Jikkenteki Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 wtf ???? this scene gets worse from day to day.... asking money for adresses??? Personally I don't see what the problem is. The price is cheap and you aren't paying for the addresses so much as paying for the hours and hours of time you save compared to hunting all of that info down by yourself. The music industry is filled with these kinds of directories and their primary purpose is to save people time and give them access to resources they might have otherwise missed searching on their own. Faxi's contact sheet does the same thing. I bought it and have zero regrets about it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine for you Personally I don't like the way the scene is going in the past years, it's all becoming very commercial, starting from hundreds of labels opening over mammut festival events with sponsoring, artist merchandise, now "industry address books" and so on. Nowadays it's more or less a pure hedonistic & commercial scene in my view where everybody tries to make his bucks. But yeah that's only my opinion and I'm not sure if that all is the right path, but well that's just me. May I ask...where's the spirit gone? When writing my last post I used the wrong words, sorry for that, it just made me angry to see this and all the other tendencies and also other posts where Faxi complains about money or downloading issues and "getting lost" in a squat where imho those guys try to go another alternative autonomous way, but it seems he likes it more commercial. So sorry again for my harsh words in the other post, I should have chosen more friendlier ones and maybe should start learning ignoring such things. But all in all that's the way I think about it.

So sorry again for my harsh words in the other post, I should have chosen more friendlier ones and maybe should start learning ignoring such things. But all in all that's the way I think about it. I can see where you are coming from. However, from my point of view the scene has been pretty commercial for as long as I have been involved in it (about 9 years actively now I guess), just as there has always been people complaining that the scene has become too commercial. Personally I think it really hasn't changed all that much in terms of commercialness and people trying to make a buck. Yes there has been a pointless explosion of labels and undoubtable some of these people are in it for money. However I think back to around 2001 or so when my partner and I in PAR-2 first started talking the possiblity of releasing something on our own and one of the major factors in our decision then was that at that time there were hardly any labels at all taking risks with newer artists or more alternative approaches to psy (back then it seemed like it was all minimal or GMS). I think the label explosion happened due to a few different factors. One was several years where there seemed to be very little options for new guys, coupled with the decline of vinyl as the medium of the psy djs (cds are significantly cheaper to print) and a general drop in CD printing costs around that period as well. Suddenly there was a new option for a lot of artists whole, more than wanting to make money, simply wanted to be heard. Now of course things has swung completely the opposite way, there are so many people releasing things that still no one is getting heard. Give it several years and nature will take care of a good deal of the problem. As to where the spirit is? I think its where you put it yourself.

Give it several years and nature will take care of a good deal of the problem. As to where the spirit is? I think its where you put it yourself. Yeah, I agree in more or less all you wrote above. I'm in the scene the same time as you, maybe a bit longer, and agree that it has been pretty commercial since that time, probably also before. Maybe with getting older I see things more different than in the past. And to be honest I was also part of the commercial structures as co-founder of Trishula and Ajana Records though I'm out of the business since some time. When we started the label there weren't many nighttime music labels around but in the past years the so called "dark" has become quite trendy and I think you can see the development with dozens of labels now. (Well, if all that so called "dark" is psychedelic is another discussion, personally I dont like that term). But the bubble will blast soon, hehehehe and we'll see who will remain. Well for me music and label never was for money and I'd be happy if ppl would start making their money outside of the scene in normal jobs instead of wanting to make their living from the scene. Most do so I think, but there still are some and probably will always be who try to make their funds. But my former background is DIY/HC/Punk and when getting in touch with goatrance I was amazed by the similar structures e.g. in illegal outdoor events and DIY parties, and maybe that's the difference. I was never fond of commercial structures in cultural scenes. Especially when it comes to psychedelic.... commercialism and psychedelics don't match imo.
