Re: (313) Interstellar Fugitives - Far East first
I have to say than I have this point of view regarding japan and U.R : Should be a lie to say than money is not a reason, of course, Japan will probably order and pay more for U.R music than all other countries in the world but one of the first reason is respect and support ; Here, I'll talk for me, but I know than UR has a feeling really close to that. Nowadays, Japan is the country where the Detroit techno and affiliated music is the most respected, supported. So it appears logical to want to thanx them for their support, their fidelity and respect for the music. And release a CD or album a bit before some other countries is just something to express our respect to japanese music lovers. Of course, I think there is many other place where people are true music lovers...I think about Scotland mainly after that its everywhere of course. But for the artists (of the Detroit techno scene or others) who experienced Japan, they'll understand what I say. I won't give you more information here as I don't want to do boring promotion, but I'll start my own label in september, and the releases will come earlier to 3 places ; Submerge, Rub-a-dub (glasgow), underground Gallery (Japan-Osaka)...exactly for the reasons I explain before... Fabrice Lig *** for the little story...you'll find more back catalog stuff of Detroit music in Tokyo than in Detroit ;-), so you can understand than support deserve some little gifts like a previous output date... And finaly...if you want it...you can order stuff on japanese websites ;-).

Re: (313) Interstellar Fugitives - Far East first
I'd guess it's purely a financial issue. Japan has its own distribution network, so Japan-only releases that are eventually destined for the rest of the world probably use the Japanese revenue to fund the external distribution. This is all conjecture of course. In June, Third Ear released a full-length of mine (10-track CD + 3 remixes) which is, so far, Japan-only. The expectation is that it will be released in the rest of the world sometime this year, but I don't know the details. -- Dennis DeSantis www.dennisdesantis.com Mailing List: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Guilherme Menegon Arantes wrote: What you guys think about all these `Japan first' or `Japan focused' techno releases we have seen lately?
