    @Purple Sunray I disagree. Since I have no experience about those things, I don't see the harm of doing some background research. If anything I need to have a round view of the things included for such a task. When I start talks with a label/artist I need to show that I at least have some idea of what I'm talking about. It's not like people know me, or I have friends in the industry so they can blindly trust me. That said, I really enjoy your enthusiasm

    The need to physically own something and being a collector are two different things imo. And don't forget that the medium is a form of art as well, another reason to actually own the cd. Returning on topic: I am currently trying to figure out the process for the extra income from kickstarter (taxes, registering a business etc etc). It is mind boggling I wonder if small amounts like this just go under the radar without causing any problems. I mean, what if 50 people gathered around and contributed to just print an album they love just for fun, i doubt the taxman would pay them a visit

    Do we want to know?

    Knowing what to avoid is equally important. That said, if you don't know what to do then you just stay in limbo don't you? Hopefully, when the time comes the psynews people will be enough to point me to the right direction. Either way, sooner or later I will give it a go, be sure of that.

    @Purple Sunray And that's why I started this thread Maybe I didn't make it clear but this is just a theoretical discussion. It goes without question if I ever reach the point that I feel is doable I will contact all the people involved first.

    It is part of the future releases. Hehe

    I can't say I don;t envy you in a way. More releases available for you to buy, cheaper, easier to get etc etc. However I love my music and I love my cds as well. And since I don't to any crazy extents I don't see any reason to stop. Moreover, my 10 months daughter loves playing with my cds anyway, especially that pink jewel case of Chi-A.D.

    Remember that some day there was not a market for Crop Circles album either. And I'm talking about a limited number only, probably around 100 copies. It would essentially be like an inside thing. If we want something as a community we can publish it ourselves. Self funded in a way That should make things a bit easier. As for copyrights etc etc most of the music I have in mind is available by the artists themselves (and mostly free) so why not? They will get as much as possible back.

    Just started the thread and we already have requests for future releases, lol.

    @antic604 No worries That's the reality anyway. And I understand the cd sales are really low, but is a number like a 100 so out of reach? Maybe the label owners could shed some light, although I'm afraid it will be dark as well @U.F.Orb That's the spirit @psychedelic chipmunk Hard to explain, it has been discussed many times before. In the end it is a matter of preference and whether you actually OWN something digital. I have the same issues with books. Reading a pdf just doesn't do it for me. And books are a lot bulkier than cds. I'll soon need another room for my collection

    I am an oldschooler Goa fan, and as most people at my age we don’t do good with digital releases, especially if you have the collectors bug. But this is the 21st century and since our music is not commercial either, it makes sense that a lot of releases are only digital. Free, quality digital only releases, don’t make things any easier for me. So what happens with that? So far I was able to push those releases to the back of my mind and pretend that they do not exist. However, there are some releases they keep coming back to haunt me. Notably, these are: The two lives of Hol Baumann Live At Sonic Live Nuit Hypnotique #4 The live versions of Elysium tracks: Live Versions The Live Remixes So I decided to print them myself and make them look like a proper release. They don’t look professional by any way, but still they are good enough to quench my thirst. For some time. And then it hit me. Kickstarter, 100 copies limited edition, 2xCD 8-panel digipacks. I didn’t see any reason they artists would refuse, I wouldn’t lose any money since all expenses would be included in the Kickstarter campaign price (if successful), all the extra income would go to the artists (I have a full time job, I don’t do it to make money, if any), could it really happen? Ehh, no. Too many things to consider for someone that has no experience in things like that would probably make my first try a disaster. And here I am, asking your advice, help, recommendations. Do you think that there is a market for that? Would you contribute to the campaign? Do any current label managers, artists, graphic designers want to help/get involved or just express your opinion? Everyone getting involved would be paid of course and the sum asked would affect the final amount price asked on kickstarter. For now other albums/comps I would like to see released in physical format are: LSD’s digital releases All Is Not Lost, All Is Dub (The Remixes) The Cerronnos Dub Rituals EP Zion604’s digital releases (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven) Entheogenic’s digital releases Gaia Sophia, Enthymesis, Anthropomorphic, A Singularity Encoded Please get involved. What I only need at this point is your opinion. Discuss away

    Chi-A.D. album is amazing.
  13. thanosp81
    Just got it. Looks sweet, Can't wait to finish work https://www.discogs.com/Chi-AD-Earth-Crossing/release/8896306

    From what I here from the samples a 2xCD release is justified
  15. thanosp81
    Actually, that looks quite good. And the idea of plugins can take it to next level.

    I think he means the booklet?

    Min: £4.3k Med: £7.6k Max: £13.0k About 1.1k cds. Over 100 with no price. I don't really care about expensive, rare, out of print etc editions. The cheaper I find it, the happier I am (as long as it's legit). So far I've never paid much more than £20 for a cd.

    Do you have a favourite cataloguing software? Do you even use one? Or do you think your discogs account is enough? Personally, for more than a decade I use OrangeCD. Cheap to buy, you keep it forever, constantly updated and has everything you need (and more). So, what program do you use? (if any)
  20. thanosp81
    Already available for pre-order from zion604
