Yes, but it must be very disheartening as an artist, to spend maybe a few hundred hours on an album, and only sell a couple of hundred copies.
The best proof of how much people like your music, is how well you sell, and such a dismal performance must be a real kick in the teeth.

i dont buy many records just because where i live , there arent any psy record stores, all u can find is maybe skazi and infected. i think that a major problem is the distrubution business. of course i woulld pay for an album i really like, but i simply cant do it.. so i download. of course theres internet, but i dont have a credir card and after shipping and taxes, we pay as much as double the price.. so i dowload, not because i dont want but because is the way to get the music

damn that sounded disrespectful. no harm ment. anyways what should have come out would have been something like this: if you order 2 or more cds once it's already pretty much the same price than in stores..

He won't stop for good. If you hear his music, he has a lot of passion and did extremely good work. I have a hard time believing that he only sold a few copies. Me and a couple friends all bought original copies of Symphonic Adventures and that was just in our litte group in Japan. |

the price of cds are to high.
its a proven fact that the RIAA has price fixed cds in the past, there is even a settlement from this:
http://www.musiccdsettlement.com
the only reason trance cds are priced at what they are is because its just custom to price them the same $10-15 bullshit price. Cds dont cost any less than when the first came out in the late 80s. We have had so much advances in technology since then driving the cost of production down, its just absurd to charge the same as the price fixed RIAA prices in this scene.
A good example is what vinyl use to cost in the early 80s before cds. They were expensive in the 60s but by the early 80s they cost shit. My father has over 5,000 albums on vinyl, in the early 80s he was buying albums for $2-3 a shot. He would buy anything at that price, maybe get one good song, maybe not.
i have no sympathy for a trance label that ive never even heard of before that goes out of business selling cds at that price. |
