to add more to the toytronic story.
martin contacted me if he could license the track 'shift' from the service
pack by cim, released on delsin in 1999, to be included on neurokinetic.
that was ok with us, so we even did put up a contract etc..
no advance because it was all small labels, alternative music together, etc
so simon walley sent a md with all the eight tracks,
and when the 'neurokinetic' things were released, there seemed to be
another track on the vinyl version!!
so not only 'shift' on cd, but also the track 'recursive' on vinyl
without the artist nor the label knowing about it!
confusion at my side - no replies to emails, but in the meanwhile i knew he
did reply to others people email, i had to call myself to recieve some
copies, and the artist still has to recieve those.. & when i asked about
the emails, "well, i wasn't online for some weeks", while i knew he was
emailing with others.
and furthermore also the releases of neurokinetic don't mention any license
or credits to the original labels.
the reason he gave about that vinyl: "oh didn't i ask? well, it's only 500
copies. and it doesn't sell that either"
when i spoke with serge from clone/dub lately he told he didn't license
anything as he had bad experiences with martin toytronic in the past.
well, that 'just another' story - and i'm very wondering about the
financial part later on. it's good to know that martin (gimmik) is working
at sister ray in berwick street and that he seems to have an own way of
doing these music things.
