I guess that a lot of the dislike of Primate on this board comes from the fact that the label just spewed out so much material--most of it below average--in the name of making a buck. Just pumping out fodder with only a few worthy records in between.
However, I’m guilty as charged at liking some of them. To this day I still love Joel Mull’s “Inter Primate Express” remix as one of my all time favorites and also rather enjoyed the recent Endangered Species album of German artists. And of course the Beyer “Manipulated” remix is golden.
I don’t know, I guess it comes down to forgiving the label for flooding the market with a bunch of below average records vs. applauding them the occasional good that they’ve done.
