though ritornell is indeed a label, i do tend to regard it as a series, in 
that these releases might just as well come out on mille plateaux. setting 
them aside as a ritornell release seems an effort by achim to highlight them 
as something special, with a subtext that is shared by the artists (or the 
particular musics) featured. >>

fine. then who is the artist and what is their intent? only then can it be 
judged or not judged.
I liked it at first but it grew old fast, real fast,  which is not good for 
the sound artist/performer as they are at mercy to our discussions about this 
.... as it is not theirs but only bears their name.
Say: "Kim's  CD was great but I was trying to see how it connected to Stillups
teypa's which has the same cover?" what is the intent? is there a connection 
or not? Did Kim want his work connected to these other works? Kim? was that 
Kim's intent OR the labels intent? Kim,?/Akira? anyone  on 
Ritornell.(Taylor?) do you feel compromised? just curious, if it's fine with 
you then it will of course be judged as such.
To me if the work was created to be presented in that manner it is fine, but 
if the artist had another vision....
