hit and miss.
some really great tracks have come out of it, but by the time they are released or promo'd properly most of the tracks have been banged out for months by the usual suspects.

You pretty much hit it on all cylinders right there. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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