corbz: what herman means is that the sales arent what they used to be, and he is right. When we refer to a 'big' seller we can only speak relativly to sales at this point in time. Which are not what they used to be. I cant see a record selling 'big' in current terms just because it has chris lib/dave on it. I think if you anylise sales you will find Hermans school of techno outsells london stuff on an average release. Nothing against the music, Its just a broader sound than london techno.
I know a fair few artists people would consider 'big' who are pretty damn skint at the mo. :( :cry:
