Archipel is probably one of the finest netlabels around. |

| They can be great. But sometimes its easy to hear why the music is free. |

| You love netlabels... as opposed to what? Labels who do physical releases? I can guarantee you that "real" labels are of much higher quality overall. Digital releases usually have pretty rough production and are musically bland. |

| There are two sides to the "I hear why it's free" argument. Netlabels do have a ways to go in improving the quality of their products, sure enough, but the elimination of the bottom line also opens up new creative possibilities. I think the two finest examples of this are ManMadeMan's recent Free To Listen album (their best yet) and the recent emergence of New Born, whose 24-minute track The Observer would never have been commercially released simply due to length. The bottom line places restrictions on musical development... within a "gift economy," it is possible to regain something lost to commercial concerns. |

Considering the amount of crap released even on vinyl, I'm not so sure. |
