalsky, but if as you
say 'some are good tracks' how can you disagree with the (so-called)
title 'Quality Electronic Music'?!?
By the way, I say so-called title, because apparently 'Quality
Electronic Music' is not the official title.

Ah, well, whatever, I agree with the title/not title myself,
although I
think the comp highlights only one side of Ai.

Anyone pining for the glory days of Warp (when Detroit, techno and
what branched off into idm were still bubbling in a less segregated

The label has issued some nice things over the past several years,
but this one is especially solid.
Those initials make sense.
