Just picked up Urmur Bile Trax today. So far it sounds all good, but
that's not what I want to complain about. I picked up the import version
for $12.99 which, according to listmembers, is the exact price being
charged at Tower for the domestic version. The obvious question is this:
what the funk is the point of a domestic version at all if you're going
to charge the same damn price for it? The entire point of the CD in the
first place was to treat the fans to some great music for a very
reasonable mid-range price. Astralwerks has completely ignored this and
jacked up would should be a $7.99 to $8.99 CD to $12.99, the price of a
full length album. Astralwerks seems to be in the habit of overpricing
ep's and singles and frankly, it's getting a little retarded. Check out
the recent EP/single releases from FSOL and The Chemical Brothers which
contain 4 tracks or whatever and are priced at anywhere from $7.99 to
$8.99 at various stores. Ridiculous. These should be 5 dollars tops. I
don't even bother waiting for the Astralwerks singles anymore (which
always seems to turn up after the imports) because there's no price
difference. Astralwerks, get your shit together and stop ripping us off.
Bye for now,
