Some fair points made here.

But I just think the essence of what Cluster was as a label died a long time ago, and its just had to start releasing this sort of stuff to keep going.

The early Clusters were just brilliant, like all of the tracks on Cluster**** or the DDR and Paul Harding ones, which were just insanely funky experimental techno.

Seems like nowdays there isn't that much experimentation going on within the SUF collective, its all just standard dancefloor material. Don't get me wrong there's still a load of great tracks coming out, but I think with the fall of sales there's just a fear to test new formulas or push the boundaries.
