PSYCHEDELIC SPARKS : WILL YOU BUY IT (SINCERELY) ?


Guest

Recommended Posts

INPSYDE MEDIA, the italian label who is going to release it (as well as the Promon album), is really not sure that's a good idea to propose all Tracks at high MP3 quality on this site cause that will probably affect the sales as everyone here already have the possibility to get them for free (even if MP3 quality is not as good as original quality)

 

What do you think about that ? Will you buy the comp even if you already got the MP3 Tracks here ? What would you do in our place ?

If the tracks are all available in mp3, than nobody would buy your cd or at least not many people.

BTW how is it with my consequencer (EP) review??? ;-)

thats a hard one.

 

maybe, we should do the contest at a maximum/minimum of 128 kbps. but im not shure about that.

If the cd comes out and there r good tunes at it, then the 320kbps traks will be available anyway.

 

Tell the label that this is an underground djs comunity, so we could have the tracks at a high quality but we r going to play them at partyes and make some (or lot) of the nesesary promotion.

 

But lets keep the contest alive, and lets make the release ($$$) question secondary.

 

thats my opinion.

No i wouldnt buy it. I didnt like the songs enough.

 

 

But REMEMBER _ Alot of consumers dont come to this site and download the songs-- so they might buy it.

I would definetely buy it... Since all the included tracks are NICE - but I've never been a big Napsteree, I love to read the cover, and have an actual CD between my fingers. But I don't know how many share that opinion?

Next time - when the voting has ended, why not shuting off the downloads? So the winning tracks can't be downloaded? I mean, only a small (and very neardy) percentage have downloaded all 185 tracks I think - so odds are...

 

The users of the site should also, in general, try to "promote" the CD as much as possible - and definetly not allow it to be copied... That would make future contests imposible (to be released, that is...)

 

The idea about posting the MP3's at lower quality is also good... Of course, as an artist, you don't want you expression cripled by poor quality - would it be possible to stream the MP3's only, and not allow downloads? I realize, that would leave someone with slow connections in a fix... But would it work?

i would by it if there are some melodic tracks on it (which i think surely are). i haven't downloaded any track because i have a very slow connection and i'm not a big fan of mp3 anyway. so if you release it and its availalbe on a internet shop or here then i'll buy it.

Tatsu : yes there are 3 melodic (not old-school), 2 ambient, 3 psychedelic & 2 more minimal Tracks. We tried to put as much variety as possible according to visitors votes & label agreement in this 10 Tracks final selection :-)

Hi there,

 

buying this CD couldn't this be also a question of supporting this site and the community? Children is doing hard work for us every day, I mean I enjoy it so much to be here often times a day, I would buy this CD and I don't care about if all the tracks are really my taste. These guys should make some money the've earned it IMHO!!!

Hehe I'm really not sure we'll make some money on that you know :-)

 

But the real VERY INTERESTING thing with this release (and I hope future ones for the next contests) is that it permits ANYONE who produces music with his home studio (wherever he lives) to become SIGNED on a psytrance label & earn some money for his hard work.

Will it be available in Australia?? I can't buy over the net, no credit card! If so I am definitely going to buy, to support the artists and also for the fact that my connection is so crapy I can't download mp3's at all, and also I would like to have it to add to my collection, would be a real collector's item me thinkz!

Well I don't like the cover and, the trax ARE mp3s soooo... i dunno I'd love to support psynews.org though. I don't know... I don't have a CD burner either so i can't just burn them... Why can't the artists email Aiffs (wav) to the label?? their only like 90 megs! then i'd buy it for sure...

 

i got one question. if you DO release it and it doesn't turn a profit or even loose money... Is that the end of contests (which means no releases either) or just releases?

Children, i think that there are people that would buy it,

you known your idea about having a music contets for everyone, has also had its effects in dk, a danish site is being used by a guy that has arrangede a contets, + a party, and the winner gets a contract with Levaithan rec.

So the intrest here is high i would say, and with a nice cover for cd, people would probaly give it a listend.. Maybe you should consider, spreading the cd out also away from te internet where the real market is..

 

as for dk www.loudmusic.dk i´m sure they will sell the compilation there, they are very nice guys...

to mE:

I think tracks burned into the final released CD will be full CD quality and probably professionally re-mastered.

I've sent INPSYDE MEDIA rough + own-mastered wav files to achieve this.

I can't be objective for myself but I would definitely buy this release for the other tracks at full CD quality. Which full-on dj won't want The bastard, Neurotoxin, Synsun at 16-bits/44khz?

 

I agree on 128kbps max for the next contest tracks (it will save disk space/download time too).

To clarify things : the Tracks on the CD won't be MP3 quality at all, they will be remastered by INPSYDE MEDIA (Valerio even told me he projects to remaster them in the best mastering studio of Italy)

 

About thenext contest Tracks quality, that will probably be 96 Kbps. Enough to have an opinion on the Track, not enough to satisfy with the MP3s & don't buy the CD.

 

I don't know if the contest thing will continue if releases stop, cause the aim was to make people participating be signed & release their stuff to be widely distributed (-> become known on the scene) and earn some money for their work, so there would be no aim anymore ...
