    Symbiote - Symbiote EP

    in 2014

    Posted

    Honestly I simply love this EP. I was so happy reading about it being released on DAT. Never had I thought that some tracks from the tracker world would see the light being released on an actual CD. Tiara is and was one of my absolute favourite goaish tunes. I still ghave ot the FastTracker files and the WAV files exported from MadTracker from the time I was using that software to make tunes. Thank you very much for releasing this Draeke!

    I just found 2 rare Hallucinogen tracks

    well, i do not really think that hallucinogen no. 3 will ever occur.

    to be honest with you, a compilation of tracks would be cool for me. put some unreleased tracks like "strangled cat" on it, some compilation-only tracks like spike and magik and fill up with vinyl-only tracks. i actually wonder why they didn't do that at least in their download-shop - twisted does not even offer all twisted releases there...

    Cell - Hanging Masses

    You must really be missing something, because this is the worst Cell album yet and I suspect most people will agree with it. His previous albums all had greater depth, personality, and were even more melancholic. ;)

     

    don't agree at all, but i prefer hallucinogen over hunab ku also...

    Filteria - Remixes & Unreleaseds (Suntrip Records, Digital release)

    I see several labels making limited editions of 100 and selling at the normal price. I guess they are taking a cut in profit? If just making a limited collectors edition, it couldn't be about massive sales profit anyways.

     

    how can it be about massive sales profit when most labels do not even sell 500 copies of a CD, which hardly makes up for the whole production. as far as i remember from the ~100 limited edition releases that i bought lately, these were burned CDRs, no pressed CDs.

     

    i actually do not see the point of the discussion, honestly. it is 6 EUR for 10 tracks, which is a great deal and a nice christmas gift. so thank you mars, anoebis and of course jannis!

     

    BTW: i would have loved to have the lunar remix of lunar civilization on there. so let's hope for part 2 ;)

    Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland

    600 sold cd's is not much really if you consider you need at least 1000 copies to start pressing. That's the number most distributors will give you. You can do it on your own, but it's not really cost effective until you start with a 1000.

    Most people need to sell the first batch (1000 to break-even) from an investment of 2000 USD$ average. I'm guessing flying the photographer to India and then designing the cover art in this case took this much.

    so if you think about it... it's really not that much... we're not exactly talking about greed here.

     

    if it were not for the last sentence i would 100% agree. but i was not talking about greed, nor am i justifying the illegal downloads. actually i am just talking about the same as you, just from another perspective.

    600 units of a release that is not even out on the market is a lot for the ambient/psychill genre, period. most other labels in ambient/psychill can only dream about that amount of sold units within the runtime - that's all i want to remark here. i know that it is not much sales compared to the mass-market and really urges anyone to buy the music either on CD or digital to empower the musicians to make more music.

    just read on the twisted forums that the album has 600 pre-orders right now (http://www.twistedmusic.com/forums/viewthread/3674/P225/ on page 16). even though i absolutely think that people should buy an album and not download illegally, 600 units of an album that is not even out officially can't be called bad sales. most albums in this genre not even make 500 or 1000 within a year. what did jikkentekki say, he sold 10 or 20 units of his first album?
