Re: Our Own Anthology
Found this recently on Amazon.com. Gives a nice overview of the various Underworld rarities and B sides, and why they should go on a 2nd Anthology...
A bit too long to paste here, but worth a read... So you'd like to... discover the ideal Underworld compilation? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/2411XNEHKTOZQ/ref=cm_bg_dp_m_2/002-7298486-7417663 |

Re: Our Own Anthology
well, now that things are settling down for me..
yes, i did come across the discs that matt sent me........ now, i just have to dig up all those other tracks, (vinyl/cd/etc)... i'm hoping this could be the year to finally make all these projects work out.. not to sound too envious, but i really wonder how people make it into the music industry to work on these projects..i know if i ever got offered a job doing these kind of things, i would seriously consider it.. anyways....thanks for keeping the thoughts alive.. now to make it a reality.. later -1 |

i'm sure there's a lot more legal and political issues that are involved... when you do a freelance or fan job, you don't have to worry about royalties or other things that 'legal' compilations have.. on the other hand, there have several really good boxsets that have come out that i consider very well done, the cure rarities, big country boxsets, bjork boxsets, echo and the bunnymen boxsets, duran duran, and depeche mode, and many other ones....so it can be done...its mostly about commercial viability.. i remember when the uw anthology came out, and i think (was it?) steve hall, or someone else from jbo posted some messages here.. and said basically the same thing, that they really couldn't have these 'ultimate' compilations because it wasn't financially viable.. i think other countries (ie japan, and certain asian ones) get special tracks/extras because the market over there is very different to the one in the US/UK.....i don't think thats going to change anytime soon either.. the one outlet that seems to be gaining momentum (fortunately/unfortunately) is the digital download area (ie itunes etc)...and mabye even via underworlds own website.....however there is some dissatisfaction with either the quality of the encodings or the lack of a hard copy of the art, and the physical medium of the cd.....if they were to offer old/rare tracks for US$0.99 they could probably find an audience.....i know i've just started to download some tracks that are unfortunately digital only (abc / new order / bt)...but its either that or not get them at all, or pay for an extremely over-priced promo cd on ebay.... not to many choices out there that will make everyone happy yet.. i wonder, matt, how you feel about the rise of digital only tracks, and how this impacts collecting? (or maybe that topics been done to death in some other thread..) later -1 |

i paid a heavy sum for a 2 track promo of JAL to Tokyo, which was extremely limited (to 25 copies), which, in reality, must have cost about £0.10p to make, and the guy selling it didn't pay for it either, so if this is the way collecting's going to be because of digital music its going to become harder and 'unfair' and i'm not going to like it... i'm still holding out for the commercial releases of the latest UW music via record and cd, which have been mooted, but as digital takes off, even more so this year, labels and artists won't need to send out promo's or even release stuff in 'hard form' any more...this is kinda a long topic for another thread really... i find it a bit rough when they do release 'download only' tunes, such as the Pete Heller remixes of Jetstream, and then find out that they are to be either released commercially outside of the country hosting the download site, or as incentive tracks on promo's given to dj's....the whole point of excluisve downloads should be that thats the only place you are going to get it...how hard is it for a dj to copy it to a cdr and play it from that...??? mmm...i'll be back later to finish this post off

i wanted to move this discussion
to another thread..but i'm not sure where it should go... if you want to start another one, please do.. i just wanted to note that, i think there will always be promos, either vinyl or cd-r made, just because i dont know what percentage of djs in clubs use laptops/mp3 files only.. in fact if anything, i think i've seen a resurgence in vinyl releases, judging from all the vinyl on releases and limited editions.. some examples of mixed releases: new order - waiting for the sirens call 3x7" exclusive, although many of the mixes are on promo cds new order - guilt is a useless emotion (download only in the US)..although there are cd promos with all the mixes depeche mode - almost all of their singles off the last album have several promo vinyl and cds also abc - re-released all their old 'neutron' label albums with extra tracks, and also as downloads...one album, 'abracadabra' is digital only, and has several digital only extras also... i'm sure there a lot more current groups that have done this also, i've only tried to keep with the older groups that i used to listen to.. i think that labels are still experimenting with the formats and trying to see which methods are easiest to use, and profitable. and yes, it does create quite a headache for fans and collectors.. later -1 |

Re: Our Own Anthology
oh, and one more thing, another obvious issue,
that is certainly not the fault of the labels.. many releases are geared towards certain markets, so the release dates will be different for different countries.... so if new mixes of a song are commissioned for a different country, of course when it first came out, those people lose out on getting it... i think thats always been the case.. (remember the 'king of snake' promos that came out before 'beacoup fish' was released).. and then later when it was re-released, there were many more mixes ...and even the italian only ones.. later -1 |
