I wish there were an option to exclude previously released tracks. I've chopped some labels from my list for abusing the system in this way.

Of course, it pales in comparison to the standard practice in the psytrance scene... I guess someone read the Long Tail and derived from that a strategy that amounts to hurling a barrage of recycled tracks at the public in the hopes that something will stick.

if something works one time will work again.

Works + Sucks = Profit.

Back in years music was about creating a piece of art, almost like when you see a picture or a sculpture. Now they don't judge if it's good or bad, just judge how much money they'll earn with it.

And general people like shit music and repetitive, being innovative is against the rules of commercial music.

Many reasons...

The same artist chose to remaster or improve the track and make a 2010 version.

The artist decided to assign the track to remixers.

The release didn't get a proper release the first time or was a limited release at the time and they are now making it available in other formats.

i hardly hardly ever saw a recent version that beaten the original... it's just like the 20% off on the juno downloads of Ti�sto collections, they're trying to sell records that are with heavy dust.

Very true... with the exception of may be Monkey Forest, Circa Forever, and 1 or 2 of the Ferry remixes from his recent contest imo. As with others, they never should have been touched in the first place.

These track were their time too far ahead

The Aly & Fila remix of Circa Forever is tight, that song boost me up. The Sean Tyas remix of Daytime is brilliant also mmm Vascotia - Verano all remixes suck even S.T's... some tracks just have very good sounds/structure and if you replace them you killed the track...

They get re-released on different labels because of distribution rights. Some labels can only release in certain countries or regions, some labels are big enough to release worldwide. When they're small and have limited funds/promotion, they release in a certain area and can cut a deal with another label to release in their area/region/whatever. Also, if the label wants one of their artists to provide a remix, it's easier to re-release it on their label as opposed to the original home label.

If you're talking about Beatport or digital labels, a lot of the times the tracks will get re-signed to another label so they can put it on a compilation or mix of some kind.

Yes, but surely what this thread is really referring to is the same tracks being released every 6 months on the same label for no other reason than to sell a few more downloads.

Armada being a classic example of doing this.

producers have no creativity anymore...easier to rip off someone else and make money then to actually think about making new and creative tracks.
