Shooting the breeze (new threads)

New Rephlex website

Dunno how long it's been like this, but gone is the unhelpful, slightly pretentious website containing no contact details or release information, and in comes a brand new site with MP3 downloads, full-length previews (although not all the releases are online yet) and ways of actually contacting Grant. They've finally got the idea of this internet lark, and I respect them far more for it. Kudos G+R.

merry everything and a happy whatever

only 2 years till the end of the world! make the most of them.

forums back to 'normal'

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:24:49 +0000

u may have noticed that i fucked up the forums earlier - by trying to delete a thread instead of moving it. silly me.
thankfully, matt was around to fix it.
i'll never click edit at the bottom of the pages ever again.

to answer lee's question - we can still edit posts, using the blue links, my mistake was using a green one.

Too Much Joy

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:54:23 +0000

For another interesting view on the mainstream music industry, I'd recommend reading this blog post here

A word here about that unrecouped balance, for those uninitiated in the complex mechanics of major label accounting. While our royalty statement shows Too Much Joy in the red with Warner Bros. (now by only $395,214.71 after that $62.47 digital windfall), this doesn’t mean Warner “lost” nearly $400,000 on the band. That’s how much they spent on us, and we don’t see any royalty checks until it’s paid back, but it doesn’t get paid back out of the full price of every album sold. It gets paid back out of the band’s share of every album sold, which is roughly 10% of the retail price. So, using round numbers to make the math as easy as possible to understand, let’s say Warner Bros. spent something like $450,000 total on TMJ. If Warner sold 15,000 copies of each of the three TMJ records they released at a wholesale price of $10 each, they would have earned back the $450,000. But if those records were retailing for $15, TMJ would have only paid back $67,500, and our statement would show an unrecouped balance of $382,500.

i' ve been playing a lovely pc game recently called 'defcon' - its about global nuclear war and takes place on a map a bit like the one in the 1980's film 'wargames'.
the music on the game is really great - sinister, ambient and brooding. so i tore the game files open, ripped out the music and converted it to 320 MP3.
download it from the following, i really do recommend if you like dark, ambient type stuff.

In case you don't follow Leyland Kirby's "History Always Favours the Winners" blog (why on earth not?), he has supplied the latest installment in Helen & Justin's remix project - which also features DV alumni Cats Against the Bomb.

how would you build a live set-up in plogue bidule?

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:56:22 +0000

well
i have been toying with the idea of building myself a "live set-up"using plogue bidule and renoise,it should be used for my "breakcore/junglecore/drillcore"music

any1 tried building something for that purpose in plogue

the reason i want to use plogue over something like Pd,is that i really like to have the "nicer"interface,it helps me give a better overview

help me out Hardoff:)

Phil Spector

This week Phil Spector was sentenced to 19-years-to-life in prison for murder.

Can it now truly be said that he is/was America's answer to Joe Meek?

digg this

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:15:01 +0000

i'm probably 3 years too late on this one, but has anyone considered "digging" DV? i figure if every person that visits this site were to digg it within a short timespan (like 24 hours) it might show up on one of the "recently dugg" pages.

i dunno…but it could spark some more activity around here (although a few projects seem to be taking off lately….what's the news on that colours project? and when are tracks due?)/

anyways, i started the ball rolling:
