Our new digital media service launched today, WATMM Digital Media (WDM). Our first release, Autopilots by BeginningAlgebra, is on sale now for purchase and download for as low as 3.00USD for the whole album!
The goal of WDM is to put out great music (obviously), but also to get the artist exposure he or she would otherwise not get, and make some cash to boot. 60% of income goes to the artist, and we're always looking for other artists wanting to do a release with us.
Head on over to http://beginningalgebra.watmm.com/ to purchase the album, and check out http://forum.watmm.com for more details on WDM. A proper site for WDM and WATMM Records will go up soon, as will info about our first release, WATMM |Volume One which will be out first week of November.
Thanks for your time and support!

also the logo for your music service looks like a hand holding one buttock with the other butt cheek next to it and a penis at the end...sums you up perfectly.

the samples sound good, yet i'm not going to buy the tracks or anything , i don't know what's up with all this d/l nonsense like this and bleep.com these days, i'm only getting me original cd's, when i buy a release i want a quality cd with artwork on decent paper and stuff.
i don't wanna print my own artwork and burn my cd's like it's some kind of do-it-yourself pack (i don't even have a burner or colorprinter y'know)
anyways, if this guy is that good he'll get signed and i might buy his stuff, otherwise i'll obviously just rip it off of slsk.
goodnight

Actually I was being pretty much serious. They take most of the money from their releases, the artist doesn't get much at all. I remember J saying he earn't more money off Family Glue than he did from all his releases on Rephlex combined.

40% seems like kinda daylight robbery, yes. Especially for a web-only release.

And you wonder why people dislike this place so much...
The 40% is my cut, for the server space, bandwidth and time - I think giving an artist 60% is a fair deal, considering they made the music, but may not have the time to do all the work in putting up a secure download site, etc. Global Goon is an exception.
I knew posting this here was a mistake... you children still have a way to go until you grow up.

nah, you're wrong man. maybe there are some people who just went to see what it's like. because u have a few negative replies doesn't mean most of us agree. there are silent people. posting it here can't do you no bad i think. am i clear enough? if no press YES.

i just made an on-topic reply about the fact that i'll never pay for mp3-or other music-files,
it's like buying a book in MSword format, and having to print it yourself,
all the charm of an original release is gone

No, I understood there would be resistance, but I weighed the prospect of getting attacked (which I did) versus exposing people to BA's music, which is the whole point of WDM.
I'm not out to make money on this, more to promote the artists that make good music and don't have the time and knowledge to do stuff like this themselves. That's why the prices are low, and we offer a bit more in terms of printable artwork, etc.

Dear me, I really don't know why you lot have to be so objectionable. Really people, for fuck's sake, grow up and show some respect. You might not have anything to lose by being unpleasant but that's not an excuse to do it.
Attitudes here have really gone down the shitter lately, it's no wonder people have a bad opinion about xlt when any new user or someone from watmm gets instant abuse.
GROW THE FUCK UP
Facetious responses will be deleted.

I don't have any problem with web-releases, least of all by people considered talented by the most fabulous of geek-communities, the Eye Dee Emm Massive. I won't pretend to like joyrex, as he tends to rub me up the wrong way for some reason, and i still think 40% is a bit much to skim off the top (bearing in mind my knowledge of wattm economics is minimal to zero), but like, yeh. Fair enough for actually getting some "official" downloads going and supporting the artist etc.

Sorry, couldn't resist! :D
Sounds like a good idea and a reasonable price. Of course, the quality of the artists on such a scheme make or break it. I'll check out the samples when I get a chance.
