The sound became terrible, just all-around shallowness. I should point out to all who weren’t there that the eighties also were among the crappiest years ever. And, also undisputedly, punk had rocked the boat, but here post-punk was more important, and for a while it created something unique, to the point where you were forbidden to remain a spectator: you had to become a participant. There was an undisputable breach with established rock bands. But to me it’s all related – with R&S Records who published Aphex Twin, etc. not to mention the electronic music surge that came later. Sure, the early-to-mid-‘80s was a pretty exciting and innovative period: to see Cabaret Voltaire, WS Burroughs and Joy Division on the same bill, The Pop Group opening for Pere Ubu, PIL. We were still students when we founded the label. Can you tell me a bit about what preceded the founding of the label? Sub Rosa was started at the end of the 80s. "Actually, we have a list of seven criteria", Hinant tells me about the selection process for a new release, "And Fred and I know what they are." He's smiling as he's saying this – but that doesn't mean he'll let me in on the one thing that might give the mystery of Sub Rosa away. Which is not to say that there aren't any rules at work here. Mainly, however, it has followed the subjective interests of its founders. The label has covered sound art and early electro-acoustics, contemporary composition (with a particular focus on the work of Morton Feldman) as well as electronica (a brief stint in the 90s), fresh new work as well as significant re-issues (with a vinyl edition of Francisco López's seminal La Selva just one of many examples).

Over time, three offshoot-sublabels have formed as well as various series tracing historical and conceptual developments within certain areas of the musical soil, which in turn have formed yet more sub-sections. Its catalogue, a fascinatingly multi-branched organism, has proven remarkably resistant to trends, hypes and technological shifts - or, as Hinant drily puts it: "We’re not part of the record industry." Rather, the Sub Rosa discography resembles the growth of a giant tree, continually expanding and branching out, but always springing from the same seed, the same passions. Founded in mid- to late 80s Brussels by Guy Marc Hinant (pictured) and Frédéric Walheer, Sub Rosa is more like an idea, an approach, a way of seeing the world through music. There are labels with a distinct sound, an instantly recognisable design, a single release philosophy. The Vintage gun Laser, obtained from the original MM1 shop.A world onto its own, Brussels' Sub Rosa is "a space where one can breathe" for its founders.

Listed below is a table with all tier types in Murder Mystery 2. The value of a weapon is sometimes referred to by the color label of its value. Although some weapons are rarer than some in the tier above them, none have ever been promoted to a different value, and rarely have any weapons been downgraded a tier, such as in the case of Flames. Value, also known as rarity or tiers is the classification of weapons based on how rare they are to obtain. Not to be confused with Seer, a weapon used to measure value on MM2Values.
