I've deleted the references to Bill Frisell, Anthony Braxton and Charles Lloyd as "early" ECM artists. Braxton was never an ECM artist per se, and, to my knowledge, only appears on two ECM recordings, "Circle" with Corea and "Conference of the Birds" with Holland. Lloyd and Frisell both joined the label after its first, and most influential decade of work. I've substituted Ralph Towner in place of the Frisell reference as he was/is both affiliated with the label earlier, and frankly much more representative of the "early ECM sound" Silverlake Bodhisattva 21:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
One other Braxton appearance on ECM: Marion Brown's "Afternoon of a Georgia Faun". 207.200.116.71 22:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
I've heard that the title ECM is simply Manfred Eichner's initials backwards. I've never herad editions of contemporary music.
I categorized ECM as a Classical record label. I think winning the Gramophon awards with Schumann string quartets is enough to win the right for any record label to be in the Classical music record label category. --Satúrnus 11:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
