I agree with you 100%. I remember back in high school, sitting in my bed room, reading liner notes I kept coming across the name "Flood" as producer (Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Curve, NIN, PWEI, etc, etc) so I started looking for stuff he worked on. Would have been easier with the internet if someone had invented it yet..

I also love finding a cool record company... Ninja Tunes, WaxTrax!, 4AD, etc...
