Sam is right.. Why is it OK for e.g. Downwards to make 5 different t-shirts but not OK for Axis to make socket wrenches?
Clothing has no more to do with music than car-racing does.
Actually car racing has a lot more to do with car racing than you think. Its all about harmonics, balance, tuning, focus and intent. I know that music has much in common with racing, I have lived with both for a very long time...
Anyway, who cares what he does with HIS business. There are many out there who diversify their music business and lifestyle and dabble in many things. Some just choose to sell drugs to kiddies, some choose to sell slipmats to kiddies....whatever.
I must add that I have renounced racing about 10 years ago (having competed for 20yrs prior) and lead a lifestyle with far less carbon emissions now. Techno was the perfect substitution for the head-space I had while racing.
"Actually car racing has a lot more to do with car racing than you think"
I refuse to believe that.

he's making money outside music. why would the music be the only thing he does in life? cause thats underground, thats real techno attitude? bollocks...
damn, I wonder what would people say if they knew some techno DJ's are into porn industry.
if I had a money to invest, I'd do the same, coz thats where the money lies. porn. :cheese:
special to him? or special to those who are still buying that record? those who want to hear it on a party? not that is my favourite, but the track did passed the test of time. and if he got the chance to work with an orchestra, why not? the way I see it, its one more thing due to which people might stop looking on techno as drug addicts music.Quote:
i really don't know what makes the bells so special to him. i mean if i had done that one myself i think i'd be sick of even hearing it mentioned. he has this blue potential or sth. dvd coming out - with an orchestra or sth. guess what - the bells is on that as well - sick.
i mean i'd feel weird making classically trained musicians play that shizzle. who's he think he is
plus, dont know if you heard it, but its good.
at least every track of his sounds pretty different from the others in his catalogue. most producers today are releasing bunch of records every year, that sound the same.
and then we wonder why those records arent selling lol
thats our buttman :lol:Quote:

And from a business point of view it isn't a very good move, How many people are going to buy these products?
Adam bayer still makes good tunes and is a good Dj, can the same be said for Mills?
actually it is quite the opposite, productionwise. ;)
not really if that someone hails from the US of A.Quote:

yeh, I think it was 'Every Dog... Vol 3'. Couldn't get it in any shop (in Dublin anyway) for less than €35.Quote:

remember the crazy prices for that analord series?
anyway, some dj's are paying 50, 100, 150 euros to other djs for the records that can't be found in shops anymore
not sure if I would do it
but, its their choice
That's true, but it could equally be said that he's deliberately exploiting the fact that there are hardcore Mills devotees out there - and they will pay anything just so as to not have a gap in their collection.Quote:

but we are not talking ebay here. we are talking the price it was in the shops.Quote:

If people love it
Because there are those out there that do.
It will sell.
He didn't put a Mill in his pocket for dolo.
Being a smart business person does not make you any less of what he is.
Jeff Mills is still Jeff Mills.
Just like Joey Beltram is still Joey Beltram.
And so on and so forth.
Blatant "I need money" merchanidising is just ugly.
As is branding, the scourge of the 90`s.
If he didn`t spout all this damn philosophy all the time, then it would be fine for him to just turn into a dollar suck machine.
However his philosophy mixed with blatant and crass branding, makes him a bit of a dink.
Hero and originator of shit or not.
You're a dink!

Anyone who knows me knows I can give an ounce of piss for this argument.
yeah, this sure is funny
seeing him being all deep and musical on every single interview i watched
i havent laughed like this since the great punk movement
so a man can't be serious about music
coz he's doing something besides that music?
i think its the other way around
I thin kyou miss th epoint, it`s not really about the music, it`s more the philosophical stuff he uses.
:nono: hey now...not all of us are materialistic. in fact, i got my set of diamond-encrusted gold teeth and all i had to do is sell my kidney. ;)Quote:

i don't care as much for his newer music, but it's still ok.
this s***, however, i don't like at all. but as koma pointed out, i don't have to buy it, do i? and the old records are still essential...
yes. but were they priced at double that of normal records? :mad:Quote:

what i want to know is did every dog has its day pt3 pay for his racing car?
keeping it real. :roll:
you got the grip of it, my son.Quote:

i don't care what you all say, j mills rocks. waveform transmission 3 was a turning point in my life..
his set at tribal gathering 96 universe just blew me away.
i love jeff mills.. techno would not be techno without jeff mills.
Agreed 110 percent.Quote:

You never know when you'll need a set of Record Label Patented driving gloves!
no-one said anything about his music (i think). i was just wondering why a record was twice the price it normally is in the shops? And i got no answer. He can market all he wants doesnt really bother me. I just wanna know if charging double for that record is ok in your books? Maybe ive got it wrong. But if you all just want to stay schtum and gloss over it then fair enough.Quote:

Now someone give me a rational explaination or tell me that there was a mistake with the distribution coming into dublin or something and i'll shut my ass.
I NEVER bitch about producers on here. But the above was something that annoyed me a couple of years back and DID change my perception on mills due to all the philosopical stuff he comes out with.
anyway.
if i dont get a reply then fair enough i win.
haha
Ass, I`d be laughing at beyer too then.Quote:

Capitalist pig dog.
You know...you play the "nice guy looking to better techno" card a lot, but I swear 90% of yours posts on here are negative or bashing someone/something.Quote:
