Effect of Sony DADC warehouse fire

[kishnevi]

I don't recognize most of the names of the labels listed here, but being a middle aged American,  it would be surprising if I did, since most of them seem to be rock/rap oriented.  But the name Naive stuck out at me.  Are there any other classical-oriented labels here that I don't recognize?

Naive also has a pop/electronica wing, but their website doesn't have any info yet. Didn't see any classical labels there either - I think most these days are distributed by Naxos, harmonia mundi, and in the USA Qualiton.

Naive. Ouch.

And obviously the assorted non-classical labels. No one's music deserves to burn in a warehouse.

D'aww, even the heavy metal dudes are going to suffer.

I would contest this.

Nowadays it's sad news (UK riots) after sad news (massacre in Norway) after sad news (Earthquake in Japan). Nothing good happens anymore...

As if these independent labels didn't need to struggle enough against commercial crap.

That's a huge loss and a gigantic shame. There will probably be trickle down effects that will affect all genres in the market.
