D-Dave Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Here is a 14 track digital release by Battle of the Future Buddhas. http://battlebuddhas.bandcamp.com/album/digging-mud Digging Mud as the album is called, is a collection of unreleased (with the exception of Filoti) or promo tracks, mixes and different versions of old tracks, all from the pre-Twin Sharkfins era. Now mastered and remastered. The kick drum will still be low or muffled, but hey, that's the way it sounded back in 1995-96. If anyone want to review this release I'll naturally offer a free download. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juril Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Is there any chance for a physical release? I'm oldschool that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Dave Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Perhaps, but it'd be without most of the bonus tracks. I could look into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Perhaps, but it'd be without most of the bonus tracks. I could look into it. Why not to offer a free digital download for all people who would like to pay for physical medium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Aye, a physical release would be good with a link to a free download of the bonus tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Dave Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Aye, a physical release would be good with a link to a free download of the bonus tracks It's going to be CD-r however. If at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 CD-r is fine. DataObscura, an ambient label has all their releases on CD-r but they look and sound great If it's CD it could be a double CD-r release no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penzoline Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 CDr is a mistake imho It's what schlab has been doing all along.. http://www.discogs.com/label/Schlabbaduerst+Rekkords Proper printing is very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not printing a CD only to sell 12 copies and having the music available on russian torrent sites after a few days of the release...

amithaba_buddha Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yeah, I'm not printing a CD only to sell 12 copies and having the music available on russian torrent sites after a few days of the release... Exactly. Imo CD-r is a good alternative choice for people who want to have it a physical release , i think that nowadays it's just not worth the price of pressing cd's , not many people actually care about physical releases (except the collectors).

ma05683 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 a cdr will be great plus a option to get the bonus tracks with a alternative way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 CDr could be made quit professionally looking using special cdr media and made in a pressing factory, they are way cheaper than pressed CD. In any case the torrent thing will happen anyway no matter what, download only, CDr or proper CD. But there are ways of fighting it and releases can be removed from that famous site. I did it with Mind Rewind boom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time_Trap Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hm I remember an old interview of BotfB where there was a question about piracy and the reply was that it's no problem for the schlabb guys because this way more people get to know their music. http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/37572-artist-battle-of-the-future-buddhas/ Anyway, so what do you think about the mp3/FTP-scene ? A: Its basically the same as the DAT copying scene that existed before, and still exist but is not as big. People have always been swapping music, now its just on a bigger scale. I dont care if people copy our music as long as they dont try and sell it, that pisses me off. If more people hear our music its better cause maybe we get a live gig or I get a DJ-gig or whatever. Q: Is all the copying killing Goa-labels, or not ? A: I'm not the right person to answer that, I dont know much about the sales at the moment... And I dont care much about labels, the individual artists are more important and they have to be payed! Don't know if something has changed in the way they see it today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Dave Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 "I dont care if people copy our music as long as they dont try and sell it, that pisses me off. If more people hear our music its better cause maybe we get a live gig or I get a DJ-gig or whatever." I'm still thoroughly pissed off with the fact that many torrent sites ask for donations... and I've said on the facebook group that if you download the music "for free" you have to organize a party for us to play at. It's also rather depressing to see 500 visits on bandcamp from Russia, but only sell 1 download there... and then add the torrent sites and you get a bitter musician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
