You pretty much hit it on all cylinders right there.

I can't even remember the last time I bought a track from Cocoon.

The Mole's remix of "Hispaniola", Guy Gerber's "Akropolis", and Adam Proll "Abaddon" have all gotten plays from me recently.

I still think they release a fair bit of quality, but what they put out that I don't care for generally really, really puts me off.

And the fact that not a single track from this years compilation lasted more than a week for me was pretty disappointing as well, especially after how epic last years was.

More or less my sentiments.

I think there have been a few times during my listening to one of their compilations in which I groaned and slammed the 'next' button on my CD player.

compilations = good
tracks = as said, hit/miss

They have big names but the big names seem to release their mediocre tracks with cocoon for some reason.

I'm deciding about the Wasps under a boat release. I like it but probably no lasting power.

cocoon is more about branding than anything else.

I've played "Wasps" a few times, but yeah - no real staying power at all, and after hearing one of the worst techno DJ's I have ever heard play it opening for Konrad Black on Saturday night I don't think I ever want to hear it again.

I think a lot of times Soma Quality Recordings is the label that releases the quality I wish Cocoon would.

how was konrad?

big names also tend to release their hot fire on their own labels or the one they are primarily associated with.
