Your worst acid techno moment?

[Athar]

i have to say athar that i agree with steve 100%

i think to limit yourself to vinyl is a bad move for the label. supplying in a vinyl format is definitly to be applauded but mp3, in this day and age, is going to reach a much bigger market 9whether it be legal or not).

Well, by not releasing digitally you are closing off your market.
I don`t DJ any more, so I don`t buy vinyl.
I buy all my music digitally. If there is osmething I like that is vinyl only, I will download an illegal rip.
So the artist has lost my sale.
You can`t stop piracy, but if you make your music available on all formats, those that love the music will pay for it.

Vinyl usually gets ripped the same day as release, so not selling digital versions of your vinyl does absolutely nothing to stop piracy.

Vinyl is very expensive and most people these days don`t want to pay £8 for an ep of which they may only like 1 track.

Sad state of affairs, but reality is reality. Embrace the future or get left behind in the ditch is what I say.

thanks guys for the comment, really appreciated it

ive thought all the time if something will be strictly limited on vinyl and unavailable (legaly) on mp3 then dj's and collectors which like the release will buy it on vinyl because they have no other options and it will help to survive the label.

but slowly im thinking about moving into digital option too,
yeah i know we can't win with the piracy - its sad but very true,
as far i know most of the digital releases are "ripped and releases (again)" inside the piracy scene too, faster than vinyl version im affraid,
i seen the statistics (in polish newspaper) that 9 of 10 mp3's way of downloads are total illegaly,
only one of ten getting a chance to earn some bullshit money by label on it, scary isn't ?

anyway i would like to stay with releases on wax,
it is very important part of the techno subculture and i cant imagine future with the music only in digital version, it sounds like worst nightmare for me.
