Subsidiary / Associated
Labels
As with so many labels, Fourth Dimension has also been responsible for housing
a subsidiary or two and, although they no longer exist (outside some unsold
stock), here is everything you may or may not wish to know about them...
INSTINCTIVE RECORDS
This was activated in 1993 to either introduce new groups or work with others
perhaps already associated with Fourth Dimension in one form or another via
a series of 7" compilations, as noted below.

so ended Instinctive Records' industrious lifespan... |

and Paul Wright (bass). Songs include 'G.A.O.T.U.', 'Candleskin', 'Godsend',
