this will soon change, with a pc, a fax machine and a telephone you can
change the world;

the us labels are not alone in this respect, the best music i have ever
heard was released on little labels from europe like weird dream,
u-trax, phoq u & interferance who were lucky to sell 50 copies
*worldwide*, with
the uk market slowly sliding down the pan, labels now need to think
'global'
& beyond their own territory's, the need to hook up and create a network
to fight the majors at their own game is paramount, unity is strength
remember...
look at submerge for the correct way to run an operation
distributors, shops, journalists & 'the man in the street', everyone can
play
their part either by posting reviews to magazines/e-zines/discussion
lists, organising club nights,spinning out the records or just verbally
spreading the word
in 20 years time when people look back on this period of transition will
everyone out there be proud of what they have achieved?
