Ive contacted CDuctive and while they are happy to send anyonea contract who is interested, they have asked me not to post it to mailing lists. So i suggest anyone interested in the small print contacts CDuctive directly. > Steve as a musician (plus any other artists who are on the list) what > are your opinions on the above from a musicians perspective?

It depends whether you have exclusive rights for the music you are releasing,as a customer i can see no drawbacks... but as an artist id say that id rather anyone who wanted my music actually bought my 12" or LP than bought a cdr with a track of mine on, at least for a couple of months after its initial release anyway... i think after that period of time i would be perfectly happy to liscence my music. > What do other people on the list thing about it as a way of keeping a > small independent electronic music labels back-catalogue available > indefinitely? I think as far as this idea goes it is a brilliant idea... however i shouldnt takethe focus off the original small labels... i think you would have to be careful that you still promoted and retained the labels identity.
