When something can become a hit by accident and not because off a smart mediaplan, why not? Underground does not mean it's forbidden to sell records. Be honest you aim to reach a lot of people, otherwise you have to make music at home and let only your friends listen to it. Or distribute your song trough internet channels only.
JayCee. E.G. : Sonic Youth, alltough they're underground and don't make compromises they still sell sometimes 500.000 copies worldwide. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kim [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 3:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [313] Jaguar Video and that's a problem why? i don't know, i know we probably don't see eye to eye on this, but this music is called underground for a reason, and that's to keep it OFF the mainstream channels... any kind of music that blows up generally loses its quality. putting on flameproof suit now... case in point, rap. i used to love a lot of the rap that came out (Wu Tang, Outkast, Death Row, etc.). rap started blowing up REAL good with No Limit Records, the ultimate in selling out what rap is all about. think about it. saturation of public channels makes people sick of the music. media glamor attracts untalented artists who make crappy, uninspired, sampled, and/or bland music. trance is a very accessible type of music. i myself started listening to trance, until i started searching for something better. someone said on here that mainstream music searches for you, you search for underground music. and that's exactly what happened with me, and that's exactly what will happen to most true future fans of the underground sound. most people who will become fans of techno will find it sooner or later... keeps the quality high, and the fans true. okay, flame away now. 8o) just my $0.01 (does it deserve $0.02?)
