you use a record pressing plant. minimum is 500 copies. the lowest cost I have seen is about 500 euros for 500 copies including cd-cases and printed artwork (4 pages - one bit of glossy paper, 3 or 4 colours).

I'm looking to get my new album pressed at some point. A friend of mine helped print out the covers and cd art, just looking at it would make you think its the real deal (- the barcode and official specs of the cd).
I would only get it pressed if I was confident that not only it would sell, but also become rare and sought after once I get on a real label.

"I would only get it pressed if I was confident that not only it would sell, but also become rare and sought after once I get on a real label."
that, to me, is a really weird reason.

that would be incredibly cheap. which plant was used?
you didn't answer my earlier question - doesn't the label have a website?

sadly, none are available at the moment :( my render sizes are always of the highest quality, so hosting them would either piss of downloaders or not be aloud on sites.
although once I do get a good number of copies made, I would exchange it for your new album or we could just buy eachothers, whatever works. :)

heh, I agree with you since you pointed that out. I do tend to think ahead of the game with goals too big. Maybe I'm just confident. After all my sound is signature and the progress I've made musically is something to be proud of.

okay, here's what I think:
I'm having an increasingly harder time believing a label is backing you, in fact I find it hard to believe there are a 1000 pressed copies - you're being so vague about the release and the label.

you're saying there's a label that would be willing to spend 500 euros on your music and they haven't even got a website?
even though that especially for electronic music internet is such an important marketplace?
there is no way I can order this cd online except through e-mailing you? that's just insane and completely unbelievable.
besides that, I can't find them in any online record label index that I know of - that doesn't mean they don't exist, but it is very weird.

dude, jesus
you are the worst fucking salesperson on the planet, and assuming you've invested money into the printing of 1000 copies, you honestly have no clue at all.
you're either full of shit, or you're just incredibly (INCREDIBLY) stupid. if it really is for sale, stop trying to talk people OUT of buying it; provide information, not opinions, and stop making excuses up.
if people didn't care before, they care even less now.

ok, so who has invested the money - you, or them?
if you have - whoa, you're your own worst enemy.
if them - i bet they're pissed you're being so damn evasive about how to purchase the album, no matter how nice they are.

Easily the most fucking bizarre thread yet.
I have an album for sale but I don't want you to buy it because I can make the money back that I didn't put up in the first place.

I have to say your Wetware track makes interesting listening. It certainly has a strong opening and the synths which kick in after 30 seconds work really well against the background tune to form a good buildup - its a shame that you drop them before the main beats begin (maybe you could find a way of leading one onto the other). The trancy tune that begins after the first minute isn't anything special but it is passable and you'd do better to stick with it rather than keep changing the direction of the music so much IMO
nice track though, definately your best.

Hey, I've joined cx (i mean reflex, i mean flx, on no x, wait.. it's cx again) on the *mumble mumble* record label, it wasn't offically a record label until the mighty "Showcase" (sales currently -1000) but now it is and I'm releasing *mumble mumble* an 80 track double cd entitled *mumble mumble* available from *mumble mumble* , you have to send a postcard to order it from *mumble mumble* ... but you can download ALL the tracks for free, in fact I'd rather you did, as I hate the bloke that runs *mumble mumble* label. Oh yes, I nearly forgot, my artist name is Underworld.
