Here's why I like netlabels:

The little blurb can really motivate young artists to hit it out of the ball-park. It's worked on me! It's also nice to know that there are some positives your music.

why I hate netlabels:
They are all "butterflies and candy! OH MY GOD THIS IS DELICIOUS!"

I especially hate i when the songs themselves suck!!!

alright, whoever had the bright idea to sign me up for some POS dating sight. Very funny, you almost make me want to give out your IP.

I'm not pitting them against Beethoven (yet, but now I have an excellent idea about pitting chiptuners are up to the challenge to have a "battle" with a famous composer, IE. me comparing the two styles and declaring a winner tongue)

Thanks, I found it really hard to not come off snobby, the line is thin.

Remember, the composers are just reference for technique. I would never dare compare people to a composer unless I saw intense similarity.

thanks big_smile (EPs count as albums), though you'll probably want your most recent work.

Also, expect criticism, I'm tired of seeing "happy sunshine" blogs (I know those are needed to promote artists, but I view myself as more of a rater of an unbiased rater of works)

I'm not too high on the pedigree scale, I've had just two premiers, and am about to have an already played piece done with a college orchestra, and another played by a college chamber group.

HAHAH YESS


8bc is down for me, is it down for anyone else?

Also, I want my 1st Album

Meetings Along Night's Edge

Best album I've done (in my opinion)

albums that I loved this year:

Shhh, Architecture

J.Arthur Keenes Band

Frostbyte - Derpmas (it really is the most hilariously awesome thing ever)

Anova - Teaching machine

I know it's not really chiptune, or did it come out this year but:

Martha Argerich's Recording of Prokofiev's 3rd Piano concerto and Ravel's Concerto in G

dat album cover big_smile

Also, please care to take a listen to the Christmas Oratio. It took forever to arrange.
