To get your stuff released? <beatbox fill> Okay, a real attempt at an answer... Maybe Isophlux wants to establish themselves as "the label" for "this act", for the sake of consistency. So that if you think of "this act"'s work, you'll always be sure to know that Isophlux has released it -- instead of the case of "Oh yeah, they put out that one EP by them years ago", which would rarely register as a bleep in one's memory. Although if one really wanted to follow "this act"'s work, he/she would probably have to keep track of "this act"'s aliases on other labels as well. So the attempt at consistency seems a little wasted. It seems a bit strange and Draconian, but it does make a little sense. I stress "a little". ======================================================================= Brian MacDonald <brianm@kuci.org> ======================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
