i guess i meant less that it went broke, than that in many ways prime changed the landscape of techno...and in many ways this was a good thing, as tons of great labels were distributed or owned by prime. but it also created a glut of labels, many of which were basically one or two artists. before that point in the mid-to-late 1990s, the industry was more consolidated. so...did prime alter the industry in such a way that stretched techno out too thinly, or did it make an industry reliant upon prime? just some musings...
