I guess my only reservation would be that a lot of tracks in one year by one artist could mean samey or lacklustre filler efforts, if it was an artist album I'd only want the good tracks, maybe 6 or 7 longer ones than the shorter ones on an album.

As for diversity in cd's.. i dunno how theyd work, like would a huge prog whore buy a cd that had a harder disc also, and vice versa.... in theory it's a good idea.... practice though, I'm not sure

Yeah most definitely. More music is typically better, until you start getting oversaturation. I guess if the top 10 producers in the world all started releasing 2 new albums per year it wouldn't oversaturate the market too much, but 3+ is pushing it.

i think that you miss understood what i was thinking or maybe i didn't state it very well...i was getting more at like what Tran3 said.

i didn't mean artist albums, but like if tiesto or sasha or someone came out with a couple of mix compilations or something...would that be too much?

also i was thinking more along the lines of a series done by different artists, but not multiple artists like the recent gatecrasher's, but more like GU...so an artist would do a cd and then a different artist would do an entirely different cd later in the year...

maybe i typed that up a little too fast and didn't explain it good enough...

yeah i'm a bit more sure now of what you mean.


Again my answer would be that it depended, as some dj's carry some tunes on for a long time, it'd be pointless in one sense, but there were compilations, like ferrys trance nation (1-4 & 2001 anyway) that did just that, all the good tracks in an amazing mix, but then companies like ministry of sound added so much cheese that buying those compilations was pointless

yeah...ok...good points i totally agree. anyone else?

if ASOT was given out weekly at stores, i would buy it. great music.

however, if an artist comes out with orignal music on a CD, i'd buy 1 or 2, but i'd be very skeptical because of the short amount of time he's spending on songs. quality over quantity!

i see what you're saying. so lets say someone who is producing a lot of stuff that seems to be popular...say Luke Chable this year. i don't know if you like him, but do you think that artists should perhaps not produce too much in a year in order to avoid a repetative sound and keep quality high?

no.

there are more than enough compilations released in the market (Godskitchen, GU, Gatecrasher) mixed by less popular djs who have just as much (or more) mixing ability.
