Just as I said before , whats wrong with wanting to spend time & money on an album and get the best people involved?

I realise that you are pro independent to the point of extreme but the fact is some bands are better suited to indie labels & some to major labels.You make it sound like a stigma to be on a major , but why shouldn`t a band aspire to be something better? You think Radiohead could have had the time & the money to make something like OK Computer on a small label? I doubt it somehow.Nick Cave has been recording in indie labels for over 25 years , his last album was his first on a major & it`s the best thing he`s done in well over a decade as well as one of his most ambitious musically.
There`s good & bad to signing to both types of labels and it`ll take a bit more than saying 'oooh sony are evil' to convince me otherwise.
