heres the story... the record label who took over music for nations have decided they do not want to release the DVD that we spent a long time preparing. so now i am looking into the possiblity of us releasing it soon ourselves, maybe selling it at a reduced price at gigs... this is only a possibilty at the moment...
there will be a statement soon enough.

 

[rafael]

It's not 1st of April yet!

 

[Andy_2003]

unbelievable really, it's not like we need more confirmation of our shite and unfair this world is though, heh

 

[pagan2002]

my attitude is, its only a dvd. imagine if you lived in Iraq or something.

 

[Andy_2003]

true true, there's always something I hear in every day life that make me feel lucky

 

[Bambi]

yeah ffs looks like youll be able to buy it direct for a reduced price, whats the whining about?

 

[Bastet]

yeh, alright, glad i'm not living in iraq. i was really looking forward to that DVD though. FUCK!

 

[Morpheus]

yeah, as long it's goin to be available somehow i don't mind really. Maybe you can get it over to Strangelight Rec.

 

[Bastet]

anyway danny, i'm sorry to hear ... all the effort you put into it...hope you'll figure out something...

 

[zupi_clone]

so who wants copies?? bambi? youve got that o'neils sports bag ready?, we're going down moore street! :hotjump:

 

[pagan2002]

thing is... under the old contract any song from alternative 4 or before, was not allowed on the dvd, so i dont mind doing a spot of editing and getting some of the older songs on there somehow. this is all just ideas at the moment. nothing is decided yet.

 

[Morpheus]

but it's decent ideas

 

[toolsofthetrade]

wouldnt that like crack up the set you have now (i dunno if its a full show)?
i mean, would be great, perhaps instead an addition of acoustic songs u werent allowed to..?

hope u can find a good distributor, without a label, its tough, but there must be at least one favouring you
good luck

 

[pagan2002]

well theres footage from various places and i think the likes of fragile and angelica should be on there too. theres 3 acoustic songs at the moment but 4 were recorded so we'll see what we can do.

 

[Oceana]

fuck music industry... that's the worst news ever :-(... would be nice if you could sell it through the website, but hey, let's hope it's going to be released one day or another

 

[Strangelight]

tough for Anathema to find a distributor? you are kidding right?

 

[Strangelight]

It really weakens me to see how naive people are in this scene

 

[toolsofthetrade]

there should be a few, sure, like i said.
doesnt it cost you more, if yer independent, in the end, than it will leave you with? $?

How can it cost you more if youre receiving all the income directly, bypassing a label who would only give you a fraction of the dealer price? Anathema are an established band and people really want a new dvd from them, which is the whole point of this thread eh.

 

[toolsofthetrade]

ah i see, i thought having a label in between would ease things up for a band (distributing), and will take costs out of yer hands.
but i see what u mean.
