Barking Instrumentals

[stimpee]

Just want to re-iterate this post here: http://www.borndirty.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9128

Promo or not, no links here please.

[lowbit]

It's okay to post links to copies of the promo for sale, though, isn't it?

Anyway, as someone who's sat through it a couple of times, I would say that if you're looking to track down a copy for listening, don't bother. With all the vocals and speaking parts stripped out, most of the tracks become a little (or in a few cases a lot) annoying before they're finished, and may end up detracting from your enjoyment of the full versions.

As possible material from which to cull brief snippets for commercial use: fabulous, but to listen to straight through: not so much.

well, everyone knows about online shops, and ebay, etc.. so no harm there..
distributing the actual tracks or pointing to those sites, different story..

well, i like listening to instrumental versions sometimes just to hear the
other sounds that get vocals on top of them.

and of course, these are essential for making new mixes/dubs, etc..

but yeah, it's probably not for everyone.. just the collectors, and
fans looking for unique stuff..

hmmm, i am sad that Underworld hasn't released this properly.

[testudo]

Can you believe I am still looking for this... I must be the last Dirt.

[Champiness]

By no means! I'd love a copy of this!

I bought my copy of this at eil.
But it was sold much cheaper (around 30 Dollars if I remember correctly) twice a few weeks ago on ebay... Just keep checking!

[testudo]

any dirt that tell another dirt to shell out $60 US dollars (or $80???) for ONE promo cd, IMHO is NOT a dirt. This really isn't a collectible. Its a small batch of promo CDs that should be released through UWlive... or iTunes even.

I still don't understand why UW has not released this... and there whole back catalog as well in instrumental format... I see a band like Doves do this and I think... ummm why hasn't UW done this.;.. its kinda weird.

it's not weird at all.. it's just a choice.

just curious, but how many people do
you really think are that interested
in instrumentals? besides a small handfull..

how many other instrumental albums have they had before
based on album? NONE

yes, there are some instrumental versions in the
remixes..and some of the songs are mostly
instrumental anyways, so how different do you
think those would be?

again, it's mostly a licensing issue..and
i'm sure if you wanted to use them in commercials,etc.
they would be happy to see that...
