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:

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...
