Gonjasufi - A Sufi & A Killer

oh. maybe they should remove the button. album sounds good, tho. too bad there's no download. i like cds, but i'm impatient AND lazy!

[beats me]

Now as far as physical products/downloads are concerned, a lot of people want vinyl and cd copies of the music they pay for. I think the real way forward here is what Bleep are doing with Oversteps by Autechre - buy a cd or vinyl copy and you get a download included in the price.

The physical copy plus instant download is a good idea but there's also a lot of people who aren't interested in getting a hard copy that eventually just ends up contributing to the world's landfills. How about a discount offer for no physical copy? Go green.

I think you're wrong about "a lot of people". You're talking about 0.05% of the population that is either a musician, DJ, sound quality purist, or technologically challenged. Most people just want it straight to their computer instantly and then on to their mp3 player.

All I'm saying is you are ignoring a huge segment of your possible listeners. There's a ton of competition and people are going to go for whatever is the easiest to get a hold of unless completely blown away by something, and that's rare.

Hey, i'm as impatient and lazy as the next guy but i'll always go for cd over a download. And yes the button should be removed..i'll change my link too..

Yes. Very sad but true. People want everything NOW these days and seem to get stressed if they can't get it immediately.
Personally i like going to a shop and buying a cd or ordering it online and waiting for the post.. it just seems a little more special, to me at least.

me too, really. vinyl is even more fun. fact is i'm pretty broke this week and free seemed affordable thanks for the link anyways!

I have my own idiosyncrasies with the new world order.

I have netflix and they are moving a lot of their movies to their stream instantly format, but if I have an option between the 2 I'll have the movie mailed to me. And I can watch the movies on my TV, so it's not a matter of having to watch it on my computer monitor.

Also there's a Guitar Center within walking distance of my apartment but I always buy my music stuff online. It's not because of the ignorance of their staff, but because I don't want to pay tax and I'd rather have it delivered to my door days later then go to the store.

So anyway, the album... I really think he should've cut it down to 12 tracks or so. I got bored by the end on my first listen. It might grow on me though. Generally I quite like the production though. Reminds me a lot of a lot of what's on the Anticon label. edit -- I see he's from San Francisco. Wonder why he /isn't/ on Anticon then...

Also, I can't make out what the fuck he's saying most of the time. Cool voice, but isn't being a vocalist also about words (sometimes)?

[macmurphy]

Well, i certainly didn't find it got boring..i never knew what was coming next. I think the production is great - it sounds really...dusty..

I generally don't have an issue with singers who i can't understand, as long as there's emotion in what they are singing and there's emotion here in spades.
Although a lyric book would have been nice!

I liked it a lot more listening to it again, I must say.

You do know that you can buy the video out to rca adapter for 20 bucks at your local apple store right? Ive watched a couple movies at a friends house and the quality was very good.

edit -- I see he's from San Francisco. Wonder why he /isn't/ on Anticon then

From Bleep: "Featuring production from the heart of the Brainfeeder, Gaslamp Killer and Flying Lotus." That's pretty much why he isn't on Anticon. That, and he'd have to be stupid to pick release on Anticon over a release on the Warp label - getting FlyLo to pull strings to get him released on Warp gets him pretty much instant international status. Not to say that Anticon isn't the shit, 'cause it is, but they just don't have clout like Warp, even in America. Of course, Anticon has a different business model, which works for them just fine, it seems.
