If the distrib fronts money for pressing/promo/whatever and it is not
a p&d agreement...unless it is a pathetically bad p&d, which many are.
And the label hasn't been doing well enough to pay back the fronted
$$. I don't know how else.

that's too bad about amato. i'd actually never heard of them though.

(underground) record sales have been solid for about 2 years. the sky
fell and the decline ended quite awhile ago. sales are generally lower
than in the past for established labels, but it's not bad. an upturn
would be great. i can almost see it happening. because cd's suck and
mp3's suck. generic corporate objects and ethereal digital media must
be leaving people a little hungry?! oh well, maybe not

Kraftwerk: We Are the Robots
Thursday 22 November 2007 11:30-12:00 (Radio 4 FM)

Marc Riley traces the career of Kraftwerk, whose 1970s electronic
music owed more to the experimental German classical compositions of
Karlheinz Stockhausen than to any pop tradition. They were part of a
new generation of young West Germans, living in the shadow of the
Cold War, who identified with the need to recapture a German cultural
identity distinct from that of Britain and America.

Lots of ways, mastering,  promotions, send backs, P and D deals, not  
selling enough to name but a few...

What happens to the leftover stock usually?  Does is

excellent analysis - I think the strength is in the collectives and direct
business to business (and direct to customer) sales

thanks for that

by the way - anyone answer this question:

What happens to the leftover stock usually?  Does is "disappear" (get sold

RE: (313) My Zoom H4 recorder as terrorist tool (was Re: (313) OT: Portable Recorder (same question as always))

2007-11-21 Thread Odeluga, Ken
On the other hand Kent, when I recently passed through Newark on my way
back from Colombia - I naturally fully expected to be at worst detained
for a few days, especially because I had this small 'sinister-looking'
('sinister looking' if you're a homeland security automaton, that is)
notebook-sized box, in peculiar brushed gold colour, with a few dials
and many levers. It's a BOSS BR-600, the latest in BOSS's portable
recorder line. When the 'What is that?' question came, I was fully
prepared to have to spark it up and give a little demo. But they just
said 'have a nice day'.



OnT: I don't think much of the recorder for lengthy recordings - the
proprietory file format architecture creates problems in transferring
the data easily. However for 'song-by-song' sessions - meaning shorter
(smaller) individual files I've found it to be fine.

I was held up for 20 minutes at Berlin Tegel airport for having a Zoom
H4 Handy Recorder in my backpack.  Even after turning it on, explaining
it was an audio recorder, they still had to call in 2 levels of
management to decide it was OK to fly with.

I wonder if they changed the design on the H2 because too many people
thought the H4 looked like a Tazer.
