first of all, some people keep saying "phthalo's prices are too high, phthalo does this, dimitri does that... i can't believe phthalo AND these other cd-r labels like that..." i'm not pointing fingers at anyone, but i've read more than one post that gave me the impression that there are people among us who think Dimitri's business practices are actually commonplace. uhh... no. i respect dimitri a lot, he's recently started distroing cd-rs from my label (underscore) and we've talked about pricing and he knows where i stand, but i don't anyone can honestly disagree with me when i say Dimitri and his buisness ethics are an ANOMALY... i think maybe that's what Dimitri is going for... being avant-garde musically just wasn't enough... he needed to employ avant-garde economic policy to complete the equation. the desired effect may just be something like this: [listener receives cd in mail, rips it open, pops it in stereo:] "whoa! i can't believe it! this artist is OUT OF HIS MIND!" [listener retrieves bill from the package, looks at price, eyes pop out of head:] "whoa! i can't believe it! this label is OUT OF HIS MIND!" rjck./!)_ armchairbeatarchitecture!)www.gl.umbc.edu/~nworth1 ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
