i remember posting a comment a long, long time ago now asking what was happening with the releases as a few people i know were getting released and i was interested to hear peoples work, got a similiar bunch of excuses as i remember.
it's a shame, as i think a few people were looking forward to both hearing this and being involved, and now i dont even know what won or what was due to come out, and it must be clocking on for about 2 years or something silly now surely????
and yeah, if they are on sale then your right there will be profit being made somewhere along the line, if only a small amount depending on sales, but even so, a label putting the music out, but not actually getting in touch with the artists whose work they are selling, yet still physically selling the work, nah, that's not good at all. Even if the person intended to get in touch but never did, well, the intention doesnt really mean anything if, inevitably, they never made an attempt to finally get in touch with people
not a great example of how to do business this really
