"Seems" being the operative word here. You wouldn't think it was a success if you were judging according to the IDM lists attitude towards Electroclash. And, after all, we represent the cd buying public (maybe more than you might think). I wonder who the intended audience of this marketing campaign actually *is*. I am guessing it is people like us (not the band). If you want Top 40 exposure, and to sell millions of cd's you need it, you need the radio stations to play your stuff, big, corporate radio stations. Here is a TrackList for Elektroclash, a comp being sold in Virgin Stores: 1. Get Me Off (Peaches Remix) - Basement Jaxx 2. Were Only Science - Dot Allison 3. Euro Trash Girl - Chicks On Speed 4. Hot Room - Linda Lamb 5. Aa XXX - Peaches 6. Do The Radioactive - Radioactive Man 7. Dont Stop The Beat - Anthony Rother 8. Life On MTV - Miss Kitten And The Hacker 9. Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass - 9 1 F 10. Love Explosion - Alden Tyrell 11. Red Leather - Peaches And Gonzales 12. Felix Da Housecat (The Grooveretro Radio Mix) - Ladytron Pla 13. Lucida Obsura - Crossover 14. Please Stay (Royksopp Mix) - Mekon (Feat Mark Almond) 15. Grab My Shaft - Louie Austen (Feat Peaches) 16. Vicious Game - David Carretta 17. Dark Times - Dexorcist 18. I Dont Care - Dexter 19. Shemale - Sir Drew 20. Plastique - Creme De Menthe Are these artists hitting the Billboard charts soon? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
