Errrmmm.... well, if you are reviewing rock n roll which sells billions of
copies, promos are the way to go. IDM on the other hand has a limited
audience; record companies that put out the best stuff are rarely rich from
massive album sales, you know, and can't send out promos to magazines or
whatever that will probably dis the records cos they don't have lyrics or
something.... let alone sending them to underground type reviewers who
don't reach many potential buyers with their reviews. Besides, all members
of this list are required to go out and spend all their money and time
hunting for and buying everything that comes out.
