CR's...new details

Dear Music Friends, Login and password details are spreading rapidly lately, i.e. outside the group of fsol and orb listees. Some twat even posted the login details on the MBM mailing list! I therefore changed lg and pw details again. Initially this site was created for us Orbers and Fsollers, so don't just pass it on to others... Anyway, the necessary info is: IP: 137.224.147.123 lg/pw [download]: orb / basic lg/pw [upload]: orb / channel So make us happy with your best ambientdubtechno and similar stuff, as long as it's 'out-of-print' (which, globally, is a very flexible definition) or hard-to-come-by (probably an even more subjective term!). Thank God we love the obscure! But, please, no regular Orb or Fsol/AA releases... ;-> Take care; stay happy, healthy and friendly, Steph...

record distribution RE: [Orb] mp3's are great / erection cream / me contributin

You need a kid that will work on commission. 10% of sales and a buttload of footwork. Sell the cds on consignment (which means you get paid when the record store gets paid and if they don't sell them you take them back) at first. You've got to involve someone who will work their ass off and smile and smile and smile. Otherwise you'll get stiffed, cds will vanish, and the record stores will hate your label. If you do mail order, though, just be sure to only do one release at a time. As your catalogue increases you should be able to increase the size of your "shipping department" so they won't screw up the process. I worked in the music retail biz for many many years and I've got a pretty good understanding of how to make it work properly.* I wish I lived over there or I'd be knocking on your studio door, munching on a chicken leg, ready to make it work. Feel free to e-mail me for long-winded advice at any time. I bet I could've made Badorb turn a profit and run smoothly but they didn't ask me to. :) Alan Evil *Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get money for my own music but that's a whole different story. Possibly it's because I suck... Institute for Psychic Reform Change your Mind www.psychicreform.com

I probably wouldn't buy songs in this format. There are several different computers at work/home that I listen to music from, and I would find this too restrictive. A few years ago, I paid for some songs in Liquid Audio format (? not sure if that's the right name). They would only play on the computer I downloaded them to. I lost access to them when I upgraded my operating system... Not trying to be a naysayer or anything... But flexibility is key for me... -----Original Message----- From: themode2k [mailto:themode2k@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Fri 11/1/2002 9:35 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Cc: Subject: Re: [Orb] Copyleft >if it allows people to burn the image to cd then its an good idea - since >HD-space often become a problem for me. the image stays on the HD and is the same size as a cd (max 82min) can be burnt back 2 CD but still only played on the DL comp...
