Re: [microsound] [OT] Glut of new cds of just no money to spend?

[izam studio <izimizam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also speak with a fair few labels and have released on some.SALES are down
by all about 15-20 % but none have gone out of business and still make money
and in actaul fact due to not having to reply on distributers and poor
prices they pay for cds and instead having a new direct sales market via the
web many labels are making just as much and quicker ! .Its justa  transition
period , people will buy cds until they lose all sense of material want  ,
do you see humanity doing that soon ? everyone paints a personal picture of
reality .Seems its just that the cd buyers have more choice and more crap to
sift through also.People do get bored and i do but i also find MANY labels
have become way to dependant on pleasing dj's or creating what they see has
sure fire sellers and the opposite has happened.For me its all an evolution
and what can we do ? be positive and if you make music make good music and
sell direct as possible and to people .
