I've only got one album on the Mo' Wax label - the compilation album
'Headz'. Can anyone tell me if this is typical of the sort of music Mo' Wax
has? For my liking, it's a bit too slow and dreary. (please don't flame me
to death), but Mo' Wax has such a reputation, I was wondering if they also
cover similar styles?

The sort of music I'm looking for is like the Ninja Tune label - acts like
Funki Porcini and 9 Lazy 9. I like the sounds of Portishead and Massive
Attack, but, looking for stuff not quite as well-known. I've justed ordered
the Red Snapper album 'Reeled & Skinned' from overseas, but have never heard
of Red Snapper - have I bought a dud? Also, stumbled onto the Earthling
album - WOW! I don't usually like rap sorta vocals, but this is just the
wikkidist, trippy, chilled out, grooooovy sorta shit!! Glad I bought that one.

Is A.P.E. anything like any of the above?

Does Mo' Wax have stuff like any of the above? If not, can anyone suggest
another label to try?

Ta muchly,

Marc.
