Hey everyone,
Ive been through these forums for awhile now and know theres some real talent here. My goal is to help get the world exposed to new artists especially the ones with a truly unique sound. Im going to be releasing a 2 disc comp. So far some of the artists are Karash, Noon, Terranoise, Kashyyyk, Skunk of Satan, Netrosystem, Shadai, Extazya, Oil, Oil vs. Aghori Tantrik, Naked Tourist, and FaceHead.
I would like to call all interested artists to send some mp3's of their best or most unique songs.
Ok the drawback is that I have little or no money to pay up front at this point so either we can work out that I pay you after release, i pay you in cd's, or whatever else would make it work for you. If you ask any of the artists ive worked with before they will tell you im not a business man. Im honest and up front. Im just putting this out there because I have a couple spots to fill on the discs and it would be a good opportunity for a new artist to get some exposure.
pm me or email mp3s to info@anomalisticrecords.com
(sendspace preferred)
or find me on MSN
im_facehead@yahoo.com
Im open to any style that isnt cheese.
peace

My experience of working with Chuck and Anomalistic records has been an incredibly positive one. Chuck's a good guy and just wants to get music out there. He's got a shrewd ear and a golden heart... Hey Chuck, for your next one after this one, I'll contribute a track for it too... 
I was quite glad to participate in the Benefit V/A and will be glad to help out any other time too... In fact I've got a couple of friends that I'll send your way...

i think its a bad deal for artists. sorry chuck.. nothing personal at all
i would agree to give free track if u agree to give free cd's for evryone who wants... fair no?
but if u dont have any money to pay upfront to the artist , which their music is what your label based on, and u say u only want to help them..
well , how much u have for the realese party and promotion and advertise?? or u want to sell 200 copies , and this will be so helping new artist promotion how??
to be "good guy who just want the music out there" is not good enough reason to have label this days. simply since there are tones of them. and since all pay nothing , i cant see why one is better/diffrent from others.
good label today is a good business.
good artist is the one knows he have gold in hnd , not doughts if its worth something...
do you realy belive a track is worth less then cleaning toilet for couple o hours?
i think if u offer pay after realese from profits u must guarantee to the artists that u gonna publish this evrywhere and advertise as much as possible.
-this all in my point of view , after making evry mistake possible , realese with such terms etc. i know this isnt the right way. not for artists nor for succesfull label.
for artist looking to get realesed , if u believe u have good stuff , u should ask for good money.
the other options is to give your good work for free. i think its wrong. specialy when 400 copies sold still makes nice profit for the label.
third option is if u not sure its that good , then get back to work till u do!
i hope i made my point chuck , and why im not so positive about the idea... sorry again u seems like cool guy , the most helping way i see is that u buy the realeses of your favorite artists and come to their gigs and praise their name to other peaple and specialy good party org. and such.
also i dont see almost any good labels who arent also party org. which use both to promote each other.
psytrance is beyond "pioneer level" for long time now..

yeah man , u have good intentions im sure , but the problem with the `scene` as I as a consumer and many many others have is that its all going downward quality wise .. too many labels (good guys who dont want money , just to promote `talent`blabla ) around ... and we get flooded by low quality shit releases... what really ought u to do IMO is , to release high quality professional stuff from HQ artists .. see if u can get some people to donate tracks if they fit the criteria .. else im afraid , all ull end up with is a mailbox full of ``hey bro , release me`` type kids with (dare i say) even worse production than me  .lol ..
just my 2 bits , best of luck .. but do give a thought to what i said here .. again , ur a nice guy .. best of luck !

