Originally posted by a98 digital releases are the future, weather we like it or not. personally i think few years back they even released a lot of crap on vinyl, atleast nowadays tracks on vinyl need to be quality (unless the artist is already very known = name sells) and if my own opinnion hasn't come clear yet, i really think respected labels, weather they are half digital or totally digital, still have high standards for the digital releases. don't let few bad releases ruin the whole new culture we are having here.

I think you've misunderstood my initial post somewhat since that's more or less the same thing I was trying to say
The established labels do bring out quality releases, it doesn't matter if it's vinyl, CD or MP3. It's these new labels that keep popping up at an increasing rate that worry me.

Originally posted by a98 well it was basicly that "90% of the digital releases are crap" statement that got me going. now you say that "some of the digital labels", but 90% of the whole digital catalogue is a bit more than just some. anyway i'm sorry if i've gotten the wrong image of you, i don't follow this forum much, but when i do that's the picture i've gotten, i apologize. anyway i respect your opinnion on this case, sometimes people opinnions just come out a little harsh, like they are the truth or something. digital releases are the future, weather we like it or not. personally i think few years back they even released a lot of crap on vinyl, atleast nowadays tracks on vinyl need to be quality (unless the artist is already very known = name sells) and if my own opinnion hasn't come clear yet, i really think respected labels, weather they are half digital or totally digital, still have high standards for the digital releases. don't let few bad releases ruin the whole new culture we are having here. for instance, i got payed more for my digital remix to deep blue, than i got from my vinyl remix to monster tunes, so atleast that label takes digital releases seriously.

I heard your remix of "Unchained Melody" a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago.

I actually liked it even though it was a bit on the cheesy side

Wrong, and I resent comments like that. That's as stupid as me saying 90% of Brits are wankers or something like that.

I can meet ten new people and nine of them won't be wankers. I can hear ten new trance tracks from random sources and nine of them will be a waste of time.

95% of digital releases absolutely stink

Does that make all of you happier? Can you really say that more then 5%, or even 1% are ceative at all?

The fact is that when I listen to however many tunes a day on digital releases, 95+% of the good ones were previously released on records.

I think it's prety simple, if it is "that good" it would be on vinyl/cd.

I personally beleive that there is more creative and interesting music floating around out there than any single person could hear. I tried to pick from my collection the things that might interest other people on this site, and I put them in my sig. All this talk makes me wonder if everyone is of the opinion that all my picks suck, I tried to do a diverse selection of stuff so that everyone could at least enjoy one of them.

I find most of the things I'm picking are made by ameteurs who dont really try very hard to get published and rather just put up music on the internet for the joy of sharing it, so it might not be the most fantastic valuable thing evar, but there is a certain charm to it IMHO.

It isnt that simple at all, because people buy fewer records these days and labels arent prepared to take risks like they used to.

The problem is that there is 100x more crap then there is of creative & interesting stuff.

Maybe sites should make a seperate section for the creative & interesting tracks, and put the others somewhere else...

If a track is that good then it wouldn't be a risk, would it?

As we all know, quality doesnt equal sales. Soon, only records that sell 1000 and upwards will be released. Forget underground stuff.
Then we'll all love digital labels hehe.

you're right, for digital labels quantity = sales & thats the problem...
