I will first say I agree with you on the majority of your points.. I will
tell you where I disagree. ;) (just so you don't think I disgree with more
than I agree on what you have to say)

I have created such a site.. In fact, it's actually brand new.. You can
check it out at
http://idm.atonal.org/ ..

Check the above site, it has it all, erm.. except the CD-R selling
thing... But really I am a bit reluctant to use the site as a medium for
'selling' anything. I created the site for IDM lovers to get the scoop on
IDM stuff, and for IDM'ers to come together and share USEFULL
information on a multitude of IDM-related topics ranging from webcasts and
interviews to individual artist and up-and-coming artists.. Like someone
just posted something about a new artist Budgie here, links to his
music... That's the kinda stuff I think we're all interested in..
As an example, you can look at Kracfive.. I haven't once seen Chris post
to the list asking people to buy his cd's (i may be mistaken).. On the
contrary, it is via reviews and other things, and sending promos to
people, that he has achieved a nice little recording label..

I am all for this... Any writers on the list who are interested in writing
articles/editorials/features and maybe conducting interviews for an upbeat
on-line IDM news site, please contact me at hillie@atonal.org ;)
I don't think we would be able to kill the larger labels, but such a
notion really isn't right.. and I disagree with you that labels like Warp
are killing the smaller ones.
Right now I would buy a release from Skam, Markant, Isophlux or music aus
strom without even hearing it first... You would have to pay me a lot of
money to do the same with any Warp release nowadays. As far as the
financial situation goes, I don't give a hoot about that :) After all,
those darned Back Street Boys are always gonna beat us out anyhow, even
though they suck, and I can tell you that there's no way in hell we can
compete with a hoard of 15 year old girls man. :)

hey, i like TDR.. those arrows are wicked.. :) I think they should put
out some clothing outfits.. Maybe they can have it have a bunch of arrows
that all point to the person's ass or something.. and of course they would
be in all different directions depending on where on the outfit they
are..
but seriously tho, i think TDR does some really cool stuff. There is
another firm in the Washington DC area called Airline Industries which
also does some very nice things.
but I agree with you, we do need some other firms besides TDR to be doing
stuff like gfx for albums.. We have the guy who did the various AFX
covers.. like I Care Because You Do and TGP: Soundtracks for Living, but
that's only 2.

of it, I'd like one tooo :)
