for the record: if your intent was to count only 'official' releases,
then you should have said so. certain cdr releases were official
releases offered for sale to the general public & not just promo
copies. by putting cdrs out of the loop altogether, you're only
contributing to the old idea that 'it's not real until a label's put its
pawn on it' which is absolutely false.
releases from phthalo, saundart, pitchcadet, monotonik, tomas jirku,
lexaunculpt, etc. have been available _this year_ on cdr format for the
general public to purchase: they are indeed _official_ & they deserve
some fucking credit. & i'm not even going to get started on mp3.
