Repressed Techno

[lunatrick]

no one moans about re-releasing films on dvd do they? I just picked up 'good fella's' and the 'day of the dead' on dvd, both of which I've seen before...are you seriously suggesting that i should re-condition a 16mm film projector just to watch these?.....be serious you knob..

I didn't catch 'when I rock' by schumacher the first time around..bloody glad I did on the repress tho. good art is good art.full stop. I got a copy of squat rock (and the remix by dtd is the absolute bollocks, ok enough blatant homage already!) on the re-release - bona fide absobollockinglutely classic mate. Personally I don't really dig leibing or speedy j that much, but hey I've played records by both of them on times, but to suggest you just push reason and it's the same is total shite......just look at the amount of lame records about.........

personally I think i've you've made a piece of art and you own the rights to it (god help if you don't!) then should make it available forever

luntric

please spell my name right please......ok sorry for the knob thing.

no i dont presume ppl are raking it in.

look,i know all about the decline of techno. i have my own story. as do hundreds & thousands of active djs & producers. be they bedroom or international.

and i dont know every fine workin of a label, but i know that soem ppl have all but given up makin money off the wax, and jus take the dj fees as their income.

i'm not bitter about the cash. i would jud 'prefer' to see new material as opposed to repress's & remixes.

look, i dont have a problem here.. most of the neagtive has been at me, and all i done was voice an opinion. ppl flew off the handle about Reason & Speedy j.

jus cos i would rather see new & as opposed to recycled tunes, dont mean i'm gonna boycott or hunt down labels or artists.

when i go into our local record store, its pretty much repress central. cos they cant shift anyhting new... and theres 101 reasons why vinyl has declined.. MP3, Live, cdj's... blah blah blah.

i jus thought as a topic it might bring some interesting replys... as well as the usual dose of 'lighten up' and 'your being a knob' style musings lol

which it did :D

[SlavikSvensk]

well, this thread is a BIG disappointment...i thought it would be about "repressed techno," not "re-pressed techno..."

:bonk:

[lunatrick]

yes but they own that art....they created it. to me it makes sense to kepp repressing it(provided somebody wants it) basically forever....I know I would.

[lunatrick]

basically forever

new name for the collective henry? ok bit drunk........

[rhythmtech]

now THATS funny!

[dirty_bass]

True, but their really was very little porpoise to it now was there.

[djshiva]

if rob hood's "minimal nation" had never been repressed, the lousy bastard that stole the original from me would have won.

[djshiva]

does anyone else find it funny that this forum topic can also be read "rePRESSed techno"? as in, techno that is keeping it's true feelings down deep inside?

maybe it's just me...

The manufacturing cost of vinyl has remained fairly stable.
The price distributers pay the labels has remained fairly stable.
The dealer price from distributer to outlet has remained fairly stable.
So why are tunes selling in the shops for 7-8 quid?
If it`s overheads for shops, then why is the price from online stores not much different?

Just for the record, the average price a label gets for each tune sold is about 2 quid from the distributer per tune.
After manufacturing and promo mail outs etc, I think the artist ends up with on average about 80p profit per record sold, maybe less.
£8 ---> 80p
Go figure.

It seems like the undergournd is the closer to the mainstream music world than we would like to admit.
The artist sits at the bottom of the pile.

you're talking domestic releases for £7/8 ? can't say i've ever come across a record shop charging £8 for a uk release. if they are then **** 'em, there's still plenty of stores charging £5 or £5.50 for uk 12's.

how much do these places charge for imports then?

[davethedrummer]

what are u on about goalposts for ???

no not really.
what i meant was that your just slightly changing your point each time you come on here .

but you'll never agree .....in fact we'll never agree it seems..
personally i think the way you are expressing yourself here makes you look really ignorant and foolish

but hey

thats just my opinion right?

[Si the Sigh]

This threads on a loop innit?!

[barry_fyasko]

lazy unimaginative money grabbers ?
repressed vinyl.. personally, i think its a sign of apathy & money grabbing

no i dont presume ppl are raking it in
i'm not bitter about the cash

[Si the Sigh]

I'll put the kettle on...
