OR any other cdr label that charges WAY too much for cdr's.. especially when they come with little artwork. i REALLY enjoy dimitri's music -- his label releases (that i have heard) and his phthalocyanine material. in fact, for a LONG time it seemed to me that i was alone in liking the pthalocyanine material -- id play it for folks, and really had a bicth of a time turning them on to the releases/other material i had at the time. i really do think the phthalocyanine stuff is amazing -- quite unique, and quite noisey -- and damn it, i love the noise aspect -- especially of navy warship. i am also one to never really expect promos, and do not mind buying the music i enjoy (though during this tax season it gets hard.. :) (and, the occurances of me getting promos with my radio show are few and far between) that being said -- i think that the concept of charging 12-17$USD for a cdr thats made in the states is ABSURD. especially when there is no artwork. yes, its all about the music -- but that to me is just getting to the level of silliness. and i have found that the cdrs that i have paid so much for -- well, they never quite hit me the same -- mostly because i feel ripped off. so, yeah. i love the music, but fuck paying so much for a cdr. but hey, if it works, and you can get folks paying 17$ for a cdr that has no artwork because its limited (and my oh my how idm list folks love that shit) -- then you may just be doing something right? who knows, but its not for me. cheers, chris.
