^^ v. true. also i dont think there was much on editions mego for ppl to rally around... maybe the mark fell record? i reall liked the evil madness lp but i dont think many other ppl did...
spitballing here but whiney if yr still reading this: doesnt it also make more sense to run reviews of like 2 chainz and beyonce than of a hecker cd + book release just for like, pageviews or w/e? like wouldnt it make sense for them to move away from covering that stuff just in the abstract?

have they gotten behind anything on mego lately?
Bill Orcutt. They've also given positive reviews to non-Mego stuff like Philip Jeck and Fennesz and Mika Vainio in the recent past.

The Prurient record that was BNMd was on Mego and is like the seventh best Prurient record

lots of good stuff on Important this year. i think they covered Van Wissem in a column.... and Vampillia got a full review.

last year they covered Eliane Radigue's 2 reissues, but missed the big one this year (monumental!)

not really mystery record on my computer but while I was sorting through my physical music collection before my move, I found a copy of Mos Def's The Ecstatic that I couldn't ever recollect having purchased or listened to. Which might not seem weird to most, but I have a somewhat hyperthymesiac memory of physical music I've bought, and this is like the one album I've bought that I have recollection of how it got into my collection.
