Is it true?
When I was at Fullmoon Festival '05 in Germany I've bought some CD's at Spirit Zone's shop. The price of one CD was 6 Euro, while 4 CD's were avaiable for the price of 20 Euro. I was more than happy to see such a discount (I've bought myself f.e. some old Space Tribe albums, "Noosphere - Aqua", "Shiva Chandra - Subsonic", "Element - Full Moon" etc.), when the guy who sold the CD's told me that "the label is closing down". At first I didn't believe that and forgot all about it, enjoying my shoping spree. After I came back home from the festival I started to think whether the guy was right all along... After all many artists who were the primary rooster of Spirit Zone are long gone from their mother-label. Space Tribe has his own label called Space Tribe Music, the new Electric Universe album is said to be released somewhere else than S.Z. and another S.Z. old-timer (Shiva Chandra) is releasing his album called "Change Of Air" on Sinn Tec Records. What is more, I've heard a rumour that Antaro is not interested in the label anymore. Last but not least, I've checked the label's website http://www.spiritzone.de and it's not working.
Can someone confirm or deny my "what if's"? Blue Room Released, Flying Rhino, Matsuri Productions, Transient Records... All of them being great and legendary labels... Are we seeing another one biting the dust?

It was an Spirit Zone Release, Etnica "Fractal Gates" that started me into psy trance. Antaro and Co. have been inspirational from the first day. The label will be trully missed!!!!!
BOM! |

Sad indeed.....
but I have to say, I am not surprised if this is true....
Unfortunately Trance Labels are not designed to survive in this "psy-Jungle" ! There are far too many labels, artists plus the fact the main income of the labels is still selling CDs!
Spirit Zone had a huge list of the best (in terms of quality and performance) acts! Of course as Lucas Aly mentioned, Spirit Zone is immortal...(as Blue Room, Matsuri, Flying Rhino....etc..)
best regards

I'm very worried about this in a global way... The last sentence you wrote Templar^ is symptomatic..
For sure some people will argue that it's the way of things.. labels open, live, die, other follow and so on..
But here we have nearly all the true pionneers of this music that die one after the other.. And to go on improving and going forward, one have to know where he comes from, definitaly.. And I have the feeling that most of the "new born" labels today don't really learn the lessons that label like Matsuri, Blue roOm and Flying Rhino gave...
Lucas, nice one..

Unfortunately (or fortunately, it depends the point of view), the evolution of the "psy" music causes these major changes in our scene!
I can't imagine labels like Matsuri Productions releasing the music of today....it doesn't fit! therefore the "original" labels are shutting down....there is no market to sell....so, there is no income....so they close down....sad....but TRUE !

Sad, but it's just the way things go. Styles have changed a lot over the years, and some of the older labels just couldn't keep up. Spirit Zone just seems to be one of them. But, after a while they won't be missed either. As the first poster said, the artists on Spirit Zone all found other labels to release their music.
