Most respected? By who? Moby's accountant? HMV retailers? A coterie of reviewers? Mute are hardly on a par with an outfit like Peacefrog, who've selflessly championed numerous Detroit artists over the years. There's a label deserving of my respect. But I guess shifting a few more Moby units at least helps Mute pay for those expensive-looking Pan Sonic etc. ads in The Wire ;-) If the cap fits... Wes
