Thats really scary, i didnt realise all them were closing shop. wow. Plus Grooves magazine as well (as a print entity anyway). All american as well, i wonder how much that has to do with it. I find the US market for Electronic Music completely non-existent these days. Whereas we are doing really well in the UK, Europe and Japan, i've not had any correspondence with my US distributor for about six months, i.e. they dropped my lame selling ass. I now only do a little bit of US press these days, to people i know who are interested in our material. As for trying to find new distribution - well, you can forget it. Yet paradoxically, i usually sell 6 times as many mp3 downloads (electronic) via the US itunes as i do anywhere else in the world. Its either that the US market has moved ahead of everyone else and adopted digital download as their preferred Distribution means, or else iTunes is filling the gap that the other distributors and stores are leaving open. thor --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
