The obvious difference to me (if we're not looking at color), is that Compost, Vega and Duplaix are house, downtempo or broken beat artists, and Matthew Dear would more easilly be grouped with the clicky stuff, so I think that drawing a comparison between them because Backspin Media does the press is not terribly informative. Press companies will cover a fairly wide range of acts so I'm not persuaded that this has any significance to the discussion at hand. Presumably you'd mention those other labels because of the accolades they get as well? If it's not clear why Ghostly is receiving more attention from the US journalists, I would think that feeds Tom's arguments more than anything else.
