The New York Times recently reported on a new record label in which the artist retains ownership of the recorded material while the label sees to the distribution and manufacturing process. This sounds like a stroke of genius to me. Has anyone seen any discs from the Avie lable here in the US? From the sound of it, the material that is being recorded is interesting and adventuresome. Below is the link to the article if anyone cares to investigate it further. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/16/arts/music/16HIGH.html?tntemail1 Kevin
