Neo Ouija isn't American I don't believe.
But still...i do see a lot of people buying (or stealing)
digital only copies...more than ever before.

Thats really scary, i didnt realise all them were closing shop. wow.
Plus Grooves magazine as well (as a print entity anyway).
All american as well, i wonder how much that has to do with it. I find the
US
market for Electronic Music completely non-existent these days. Whereas we
are
doing really well in the UK, Europe and Japan, i've not had any
correspondence
with my US distributor for about six months, i.e. they dropped my lame
selling
ass.
I now only do a little bit of US press these days, to people i know who are
interested in our material. As for trying to find new distribution - well,
you
can forget it. Yet paradoxically, i usually sell 6 times as many mp3
downloads
(electronic) via the US itunes as i do anywhere else in the world. Its
either
that the US market has moved ahead of everyone else and adopted digital
download as their preferred Distribution means, or else iTunes is filling
the
gap that the other distributors and stores are leaving open.
