Re: [microsound] nin



Yes I have wondered if many listeners will assume the quality of the music is sub-par due to it being "free"

I read many critics who seemed surprised that the Radiohead album In Rainbows was a "real album." like they assumed it would be a demo or a throw away.

Well, I guess that, being a small or unknown band, you can be suspected of giving away your music instead of selling it because you are not able to sell it. But if more and more well-known bands like NIN do it, the negative aspect will disappear, at least I hope so...

My girlfriend asked me an interesting question last night regarding the giving away of music.

She wondering if I could see anything detrimental about it... And it's been on my mind. Is this only positive for the artist and listeners? Any negatives at all?
