Basilisk Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 This is a simple survey... I am just wondering if anyone has purchased any of these releases. Have I missed any, by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Never heard of V/A - Cosmic Disorder. Who released it and when? Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 It is the second compilation from Buddha Mantra (who brought you State Of Spirit some time ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoebis Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I've discovered new School Goatrance for me some time ago...but i won't buy any digital releases. To low countervalue Honestly, idem dito, I only buy what is available on cd... I bought 1 digital release in my life... It ended up on my pc somewhere and I NEVER listened to it, as I always listen music while searching my cds, and picking the right one for my mood...

Guest antic Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I will never pay for a download, even if new Cosmosis or Hallucinogen would come out only as a digital release, I'd rather steal it or not hear it at all than pay for a file... CDs FTW! :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rino Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I bought all of them except V/A Cosmic Disorder. I'll be honest here: I am going digital all the way. ALL of my music is ripped onto my PC and CDs are dust collectors for the most part. There are releases I would not part with for all the riches of the world, but most probably I'll sell most of what I have and pay for my driver's licence exam, purchase a new big screen TV and some more non-spiritual and materialist shit like that... I firmly believe that going digital is the future of music. You may stay loyal to CDs until the very end, true, as that is everyone's choice, but facts show different results- digital digital digital digital is the future.

Well, it may be the future for you, but does that mean you have almost no music that is released on cd today? Because then you would miss A LOT... Also, at this point, digital sales are not even 1/10th of the cd-sales... I said it before, we need a central download place IF digital wants to become big in goa/psy trance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it before, we need a central download place IF digital wants to become big in goa/psy trance Don't worry, I bought every Suntrip Records release thus far And yes, going digital is my future. You see, I went from carrying around 4 battery discmans without G-shock, to purchasing Sony's ultra slim 72 hour model to now packing hundreds of tracks on one tiny MP3 player. While I still (naturally, man ) appreciate a good CD, I find myself listening to 95% of my music or while sitting in front of my computer or while being on the move - MP3 player...

Aeros Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 tch tch tch...materialists Owning a CD is not owning the music, one can't own music. Just copies of it. I think digital release is a good idea. You can get only the tracks you want to get, you are able to support more artists, and more of your money goes to thank the artist for taking the time to make the music. However, like Anoebis said ,it needs to be centralized and it needs to be the real deal if its going to be successful. I can't arse myself ot make a new account for a dozen or two different sites out there that have the music. It all needs to come to one place, whether the artists or the labels manage that...this is what needs to happen. And why not both? What if we could DL the tracks after we purchase a CD, and get it in our mail? Some can chose to forgo shipping and just get the mp3s (or wavs), other can get the full deal. As it is right now, the majority of the money goes to the shipping companies and the printing companies, with small moocheries for the labels and even smaller ones for the artists that actually throw it together. Its a great thing to own a CD, but I'm not willing to spend $25 on every CD out there, for some I just want to grab a couple of tracks. I should be able to do that no? And if I really respect the vision a label and its artist's have, I'd like to buy the complete package, the whole CD when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agneton Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Bought all releases except for State Of Spirit. IMO I like CD's better but like some of you here already mentioned, the future is obviously one where internet is playing a central role. It's not the question whether you like that or not, it's just happening more and more that new labels and old ones choose for te fully digitalized way.

Drosophila Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This is for Antic funny well I haven't bought any of the listed digital releases... I think I have only bought one (VA - Vapour) I really prefer physical releases, as Anoebis said, they just disappear in the murky circuits of my computer and that sucks!

Somseensee Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 no, will not buy them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antic Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This is for Antic That's hilarious! But seriously, when Pavel said 'one of the biggest psy labels' I immediately thought of BNE/Yoyo, Hom-Mega, Iboga or TIP and I really do not care about their releases... I'm sure one day there will be no CDs any more, but until this day comes, I'm going to buy physical media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Another interesting thing to think about is this: how many sales do you suppose labels make on sites like Cytopia, Beatport, etc.? If CDs are selling 500 to 1,000 (and maybe more) do you suppose digital downloads are anywhere near comparable? From what I hear they aren't... not by a long shot.

It ended up on my pc somewhere and I NEVER listened to it, as I always listen music while searching my cds, and picking the right one for my mood...This is exactly what happens to me if I download something. I don't have the drive or the need to listen to it. Same with a movie I've had on my hard drive for the last 2 years but never bothered to watch :drama: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I download things, I do it to listen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
