when i said hardcore i actually meant hardcore punk, not techno or 
industrial.  i always see 7" of that stuff released, sometimes a 
33rpm compilation of 4-6 bands on one (!).

i'd say get at least clips of your stuff into mp3 format and put them 
on your website or someplace that is into reviewing or hosting mp3s. 
a few years ago but i forgot what it's called.  you might want to 
talk to DJs too if you want their opinion on the music.  If they 
start asking when your stuff is coming out on vinyl or CD then you'll 
know when and which format to invest in pressing up.
