I think this thread should be done.

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

Yannick will be doing all the spreading tonight.

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

yay! just redownloaded and it's now 192... i'm not gonna get involved in the discussions here, just to send good vibes to those that sorted this out.

*now listening to the benny profane re-release* :)

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

Here's to not devoting threads to criticizing criticism. :)

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

s'pose one does have a gripe, or a query, or something suchlike.

i've downloaded it and am keen to play it in my set - can't burn the fecker onto cd. i'm pissed off at that - i've bought it, after all...

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

redownload at 192kbps/44.1khz. should burn to CD easily then.

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

cheers yorkiedutchbloke!

Oops. Didn't expect it to be taken as an offence, just wanted to contribute something to the "positive vibe". Maybe jokes aren't always the correct instrument... I apologize.

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

Oh yeah, its at 192 kbps now. Thanks:)

Peach Tree, Moved Path and Showlder are fantastic.
Im listeing to that all day long. Like it more and more...;)

This is Underworld!

Well, for one, the band They Might Be Giants not only has exclusive new tracks every month, but they also do bi-weekly podcasts that showcase new material, sell all their live shows online for $10 each, as well as play dozens of free shows a year...

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

they might be giants............................played at my local wine bar awhile ago,they were even selling cds from the side of the stage during the gig !;)

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

Yes, but TMBG suck.

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

yeah i kinda thought the same thing - there is quite a big difference - i mean loads of struggling artsists (read shite) do free gigs all the time and have free downloads...

Re: will everyone just stop...
 

if this is the thread for complaining,
why are you all adding to it?

don't you think that's uncalled for?

34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j was just
pointing out that other groups do give
their listeners lots of perks...not just underworld..

i like other groups like 'big country', 'simple minds' etc,
and they also do a lot of cool things for their fans,
you might not like their music....but for the fans
it only makes them support their favorites more..

later

I'm sure there are some TMBG fans who think that Underworld sucks.

TMBG is an excellent counter-example to the usual lame attitude that artists (or at least record labels) have toward the 'net. They're hardly struggling artists, given that they've been around since 1982 and have won a grammy for their work, and they put out what was probably the first online release of a full-length album by in any established artist (in 1999!). They also started one of the first artist-owned online music stores, where I think they sell almost their entire back catalog in MP3 form at very reasonable prices, with some of it offered in FLAC as well.

Whether or not you like their music, it's worth noting and respecting everything they've done to try to push toward a more artist-owned model for promoting and selling music.

i never bought the album though,quality was shit.
