man if your calling this music IDM to begin with, I don't
even know why i'm argueing with you.

skodt - the Q guy has some good opinions, but when he
started going off and trying to belittle us with his "name
calling" and trying to front himself as richard devine he
lost all of my respect to begin with.

WHAT ABOUT MIX CD'S? And I don't mean dj mixes. . . just
cd's you make with a whole bunch of different artists and
songs. I download all of that material.

And dj's don't have much to worry about, at least. It's
quite awkward to go about downloading a dj mix, and I've
never done it.

Ever since I got my cd burner last year in April I've only
downloaded and burned 6 albums, and they're not all from the
same artist or anything; they are ones that I cannot find on
stores and cost way too much to buy online.

And occasionally I do burn dj mixes that I find at the
library that I would not normally spend money on (Paul
Oakenfold anyone?), but like I said, that's because I would
never waste my hard-earned money on anything like that
anyway.

Some dj's and artists, like John Digweed and Aphex Twin, I
will never burn material from, although both are already
very rich and do not even need income from cd's/dj mix cds
anymore. . .

yeah, well done Skodt for laying the facts down on the
table. I agree with you as well. You haven't provoked any of
the hate that far too many of the other posts in this thread
have.

respect.

"man if your calling this music IDM to begin with, I don't

What do you mean? I was just saying that they don't have
much Intelligent Dance Music (a popular term given to music
such as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Bogdan Raczynski, and
others).

Can't compare what John Digweed,Paul Oakenfold and the rest
of the "Trance/extacy gang" does...They just spin
music,that's it...When RDJ is Djing,then,that's another
story,he does a bunch of his stuff,and friends like
[]pusher,AE,etc.....They're way different in what they
do........

Don't diss John Digweed, d00d. . . he's the best dj ever, in
the entire world.

And for god sakes John Digweed is NOT trance!!! He is most
certainly progressive house, which is the least cheesiest
electronica sub-genre there is!

deathsmith: everyone makes mixed cds man.
or tapes, whatever.
don' t think it hurts things and that's the point.
d/ling album's is what we are speaking of here.
also, it doesn't matter how rich someone is, you treat them
with as much respect as any individual.

narkotic: he did fall off the boat a little there, but as
someone stated, if you back a dog into a corner it's gonna
bite. most people weren't listening to the essence of his
statement, and he kept trying, but after a bit he did get
kind mangy.
most people would have responded in a like fashion.
i think people understand now, it's too bad it had to come
off as a quarrel though.

small labels are run for enthusiasts at litttle profit -
majors are run by big corporations most small labels have 50
50 deals 50 for the artist 50 for the label so ...the drop
in sales from cd burning /file sharing fucks wit h the small
labels more - everyone is talking about the artists here but
artists are supported by labels - and the guys who run the
labels ain't multi million fat cats

I think this whole topic got blown way out of proportion!
Downloading is good, because it gives people a chance to
hear the music.
Routintely downloading things just because one doesn't want
to purchase them, however, is a bit dishonest, but still not
wrong.

as far as computers go, i'm not around them except at work,
with video editing and checking e-mails. i don't claim to
know a lot about them what i do know usaully makes them
crash, repeatedly, ok they scare me alright, i'm like a
monkey trying to use a toaster oven.
i will say that i do not download a lot of music of the
net for the reasons some of you have been giving, it's
illegal plain and simple. artists are already exploited by
the record companies, now you the comsumer wants to shxt on
his chest? come on, you say that you buy the CD after you've
downloaded the songs to see if you like the artist, bull!
not to say i haven't downloaded stuff before, i have one mix
CD which defineatly doesn't sound as good as a real CD, but
those of you who do this crap all the time are common
criminals!

from planet mu

File sharing seems rather bad for small labels but then
electronic music labels are some of the most downloaded on
the internet – even though home taping didn’t kill music
this seems like something different –
Well, our sales are down... I'm sure Rephlex and Warp's are
too. It must be at least 50% due to downloading mp3s, it
might not be - who can tell?
It could just be there are less people buying cds generally
and electronic music is just unsexy. But the low sales mean
we can't release much vinyl anymore because it loses money
unless we sell over, say 1500 for a 12" or 3000 for an album
(2LP) just for that format - and not many releases sell that
much these days. I was talking to my man Mark Melton (who
used to work for GPR in early 90s, you know - Black Dog,
Beaumont Hannant, Luke Slater etc.) and he was saying that
whatever album he released in 92-95 was guaranteed to sell
10,000 - 15,000 minimum or at least 5000 - 7000 for a 12"
single and when they started to sell only 3000 for one of
their 12"s they were in trouble... so when the UK gets true
file sharing capabilities (beyond 40 mins on a phone for an
mp3 at 128k) then we'll all be in trouble.

how do U feel about piracy in general,.do U feel the same
way about audio-software hacks as U do about Mp3z?

I bet 99.9% of the underpayed artists use hacks which they
didn't pay for. Cheating softwarehouses out of money,.etc
