No-one is knocking the track, or the fact that it's popular, but merely UR making a big song and dance about being independent and underground and then licensing the track to major labels.

The reason jaguar was so popular is that everyone played it despite of their genre' of choice. I've heard it on many weird obscure mixes, including trance and Progressive house mixes. The track , in my opinion, isn't a deep underground sounding track anyway. I would expect it to be licensed out to more mainstream outlets. it's taking advantage of the full potential of the song. Actually, I'm more suprise that I haven't heard it in a commercial.

Robert Taylor: >If they were stick to their principles, they wouldn't sell any of their >records to the big chainstores. But of course they do. Submerge have no control over their records ending-up in chainstores. that's down to the distributor. they know their records are carried by HMV, Tower et al, and they can't do anything about that, but they still want ppl to support "Mom and Pop" stores in preference to the majors. with regard to the licencing, personally i see no harm in it... without the success of Jaguar would Submerge have had their new building, would there be so many wicked new records coming out of their operation, would Submerge be able to support and nurture talented ppl who otherwise might not get a chance? Submerge make a point of being true to themselves, being "underground" as we like to perceive it. in my eyes there's a difference between working within the confines of the industry in order to survive, develop, and grow, and working within the industry in order to buy yourself a penthouse in Monte Carlo. maybe you don't see a distinction there... but i do. rob _________________________________________________________________ Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
