The reason for less releases on ADR than SSP is due to the pace of the artists. Quality over quantity as especially in this genre, there is far less quality and an overabundance of pathetic garbage to sift through.
Not trying to argue, just curious, but what do you mean by this? Are you unhappy with what people you've contacted for ADR are giving you to release or do you just get overwhelmed with awful demo submissions? It seems to be a constant complaint you have with noise/industrial about way too much mediocre shit getting released all the time (which I would agree with you on), but how does it affect you specifically unless you're just getting flooded with submissions to ADR?
I would say it affects every label. Within PE is not THAT big obstacle, since most bands are not THAT productive, yet still many labels are in situation where they might issue 4 new tapes, while 1-2 of them ain't that good compared to rest, but they are released because labels aim is just to "release".
It is different from labels who aim for unique/different releases, where things of course may have different value to eachother, but hard to compare.
I think it's very valid explanation of any label why their pace is slow: releases have to matter. Quantity of new releases supplied to hungry fanbase ain't good enough reason alone even is most people would be happy about it. If one is listener/buyer/distributor/reviewer whoever, it does affect you.
