"It was niche marketing to the bad guys," says Oliver. "They all know the name Exile. We hit on a label that explains what it does, which is get them out of the community...
...gaudy lead in the polls, a $37 million-and-rising war chest--the Texas Governor, after a month of delivering the same airy, slogan-rich speech, was sounding stale and tired by mid-July. His Republican opponents were calling him the all-money-and-no-message candidate, and the label was beginning to stick. (Sensitive to the charge, Bush half seriously asked his finance chairman if there was any way "to slow down" the flow of contributions.)

In the quasi-fascist recording environment of label-dominated markets, this is almost unheard of production...

While one of the tracks on Arab Strap is explicitly about the record label representative who signed Johnny Marr from the Smiths, on "Electronic Renaissance" the chorus is a revisited version of the Smith's "Panic." Gently mocking many of the current pop bands who have incorporated sophisticated remixing and other mixology, Murdoch sings, "Play a game with your electronics, take a step to the discotheque...Hand in hand with the Electronic Renaissance is the way to go, you're learning, soon you will do the things you wanted...
