The Numero Group

So, all new music sucks huh?
The folks at the Numero group seem to have a great appreciation for re-releasing some of the best music no one has ever heard. A friend brought me the "Yellow Pills: prefill" comp and it's pretty close to what an ideal compilation should be. I mean I have NEVER heard of any of these bands. It's a real treasure.
What's great about it is that the label seems to put a lot of time and care into their whole package, the Music is great, and the accompanying package is so well done and well made. The liner notes seem to go on and on, which I can't get enough of. I mean in this day and age the CD has become something strange, it's like a capsule, that contains music, then once emptied, is rarely heard from again. Maybe if more labels would try a little harder, people would still go out and buy music. But, I digress.

It's good to see that there are people out there willing to pay close attention to detail. It's nice to see deserving bands, being treated like royalty, or at least being packaged like royalty.

Their other releases include an obscure french band called ANTENA, who sound like Stereolab, but this record was originally released when the members of Stereolab were still in high school. And other releases are Eccentric Soul, featuring songs from different obscure soul labels (Capsoul and Bandit, yeah that's right, huh? Never heard of them either.) Their newest is a reissue of an impossibly obscure rockabilly record.
Dig it.
