Posted by Thunder5 on May-04-2004 00:33:

Well I always judge a company first off by their web design.. because that is one of my hobbies. Superficial? Yes. But it shows how professional they are, and how much their image matters to them.

But anyways, I'd ask for more information, and make sure you go through any contracts with a fine tooth comb .

You're in a rock band?

Posted by Mr.Mystery on May-04-2004 12:29:

The email seems a bit generic... almost like a bulk email...

Posted by dbl on May-04-2004 12:43:

Well I'd say, just get in contact with them, do not give out full tracks untill you have more information about their company. You can always try, what have you got to lose?

Posted by Vizay on May-04-2004 14:37:

if it was me I would stay away from that label, doesn't seem professional at all...

and I might be wrong but I got the impression that they doesn't have a single trancerelease on their record so far and that's not really a possitive thing for a tranceproducer

They are not a major label, but it's a great way to spread your material for now.

on the contrary, give them you full tracks only make sure that they have a copywrite on them (PA and SR), that should be all the protection you need.
