    I'm sure when compared to labels like Strictly Rhythm, Defected, etc
    Guidance is definitely on the "fringe"...and that's before you start talking
    about their spoken word/rap poetry albums, Brazilian jazz albums, etc. But
    then again I'd say Naked Music is on the fringe too which you might disagree
    with. And if you don't think Lisa Shaw singing on records from Ism, Sirkus,
    etc is on the fringe I don't know where you think the fringe starts....

    Since when is Guidance (and Lisa Shaw, for that matter) "fringe"
    dance music? I guess it's a pretty vague topic. Tomas is amazing,
    and if you've never been to Dubspot, make sure you go! It's the
    only place around to find cool Japanese releases, especially
    of the unreleased Joe Claussell kind.

    They had copies of a Joe Claussell remix of Ronny Jordan just
    last week that will apparently never see the light of day.
    Add that to the Cassandra Wilson and countless others. Too
    bad for us.
