Hey everyone!!

The disaster that struck Pakistan and India has decimated villages and left thousands homeless and without family. Its one of the worst earthquakes ever to hit and in huge need of aid! Only measuring 7.9 on the scale it has affected many towns and and villages and was felt over 700 kilometres (435 miles) away......many have not been sent aid at all.

Is there any organisers out there that willing to put together another CD to raise funds to help the poeple!

All my thoughts and postive vibes to the affected areas, especially to the mothers and fathers that lost children when 2 schools collapsed.           :: Life can be as bitter as dragon tears

http://www.thescribeonline.com/media/paper631/news/2005/10/12/News/7.6-Quake.Hits.India.And.Pakistan-1017225.shtml

The Holy Month of Ramadan commences - One 7.6 magnitude earthquake, one continent and hundreds of thousands shattered across South Asia. The quake hit Saturday at 8:50 a.m. (11:50 p.m. ET Friday, 0350 GMT), 5th day of Ramadan, 1426 A.H., 8th of October 2005. The quake was felt across a wide swath of South Asia from central Afghanistan to western Bangladesh. Its epicenter was about 60 miles northeast of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad: Muzaffarabad (Capital of Pakistan administered Kashmir). It swayed buildings particularly in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, but also in the capitals of three nations, with the damage spanning at least 250 miles from Jalalabad in Afghanistan to Srinagar in northern Indian territory.
It was also felt in other major cities, including Islamabad and Lahore, India's capital of New Delhi, as well as Uri in northern Indian territory and Chittagong city of Bangladesh. With an increasing death toll from 3,000 to 20,000 and now exceeding 30,000, this is definitely the worst disaster in Pakistan's history.

Rescuers struggled to reach remote, mountainous areas and stricken residents of a devastated city scavenged for food and gasoline, a day after the massive earthquake struck Pakistan and India, wiping out entire villages, in addition to having extreme negative implications on the nation's infrastructure severing transportation links and knocking out power and water supply. For hours, aftershocks from the quake rippled across the region as rescue teams struggled to clear piles of debris in a desperate search for survivors. Hospitals evacuated quake victims, some hooked up to intravenous drips, onto their lawns, fearing tremors could cause more damage.
As night fell, rain and hail disrupted the recovery effort. It goes without saying that a significant proportion of the student population at the University of Bridgeport is comprised of Pakistanis, many of whom have been in touch with friends and family back home over the phone and e-mail.

The Death toll is now up to 42,000 people!

The Tsunami album was realy nice .. So I cant see why not .. The aid is sendt, but unfortunaly it cant reach. And people are mad about the aid, so they plounder the aid trucks, instead of sharing the aid. I know why, people are desperate. But plundring aid trucks because they want as much aid as possible for their family, seems a bit wrong to me. but but.. jaja. ..

Wonder when the california line will shake ... Thats gonna be a massive destructive shake.

If a compilation is released using the same concept as the tsunami benefit compilation, I will surely buy it + recommend it to others.

Agreed. 3 discs to the price of one:

1.Psy-Chill
2.Psytrance (ok, the commercial sides of this scene demands full-on to be included, so what about a disc 2 with some full-on tracks, and some psytrance tracks?)
3.Old skool goa

If in this pakistan earthquake were europeans and americans, iam sure that lot more aid was sent to there...in my opinion its sad that the ocidental goverments only act in a massive way when ppl from their countrys are in the disasters...but for what iam seeing in the news, "some" aid was sent, and "some" military forces are there to help the local population.

About this idea of the benefict cd is amazing!
i have bought the tsunami cds, and iam very satisfied with this.
iam sure i will buy earthquake benefict cd if it cames out.
hope it comes...

cheers

Jesus... Here we go again. Why is it in this scene that after one idea people always jump on the bandwagon and want more? If the psyscene would make benefit cd's for every disaster that occurs, we'd have albums like that popping up all the time. And where do you draw the line? I mean, thousands of individuals die each day right? What do we do for those people?

In my opinion people who get struck by disaster are just unlucky. It can happen to anyone. It's the risk of inhabiting this planet.           "Subconscious unravels at the point of death, and all time it has known erupts into a moment. As death extinguishes us, so we become it."

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Aiding those people will only succeed if you aid them yourself. Sending money/donating will not help much. Most of the money gets stuck in the pockets of those who don't deserve it.           "Subconscious unravels at the point of death, and all time it has known erupts into a moment.

I don't want to sound bad but making CD each time something happening in the world isn't a good option, you can directly donate your money to red cross without feeding label (it's fame), CD copyprint organizations and so on.
Also i don't get why there is no CD about US residents who dead in two recent events?
other question, as far as i understand all these global event directly have to do with change of earth/global warming/and other theories, all of them state it is only a beggining so! keep your money for yourself and if you are rich give money directly to poor nor via 3rd party.

In my eyes what you do is really ugly. Using ppl death for commercional reasons.

I dont care what you people say, but when its an huge disaster like this when hardly any of those people are getting aid where they should, something should be done.

Thousands of children die every month from Malaria, but as you must know that they get millions of dollars and funding and research into helping this getting solved, they are doing all they can. Its a long term thing.

This on the other hand is a huge scale disaster that happened all of a sudden and has THOUSANDS of people homeless!

@ Willy Wonka.....as far as I know the Tsunami CD was NOT used for any commercial reasons! It was to do our best to help others in time of need! And its not like we have made dozens of these.....this was the first and already you are bitching!

How would you feel if you lost your home, family, friends and everything you knew around you!

And as Denis said...America is a nation that can fund itself in a way.....the tsunami and pakistan disaster affected poor nations over a massive area!

I real shocked at those comments!!          :: Life can be as bitter as dragon tears

Um...It's my understanding that Organic did the Tsunami CD because they actually *cared* (novel concept, eh?), not because they wanted to become more famous. I think a benefit CD (in general) is often a good way to funnel money into a good cause that people might not ordinarily donate on their own. Do you think that all of the 5000 people that bought the Tsunami CD would have given the exact same amount of money to a charity organization if the CD wasn't made?

Yeah, earthquakes (cause of the Tsunami and the current disaster in Packistan) are because of global warming. Don't use your car or else California might be falling off into the ocean soon!

Huh? What commercial reasons? The label doesn't make any money. The artists don't make any money. Yeah sure, copyright orgs, CD printers and perhaps distributors might make a little (or did the distributor take 0% comission for the Tsunami CD?), but for a small run CD, it's not going to be so much. You are feeding the "corporate machine" a grain of rice. And, as I originally said, it is a way to funnel money to a charity that the people buying the CD might normally spend on a nother CD.

Personally, I think it is nice if somebody wants to use their specific talent to help out a bad situation. What can a label do? They can make a benefit CD. What can a party organizer do? They can organize a benefit party. What can a painter do? The can donate money from selling their painting. There is absolutely nothing ugly about it in my eyes.

For the original poster - I personally don't know if a benefit CD for *every* big disaster that happens would be as successful as the Tsunami CD was. I've seen the term "disaster fatigue" used to describe the apparent apathy towards the most recent earthquake. It's a shame, but I really think people begin to become numb to these things when it happens so often as in this year. I'm sure a lot of people would still support it, but I doubt you'd see the huge positive reaction from artists, labels & CD buyers as there was with the Tsunami benefit.

Although I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
