I totally agree, but I think the better artists out their work just as hard to define their sound in a similar way... This music isn't by any means created in a vacuum.

While the difference may not be great there is, allegedly, a difference when it comes to permanence. Also some older CD players can't read CDR's the same, or may not recognize the disk on repeated listenings. I'm all for the smaller labels, but it can be hard to 1. get distribution, and 2. get people to buy your work, as CDR's could equal not so good. maybe this will change? -donna _________________________________________________________________ Join the world?s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
