Kata- Fanbase? =O!

You're right. I guess I should step down and give you your 'should' rights back. After all, I should realize I've overstepped my boundaries on the 'should' matter. Should this 'should' episode happen again, you should please tell me with all speed. I should reconsider my tasks as forum asshole, and should I breach anything else, it would be great, should you tell me so, so I may adjust my ways. I should end this post now.

interesting suggestions in this thread. i think katatonia is perfect the way they are. i think their music is a little too honest and intimate (for lack of a better word) to add orchestration to. the most i could see adding, without it getting too grandiose and pretentious, is a subtle string quartest in the background.

Really, they don't need an orchestra. Not unless they wanted to go in a whole new direction, which is a decision that I would respect as a musician. But adding orchestrations, especially synth type stuff just isn't needed in their current style. I don't think it would increase their fanbase, and it would make them sound more generic.

Having said that, I loved Future of Speech, but I don't think every Katatonia song needs to go that direction.

Katatonia need to keep doing excatly what they are doing. I like them because of how they sound, if they change and start doing other crap it just won't be Katatonia.

Who cares about commercial and not being commercial..
the fact of the matter is, is that I dont think they're "rolling in dough" , what ever could help there career (without selling themselves out) would be in their best interest..

I heard Opeth in Best Buy in the states - are they commercial now ?
no sarcasm intended.

I've seen Orchid in a couple Best Buy stores, beside Damnation, BWP, Deliverance. I was pretty surprised.
