V/Vm and the label V/Vm Test came into being in January 1996. The best way to describe the whole mess since then is to utter that well known description which best sums up output.

"The best of the worst of the worst of the best."

Since 1996 their have been numerous releases on the label by V/Vm and numerous other worldwide vagabonds and misfits. Indeed some of these releases have achieved critical success whilst at the same time being critically abused by others. It's all one big contradiction, it's subjective audio and you are encouraged to approach it as you will and form an opinion after exposure. Love or hate is usually the norm.

During the last ten years the label somehow has survived like a punch drunk boxer clinging to the ropes and refusing to throw in the towel despite numerous legal threats from other labels and virtually being ignored by many in the music industry for being outspoken and forthright when it comes to the state of what is going on out there in music land.

V/Vm and V/Vm Test doesn't fit into the cosy world of how labels should be. I don't want to sell music on iTunes (refusing to let them when they asked me), or have a big hit, or suck upto musicians i hate just because it may be benificial.

I survive thanks to those of you out there who buy releases and support the label. I create and release stuff which i find of interest and hope others find entertaining.

For the whole of 2006 i worked on creating audio each day and give it away for free (V/Vm 365). Sure it might be nuts but it's better than pressing a cd up and touring around with that for a whole year like the rest of the "Lets bore you by sitting behind my laptop brigade."

Right now i'm working on a number of projects virtual and physical which hopefully will see the light of day or segments of your hard drive somepoint soon.

Thanks for your interest and support.
