You're numbers are too high.
and in reality.. i think it should only count for albums sold.
downloading it too easy. and free.. doesn't mean for anything. someone might download and never listen.
Albums sold.. is what should count.
That being said..
Unicorn Dream Attack. close to 1000 or 1300 records sold. I can't remember how many we got, 1000 or 1300.. but we're almost out.
Time for repressing in Limited Edition vinyl. WooT!
Low-Gain : 60-100 records sold. i really dont keep track of my own record sales. I should, but reality is... i have to dress mine up in fancy packaging to get people to buy them. so what ever. it's just shit late 90's electronic influenced dance music anyways.
Frankly, my opinion of the chip scene for selling records has really taken a 180.. I think there is too much shit being released into the world.
not enough time being put into a record let alone 1 song. people are in too much of a hurry to get as many plays as they can on community websites.
its' all bullshit to me. what's the point? And most of the time we're just selling music to fellow musicians.. never the masses that have no clue what 8bc or cm.org are... I want something more then just niche community... people should be striving for more. striving to push themselves to something bigger, go beyond making a great 4 channel gameboy song.. let go of the BS limitations and do something more with it. it's about the music, not the hardware/software.
So the market is saturated in shit IMHO, and when something really good comes down the pipe, it gets overlooked and only time will tell if it will get recognized for what it should be.
But free downloads should never be considered in something like this.
And most people are too cheap these days to buy chip music. they just assume it should be free.. to which i say, "fuck that"
You pay for quality, and effort. both artist (investing in doing their record right) and consumer (buying a cd/record).
