Totally appropriate, and not unprecedented.
I've actually been getting emails from Martin, and I check out the music. That birdistheworm email is the correct one. The thing is, the inbox is such an avalanche of music, I never respond to emails. So, sometimes people may get the feeling like the my inbox isn't the right place. You can let him know he's on my list of labels to check out, and his emails are exactly what I need.
Cheers,
Dave

W.E.R.F. is one of my favorite off-the-beaten-path labels, and this year and last have been especially strong.I think I'm about to enter an ECM (and ECM-adjacent) binge. I suspect the first touch of Autumn landing has something to d…
