We might be the exception to the rule but we do listen to everything
sent to us. Sometimes we're falling on the floor laughing and other
times we've licensed tracks that were sent to us unsolicited.

You'd probably want to do some research on the kind of music the
label puts out. We get loads of stinking "anthem-rock" that has
nothing to do with anything we'd ever even want to do. But we do have
a handful of demos we liked and are waiting for the right project.

Also, ultimitely it's the music that matters but a good clean
presentation makes us more confident that we're dealing with someone
who at least wants to be professional. Arvey makes laser printer
cassette labels and J-cards for cassettes. Even typing is better than
nothing.

I should also say that at the moment, we have no Acid-jazz projects
in the works!
