A week or so ago I asked for information about starting up a
label. Lots of people replied and most were in some way
helpful, others were synical but raised important points
which are worth thinking about. One issue raised was that I
needed contributors, money, Determination and a
distributor. I've enquired into the distribution and costs,
and I generally have a 'Game plan' worked out, But only if I
get some contributions together...basically if I get a load
of tracks that I like, and that I am willing to put on a CD
compilation then I'll become determined enough to release a
Compliation. I'm not going to release a CD for the sake of
releasing something. So now the first part of the process
begins...if you are an Electronic artist and you're willing
to send out demos, which may or may not eventually end up on
a compilation CD, please would you mail me and i'll send you
an address. If alternatively you want details also mail me
back.
If you know of any other lists that electronic composers are
likely to be on, please distribute my E-Mail address and the
basic details.
One person asked if I was deadly serious...I'm Not deadly
but I am serious. I am also a music lover not a businessman
so be prepared for slack ideas rather than business
principals. All submissions will have to be tape, well not
DAT at least. I promise to listen to every tape I get, and
I also will try to reply to everyone who sends me stuff. I
would just like to re-itterate I'll only set something in
motion if I get a load of tracks I want to release, so
nothing is definate. If you're not interested I don't blame
you.

PS..
Someone wrote and in the message said all I've got to lose
is the price of a tape and the postage costs...I ilked that
attitude, however some people were worried about copyright.
I will not use anything unless I've got the consent of the
artist, I will also not steal anything, but if you are
worried copyright your tracks before you send them out.
All replies gratefully recieved.
