| i think l-vee is just going through a difficult period at the moment, what with his album being spread over the internet before it was even released and now the closure of bonzai. but he'll get over it, no doubt.. it is not possible that someone puts so many emotion into a track, when he's just in it for the money.. it's his passion, so i think he'll be back for sure! |

When are these bull claims that MP3's are the sole reason why the 'dance' industry is dying going to stop? The reason is simple, STOP PUTTING OUT MUSIC. 90% of ANY music genre simply sucks, why the should I pay $20 for a CD with 1 or 2 songs I like? NO THANKS. As for Lightning Records, they had so many artists signed that they were releasing more than good. I blame nobody but Lightning records for their demise. They were more concerned with pumping out #'s and #'s of records in hopes of increasing sales rather than focusing on releasing GOOD records.
I have no problem buying music I like, but there's so much out there it's not funny and MP3's help avoid buying junk. So who is to blame? The artists for making music or the labels for pushing out music? One thing's for sure, the end user is not the one to blame.
I do however, have serious problems with people who make money selling MP3 cd's, that's the only case where MP3's hurt the industry. They're a free and widely acceptable promotion tool, and if you put out good music, people will buy it, as simple as that.
As for Mr. Airwave, yes he's a very good artist and one of my favorite producers, but even he releases his share of crap (latest Green Martian Remixes and such). I mean Wizardry is one of the best tunes out this year but then you look at Harmonic Minor and makes you say "Hmmm". Granted that you can't make a hit track everytime around, but atleast make an attempt at doing so, rather than throwing out mediocre tracks.
I honestly do hope that he doesn't call it quits. I can understand his anger because his album was 'released' weeks before going retail, but it's to be expected. The people that liked it bought it, the people that didn't, didn't. No harm done, unless some jackass decided to sell CDR copies of it. Other artists deal with it. All this talking about "he has to pay the bills like anybody else, bla bla bla", what will he do IF he quits? Why not do "this" from the start? Music should be more about the passion rather than making a quick buck, that's atleast the way I look at it. I think that L-Vee is just looking for someone or something to place blame at, so naturally it's directed at MP3's. Even before MP3s were even realized, people were bootlegging tapes and CDs. The MP3 format is just another medium for something that's been happening since forever. |
