I know that title -BONZAI- means quality but nobody need all the fucking sublables ?!
We only need the best producers & only one label
I sure that Airwave & M.I.K.E will open their own labels or together one label, that all we need

airwave has his own label

MP3 Downloads - not an excuse.

No MP3 = Less international (particularly North American) exposure, less international demand, less international sales. More local sales since there's less piracy.

MP3 = International exposure, demand & a few more sales; a few less local sales due to piracy. (I'm not counting foreign piracy in this case because if the "foreigns" didn't become familiar with the works via MP3 piracy, none of them would buy it anyway. Download alone = no money, no download+no sale = no money; same thing)

Both situations probably amount to about the same sales levels.

Compilations - not an excuse.

Lost money from low compilation sales vs vinyl? Go to a store, look how much an entire compilation costs, then look how expensive ONE VINYL WITH TWO SONGS ON IT is. More money from compilations? WTF??? "But the vinyl is only bought by DJs. The comps are what the general public buy." Given the awful commercial dance crap on the radio these days, if you're Joe Public, would YOU take a chance on Super Trance Volume 5??

I have a theory that Lightning were doing deals with organized crime. One party screwed the other party out of $$$ or someone slept with the wrong chick; then five big gun-toting guys in pin striped suits came busting into the head office and said, "All right you trance ******s, this rave is over! WE'RE SHUTTING YOU DOWN!"

Then again, I could be just blowing chunks.
