Luiz not many people around here have DSL connections and high flying bills,at least i am not one of them.
Anyway i downloaded the cd and i am going to buy it when its going to get released here in Greece but i will always complain about some labels and some artists who treat their listeners like 10 dollar bills.

it sounds like a joke here in Russia .. not released in our country .. I suppose russian record distributor sell here about 20 cd`s of 1998-2002 of trance music with the note (for distribution in russia only)
and about maximum 100 cd`s of trance music possible to find in shops
HEY YOU GMS! WHY NOT RELEASING IN RUSSIA? )))
digitally yours,

You gotta be kidding me... what about Europe? Huh? what about mainland china and india? what about Canada and the americas? i think that pretty much covers the market size. japan and hong kong are relase places because the cheapest CD pressers are there. simple as that. a friend of mine was in Kobe, Japan, and saw, quite simply, CDs for a buck.

Detox, with all due respect to the crazy Japanese ravers, Europe (just numbers here) has so much more people that no matter how much the Japanese buy the CDs, there are more people in Europe that will (and I'm pretty sure that Germany is the biggest trance scene in numbers, not Japan). They just get the job done fast, and are willing to pay big money (in comparison with most other markets) for the rights... that's also why they have huge names appearing very frequently in Japan (and the parties there are expensive, for that same reason), and my guess is that that's why their distributors get the CDs first.

For me it's money= incentive= more people making music= better music.
These guys need to pay thier rent too, how many artists are out there that don't have to take a day job to pay the bills?
Both teams played hard |

Just to put an end to this:
taken from Spirit Zone's website:
"hi there!
solstice has the license to manufacture and sell the album on the territory of japan.
it's a special edition with their liner notes and packaging.
this product will only be sold in japan.
some of our distributors in europe or usa also sell to japan.
the prices there are very high, so the imported cd's are cheaper than the japanese product. that's why solstice is allowed to sell their cd one month before the worldwide release date...."
it's written by juergen schneider, part of SZ crew.

Well whoever said you can find a cd here for a buck must of been dreaming. You can find a cd which is printed and released in japan for about 20 US dollars. Good enough for you.
Now about the early release, I think its because the organizers in japan pay so much damn money(9000 US dollars for an outdoor live to GMS, not official but i heard).
So if you were an artist i think you would love to give your music to the japanese. You get about three times more money than labels around the globe.
Plus since the japanese are so computer illiterate, the only way most can get there tracks is buy buying the cd. Not much downloading of psytrance goes on in japan(it does, but not as much as the outside world).
I think its great to have cd`s released only to limited territories. if you want it that bad have someone send it to you. Want me to send it to you?
