Guest Mike D Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I know, same here Elysium. Recently alot of crap has happened in my life that has made me lighten up alot, and if you don't see the fun in what I say, then please ignore. 90% of the time I am either having fun or just jerking you around, nothing srioue, 10% is serious topics, like what music I am enjoying right now hehe! Yo Elysium! You up for an email again hehe? After our last big blow out? I kinda miss emailing you once in a blue moon, and I lost your address so: ekim900@hotmail.com :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 A hint for anyone willing to take EP up on his offer: don't send MP3s Try the big favorites of internet purchase: Saikosounds, etc. I gather they're pretty good (never tried them myself).

Guest albalotus Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 OK, a few things I must say here..... First of all, I am not a he, I am a girl . The second thing (this is especially for EP) I cant distribute music here 'couse I'm under age (I will be 18 this July). And I'm not reach enough; I'm not using the internet from my home, I'm using an internet conection at work and my salary is somewhere around 50$ a month. I work 7 hours a day, everyday in the week. I still didn't get my first salary (although one month already passed) and when I will, I'll wait for a few more salaries to get a good sound system (remember, "good" is a relative word). After that I will have to spend all my salaries for college fees. And the reason why there are no originals here is that people are poor and they wont be able to buy it. No one buys originals in this country. Hey, this is the land of pirates! What can I do about it? It is not up to me, it is up to the government! There are milions of CD shops where you cant find one single original, not even macedonian releases. People are selling pirates in shops!!! I'm talking about all kinds of music here. I have bought three originals (a friend who went abroad bough them for me) but I was saving for that a few months. Now I have somewhere around 40 originals in my colection but I got them as a present from my best friend who I met on the internet, right here on this forum. But there are constantly new releases and I refuse to download mp3's 'couse they are bad quality and I do not help the artists in any way by doing that. And if I pay one third (or something like that) of the price of the CD to someone for a copy, he could buy much more CD's like that. he could buy 4 CD's instead of 3, 8 instead of 6... don't you think we are helping the artists that way??? I couldnt get the original anyway...so the best thing I can do is by geting three copies, buying another original. Believe me, I have thought about this a lot... it is not just a simple thing... it is a very important problem in my life and I thought that this could be a good solution for everyone. And in the end..... Mike, EP.... what's that between you two? Now I feel very bad and guilty for giving you another topic to argue about. Remember of the message of our music, please.....

Guest Elysium Project Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Do not feel bad for our little get together - even if it seem harsh it's all fun :-) I do hear you Elena and I am aware of the situation in countires like Macedonia. When that is said and done it is still up to you and your country to get things going in the right direction. I know it can be tough but I am also convinced that it can be done nomatter how old you are. I am not saying that you are that person that should change it but I just see to many people in this forum nagging about prices and lack of music insted of doing something about the it. Out of my good heart :-) ( god how I can praise myself ) I will give away a copy of my new CD when it's released the 1st of June. So Elena if you send me your address ( use my email address above ) I will make sure that you recieve it as soon as I ahve it in my hands. Have a great day.

Guest pesito Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 wow.....hey EP, i forgot to tell u about the bad situation here in mex..... just kidding....That was a very kind attitude u Ep..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ks Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Well EP, i understand.. but dude, all you guys back in the nineties used to trade your music on dats.. am i not correct? i mean all the goa gil, jonas etc.. all the guys who used to play at goa, probably you as well... trading reduces your revenue and cannibalizes your sales, but well people are going to do it... living in denmark, you probably fail to see the situation in a slightly less afluent country... seeing elena's situation aroused a lot of compassion in me, as i am sure it did for you as well... elena if you want to trade, contact me, my e-mail is listed... Ep situations arent always controllable, i guess its a bias factor you developed in the west, where the society is all about individualism.. one can make a difference and all that.... however in other places life sucks and there is not much one can do about it.... so you liver with it, or find ways to get around it... like in india, the cigarette shops sell single cigarettes as well as packs, so that the common man can buy one cigarette and smoke it... same way if elena wants to pay 30% of the price, i think it is valid (she is barely donald trump)/// it is your job (quite literally) to not think so, since you are directly affected by this... but well as the famous saying goes 'que sere sara' (not my language so flame me if you want for wrong spellings).... btw... mike... dude i am 21.6 years old, and am amazed at your immaturity. i am sorry but i would never hide behind my age for security.. use you mind, not your age.. this is a virtual forum anyway...

Guest cyber Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Well let me tell my Elysium Project story. I loved his music for a long time. I bought his two albums and to this day they are very special part of my collection. I couldn't find his third album so friend of mine made me a copy of it. I didn't think this was respectful so I contacted Kristian directly to make sure he is OK with it otherwise I would destroy the CDR. And you know what...he DID NOT want me to destroy it. It meant to him more that I was polite and that I truly like it then the royalty (well too bad Nova Zembla didn't give him money anyways). Now I heard his new album on his site and I really like it. Needless to say..I WILL BUY IT!!! It will feel good to support him in addition to enjoyment the music will provide. I think it would feel even better if I was buying it directly from him because then all of the money will go to him. I think in the example in the posts above he has proven again that he is a great person, not only a great musician, and personally I think he is one of the greatest Trance artists to ever come out of Scandinavia.

Guest KS Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 i second that cyber... kristian is a very good musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cyber Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 ......and nice guy too:) I mean look how long he has been around in this forum and talked to us. Other than very few other recording artists that occasionaly hang around (like another Scandinavian legend D-Dave) he is the only one that is here and doesn't ming giving his opinion and info. Now if he would just stop delaying his new album release.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elysium Project Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Sorry for the delay cyber :-) it's not in my hands right now.....it's some problems with the cover design..... It should however be released on the 1st of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rumz Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 cool 1st of june.... I'm waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 What, did someone ask to take the pink out of the cover? Hehe. Seriously, are you using the cover you showed us many months ago, with the old laboratory? That stuck in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest albalotus Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Thank you guys..... I knew that you will understand ))) Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elysium Project Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 No I went away from that "laboratory" cover. I did not feel it suited the music very well. Right now I actually do not know what cover will be used.... Hopefully it will be solved within days. The covers that have been made until now (including the one on my website) are too oldstyle goaish for me. At first I was going to make my own cover (which I wish I had done now) but I just did and do not have the time. I will post the cover as soon as it is done.
