Why do you need to get reviews on your albums? Why is it so important to you?

i'm just thinking it's a affordable means of publicizing your album without spamming... if someone sees a decent review for something, there's a good chance they may purchase it.
i'm really desperate right now. i sold one album last month, and i told all my friends.
i really just want people to give me some feedback... i'm a working musician now, so i need all the help i can get.

posting on a messageboard and telling everyone I know isn't going to work, so why not try a review or two... or three... or ten... :-D

get noticed for your music --> record label signs u --> you get money and recognition --> more time to make music --> you get to shag beautiful women --> world domination

I hate to be the one to tell you straight, but your work just isn't really that good. There is nothing to distinguish you from every other wannabe musician in the world. Sorry :(

Well, i guess it really is a matter of taste. Many people have said they like my music, but they're not IDM fans. And I'm not IDM.
BlatantEcho recently said it best: "it's not idm or dnb man, you aren't going to get shit for a
response
welcome to my hell"
I'm in the wrong place. That's the story of my life. :-D

Ok, I take it you have a couple of your own cd's hanging around, send them to the magazines, fanzines, papers and stuff also tell them it's a review copy, hopefully that should work.
btw I don't only listen to idm and drum and bass i listen to all sorts of stuff.
Anyways i hope that helps.

well if you feel like it, there's a link on this MB with mp3's to download and samples to listen to, if you feel like it.
Just look for the MY THIRD ALBUM one I posted.
I'd bump it up, but I don't feel like it.

I liked track 5 better it seemed to be put together nicely, the only nehative thing i will say though is it all seems a bit dry.
I quite enjoyed though nice work.

Oddioblender, are you signed to a label?
one that presses records and does press deals and stuff like that?

the best way to get reviews and shit is to spend a LOT of time beiung underground and unnoticed until you get so good that labels cannot ignore you. when you're signed the rest will follow
making music is, after all, about making music, not being popular or being talked about or even liked.
if you're nmaking music to do interviews and to be on magazines and shit liek that, then you're going about it the wrong way.
BTW I'm in no way accusing you of this.

thanks op_step! you always make me feel better when I'm irritated about something! :-)
You know, I guess I really shouldn't give a crap about what anyone else thinks. I make music I like, and if no one else likes it, then that's simply their opinion.
Skink, thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
