Swim is the label run by Colin Newman (of the group Wire) and
his wife Malka Spiegal. It's an adventurous electronic label
that's definitely worth checking out. Recently they inked a
U.S. distribution deal through World Domination, which is
why their releases are cheaper and easier to get in the U.S.
If you want to get an overview of Swim, there's a great 2-CD
compilation available. Unfortunately I have forgotten the
name of it at the moment! Another release that members of
this list might enjoy is a drum'n'bass album by Ronnie and
Clyde. (I can't remember the name of that one either...
haven't had my coffee this morning.)
Hope this helps.
