Axis my arse

[Miromiric]

actually it is quite the opposite, productionwise. ;)

. When someone who is already a millionaire comes out with such tacky, demeaning and downright money grabbing merchandise, you really do have to wonder

not really if that someone hails from the US of A.

Didnt he put some crazy price on some standard record he released a couple of years back?

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

Standard issue 97/98 London acid techno ebay prices that... :lol:

[koma]

but no one if forcing you to buy it
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

[philipryan]

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.

Personally I have all but 3 or 4 Axis records but when that came along I just though "**** you" and didn't buy it - managed to get it for a tenner in a bargain bin in France later... and it's only OK.

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

this one was readily available in the shops. at a jacked up price.

[The Overfiend]

The Prolekult quadruple pack was expensive.
Buying all the Pattern Plays at once was expensive.
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.

[The Overfiend]

You're a dink!


Anyone who knows me knows I can give an ounce of piss for this argument.

[Lag]

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

[koma]

so a man can't be serious about music
coz he's doing something besides that music?

i think its the other way around

[dirty_bass]

I thin kyou miss th epoint, it`s not really about the music, it`s more the philosophical stuff he uses.

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. ;)

seriously though...

i love his old axis and purpose maker records: they were essential and highly innovative.

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...
