Author: Mike P Date: 06-19-02 14:32 It's up to the artists, I don't want to publish exact sales figures if they'd rather keep it secret. But on average this year (last 12 months) cd albums have sold 800 copies. Our best seller in last 12 months was The Cosmic Forces Of Mu which sold 2217 copies worldwide. just over 12 months ago the Slag Boom remixes cd did very well at almost 3000 copies. The average earnings of a Planet Mu artist (from sales royalties, not their real jobs obviously) is £800 per album ($1190) which is the royalties on 1000 sales. But I usually give them an advance of more than that. |

goes to show. all you lot who only down load, and never buy albums really are fuckwits. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but does not show what they *should* be on...for all we know, they could have been £500 per album 3 years ago |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i'm weeping for them, really i am |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i think you have to understand that the music they're putting out is not the most popular when compared to all the mainstream, popular and chart music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so obviously, it's not going to sell too well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you will when they stop releassing recods - i couldn't survive on £800 for more than 2 and a half weeks in london where i live - and it's not my fault my rent is cheap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i won't |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you don't likw this music then .. what are you doing here, howe are you going to magic good music - interesting characters who make it .. good events - great artwork ..progressive musical communities out of the air ... i bet your're quite young and your mum and dad pay for your stuff..you don't seem like a very realistic person |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know something? you were wrong on all accounts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So this is a dark age for electronic and Planet Mu, then. How much were they selling BEFORE us MP3-rapists came along? (More, I'm sure, I'm asking an honest question, I have no fucking clue) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah £800 is about 1 months pay for me. fucked if i would like to spend a year working twords a months pay. i know there not in it for the money, but there not there to be ripped off either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They should make music more people will like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only reason i want to get good at music, writings, and illustrations is just so i dont have to work as hard. i dont see myself making millions from music alone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now is the time to sell out. There should be no critism for artists who in the current climate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is nothing wrong with wanting more money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah - who needs integrity anyways? we're all doomed to a consumer hell, so we might as well all join in "always coca cola" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, as long as the music stays the same pretty much. there's a lot of mainstream artists who have completely changed an image or the sound and i know that it wasn't an evolution of music, but an appeasement for culture to make a buck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
£800 per 1000....that 80p per CD... Now, I know that's a pretty standard rate but surely there's a different way to play the game so that artists get more than >10% per CD... Shops, I guess, buy from Mu at 50% of retail price so I'm suprised Mike P doesn't make Mu just a Mail Order business....at least they'd be able to keep more of the cash for the artist even if they didn't sell as many....probably a lot less headaches anyway... Or bite the bullet and start releasing MP3 albums that can be downloaded on a track basis...maybe some sort of subscription model or micro-payments would work... Physical media is a dead horse nowadays and moaning about it isn't gonna sort this problem out... |

from the same thread at planet-mu.com: Author: Phobeus Date: 06-19-02 17:34 aphextwin.nu is responsible for a large amount of MP3 piracy, they need to be sorted out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's why i'm weeping, hevquip |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
''aphextwin.nu is responsible for a large amount of MP3 piracy, they need to be sorted out '' What the FUCK?!?!?! I'd be a fucking MP3 pirate regardless of this site, I was before, and I always will be. Atrrrr, mateys! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how can you blame this site? it doesn't host any illegal mp3s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just did my share and bought Spectrum, Sketches and Are You An Axolotl.. A Planet Mu mail order service would be popular with me. Guess it's costly to run though. Why can't Warpmart stock more Planet Mu? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps it was a joke or perhaps they believe that this site provides info as to where one can go to pirate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a bit out of order to blame .nu ... where did we get that reputation from?... maybe it's windup but I'm gonna pop across and see where that's coming from... |
||||||||

My Grandmother could find mp3's. I think that you will have to make a value judgement on the ethics of downloading them. I only use them for demoing purposes as I like to have the original. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

If I had more money (which I don't), I might buy electronic albums. In the future, I may... and if not for MP3s, there would be NO chance that I'd ever buy an electronic album... well, not MUCH of a chance. I would like to have the CDs, but I'm not going to spend money on THEM when I've got more important things to think about, and when I can hear them on MP3 anyway. If it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't have blown 50 bucks on Drukqs... they wouldn't have got not one red cent from me. |

Ah, most likely one of my enemies... the user has only posted one single message which seconds that even more. schmee should e-mail me the ip#. hillarious! |
||||||||

funny as long as no-one there buys it! no point in this place having a nasty and ill-deserved reputation! :( |

marlowe, wall st "greed is good" |

Seems ALL other messageboards bash this one. I smell jealousy. We have Baron Von Picklefoot and THEY don't. |

he's posted there before loads - but then again marlowe - who needs enemies with friends like you? |

that's very true astrid - only an insecure wanker would want a sycophant as a friend |

why he got 1 point then? |

a curious misreading.. |

these points are responcible for all the spam in messageboards |
||||||||
|
|

crikey this messageboard has got really "school debatinf society" in the last few days quite interesting but pretty heavy going :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think the points have anything to do with it. People either have something worthwhile to say, or they don't. Nothhing would change without points. *waxes and shines my sparkly point total |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think so, for some people that's be a LOT of spam |
