Such a good artist, interesting person, and a good person. He went through a difficult period after Pariahs Among Outcasts. If not for that, he might have released a few more albums than he ultimately did. I was part of that clusterfuck. I'd asked him to release an LP, and I declined a couple different recordings. Another label did the same thing to him. I wasn't as enthusiastic about his direction as I should have been. I look back now and think I was hoping for an extension of Pariahs Among Outcasts. It was unreasonable, and the material he was kicking out post-Pariahs was good in its own right. Up to that point, if I asked someone to release something, they could have sent me shit on a stick, and I would have released it. It wasn't a matter of being indiscriminate. It was more about giving the bands, or artists, complete artistic freedom. I changed that perspective at some point, and Law was the first time I rejected anything from an artist. I overcompensated and became too discriminate. I hope not to speak for him, but I think that whole period was challenging and frustrating for him. He was looking forward while the rest of us were stuck at his masterpiece. He ran a good label, too.
