    But has any major label released anything halfway decent in the last ten years?

    Sure. Zero 7 and Kinobe (Zomba) kick ass. I think Tantric is pretty good too. There's Moby, Fatboy Slim, Massive Attack/Tricky, Joe Satriani, ... Jet's single is kinda cool. There's pleny of decent suff. It's just mostly drowned out by the crap that gets over-marketed to ensure high sales figures.
