I was actually quite embarrased when I first saw this thread, I thought maybe that Emi might think that i'd put someone up to it. Obviously he's not as cynical as me and didn't
Since then i did a bit of looking about and found out these two chaps had bought 'Headworm' and had been singing it's praises elsewhere.
It's heartening to see that people care enough about Scald to spread the word.
Cheers, we're sending out promos to press now so hopefully word will spread further. Reaction has been overwhelming so far.
i reckon this could be the only way forward because labels don't seem to be getting the jist of it at all. Its an album that requires a bit of listener time + effort and its hard to ask for that when youre sitting in a 6ft pile of demos.
As far as code666 goes, the effort was made and Emi gave it his consideration, he decided against and thats his decision. It was obviously a disapointment as Code666 is one of the few labels I admire but there are certainly no hard feelings and I am eternally grateful for the advice he's given us since.
Michele has been a great friend for a long time before this and continues to be, and also an invaluable asset to the Scald crusade. One of the very few that i trust.
