NO SHIT! Is it me or isn't ALL techno/dance music "limited edition" since singles only get pressings of a couple thousand or so. When the majors start coming out with things that are stamped "limited edition of 20,000" it makes me laugh. Like oh WOW! I'm one of 20,000 suckers that bought into this BULLSHIT! I never bought ISDN. They re-released it anyway so now what? Is it limited to 40,000? What a crock! I still see copies at record stores ALL THE TIME! I've got 100% Pure's 7th release by Edge Of Motion which is limited to 500 copies!!! Now THAT'S limited! I wish record companies would stop feeding us crap that doesn't make sense anyway. If a major is going take the time to put out anything in the first place you bet your ass it's going to be a full production run. How else are they going to make money? Do you think they really CARE about the music they put out? HELL NO! It's all money folks. It's got to sell and sell LOTS or else they don't give a shit. Oh sorry. I'm ranting a bit too much so I'll shut up now. I just HATE majors! Don't buy in to it folks. It's all a LIE! -robert --> __ _ _ _____ _____ _____ / _\ | || || _ \|_ _|/ _ \ / /_\\ | -- || |_) | _| |_ | (_) | ______________ /______\\____/|_____/|_____|\_____/ ( *electronic* )
