FLR was set up in 1993 and was the ultimate Indie label doing what a great Indie labels should do. Start new music trends, discover and promote new music genres and artists. Put out innovative production and have legendary promotions.
They started the Cult themes trend in the 90's, which was to do new innovative versions of Cult T.V and Film Themes like Mission Impossible, Batman, Man from Uncle, Stingray and The Bond themes. These new versions had great innovative productions and arrangements by cult record producer Russell C. Writer (often referred to as the new Joe Meek). But it also gave a great platform to promote new talent by marrying up new artists with a cult theme. It helped break many artists who then got their original material heard. You can hear a few examples of the cult themes here.
