all i can think of is one-off tracks on other people's albums, not a whole aesthetic
i tend to think that people who like the durutti column would like woo but the actual music is not really similar

hey guys. this is stuart who runs emotional rescue. interesting read indeed! Clive from Woo actually keeps a track of any Press and must of found this post as he sent me a nice Word doc of all coverage and this thread was in there.
to answer one question. you're right, i make practically no money from doing the label or it's sister label emotional response and cousin [emotional] especial and even less from a label i co-run with a mate and honest jons called sacred summits (check it!).
i do it for the fun of it and to get the music i love out. there is some £££ reward which i split with the artists, but it's nothing to write home about. the woo, javier bergia and bob chance were the most successful releases also for info. 7" and 12" EPs you really don't make very much on, but LPs can bring in more, this is how LITA etc do well. plus they have proper press budgets while i have none.
but the fact to see something like Into The Heart out and people buying it is enough. i even spent Saturday afternoon sticking the vinyl and inner sheets in 300 copies of the repress (screen printed) sleeve for my troubles. hence i don't do many screen printed releases and let the factory get on with fulfilling!
anyway, enjoyed the reading a lot and tx for the interest!
enjoy.
best