I think this is the essence of why American labels have had so much trouble.
Being a label alone isn't enough, you need to throw regularly scheduled, consistently PROFITABLE parties to raise money to pay artists and cover unexpected business expenses of the label. Eventually revenue comes through months after the CD has been released, but even that might not happen if the CD doesn't sell as well as others.
The vast, vast majority of parties I've seen in California over the last 7 years have been lucky to just break even. Even in "big" scenes like SF, it just isn't big enough to make money, all the DJs and even local artists generally play for free. Or beer.

wowow relax all
tsabeat first of all if you would have cared to negotiate with chuck and get into serious convo, you would see he would likley offer you some money and also some cds.
secondly, from what i unserstand chuck has been playing in many festivals and promoting the first anomalistic album everywhere.
the guy is not cheating or lying to you. he is saying it like it is, and believe me from my experiance with him whatever he says will happen does happen. if the deal doesn't appeal to you just dont submit a track to the label.
why always this attack mode on these forums.

cool bro, didn't mean personally at you either, just the overall mood here (recently?).
there is always this "skazi suxxxx" type of vibe, but when someone is actively seeking new talent then he gets the "you will just get fruity loops tracks from kids dude, you are not a serious label" type of stuff.
cheers

faxi mate , it is far from cheating and lie like the "other thread labels" i agree 100%.
i simply think promotion = 99% money
and if he dont have..
for example i never heard of the first anomalistic release.. and i read alot of mushroom magazine usualy when i get a chanse , revolve magazine , evry day on saiko and alot of place where can be advertise for money (not forums , unless they have banner which is much more effective , offcourse depend on the numbers of users). spook for example did promote as hell. i could see my name anywhere and thnx for that.and altho the latency he did payd me as we agree after endless discounts just for the record (as said in this other topic)
as said before (and defintly not attacking)
in my personal opinion its not good deal what i hear here..
if we started the convo in msn , i wouldnt say what i think here but in person , but the offer is here so i want to answer here.. for the best of the so called scene - aka quality music realeses and good payment for all involved. and its 100% possible.
btw skazi rules , as much i hate his late work i appriciate his first album very much and also i know he is funny guy from his answers in this forum.

How many of you have seen what the scene is like here in the U.S.? It's not easy here. We have the "authorities" always trying to shut us down, we can't get huge crowds. Where I'm from we are very lucky if we get 600 - 700 people at an event.
We have to do something to try and get the scene going here. I'm constantly trying to get DJ's here to start making their own music. When I release, I will probably release on an American label just be cause we need more coming from here. I appreciate someone just trying to get the music out here. Because that "is" what is needed here. The more people we can get into it, the better chance we have of making this scene grow here and being able to turn out big enough events to support huge releases etc... It just takes time and people willing to lose a little to make it happen....Come here and you'll find out...

ok man fair enough i get what you are saying.... but still, i think chuck is a good guy to work with and must say i have had a positive experiance and would be glad to work with him the future.
also just one thing about profit...
200x10 tracks = 2000
300 mastering
1000 manufacture
300 some payed promotions
3600 album total price
5 about the money you get from distros for each sale
400x5 - 2000
(all figures in euros)
i hardly call losing 1600euro making money bro, especially when 200euro per track and 300euro for promotion is modest.

im sorry u feel that way , and more sorry my album promotion was not presented to you anywhere.. we had nice advertise in saiko and tranceguide and i made a tour in australia for the album realese , usa i hope will come soon.
but if we aint aim to same goals so it make sense we wont work with same methods.
and labelpuppet , i give more then 50-60 tracks for free on the internet from my first 4 year of work for happy peaple , like faxi as well 10 tracks for free for labels similar to chuck's idea.if he want one of those i will say realy its all p.l.u.r or good karma only is what involve with this.
let me assure u he will want top-quality stuff that no one have before.
again and again , its not personal here , its offer that is coming from alot of labels this days , and im talking generaly. i do believe he is great guy , with good heart and with the wrong way , thats it.
today i realise i was simply insecure with the music and down-grade it to "game" level , not cirious way of life/living , which need some money , any label i realesed with will tell u im not greedy or anywhere near it.
if u aint too angry try soulseek or emule. my sharing server is down atm so i cant offer free link. dont be surprised its not top-quality , the real good stuff is well payed and realesed on great labels.
even soulseek promote better then 200 copies.
perhaps u should check some facts first before taking my spaceship down to this weird existance called earth
