Most people on this list are active dj types, or record afficionatos.
Looking at the total popularity of the Gescom work (a bunch of 12"
records), I begin to wonder why skam doesn't press a CD of the Gesom
music? I know it would sell. It would also enable a lot of idm
audience further exposure to some very, very creative music.
Am I missing a point??
Furthermore, after visiting my local Kiosk, electronica is going to be
pushed to the pop music status(even more) in this next year. Big money
is coming into play. Big revenue expected. Nothing wrong with that. I
hope this motivates the labels to produce the new music in a variety of
formats for the listener.
As a side note. A recent interview of the tele had a record exec agent
remarking that the new multimedia CD music performance format is coming
more and more in demand (Motion and video). Most record producers,
distributor, etc. aren't too thrilled since it adds one more demension
to the marketability of an artist.
He remarked, "Most of the Indie artists I work with have no acting
ability. They are musicians!"
Sorry for the long winded non-explanation...
