It's not the price so much as the fact that there's not much music on the record - Mahigani releases are priced the same as normal US imports here but spending £8 on one short, average track isn't something all of us are happy to do unless the track is really amazing... > the first mahogani was already going for mad loot. the andres one > is pretty impossible to find already, i wouldnt be suprised to see > that one going up like mad sometime soon. Well, they're both in stock and available to buy at Rush Hour, for example - none of the stuff seems too hard to track down yet... > well i cant disagree with you more on the AM. thats gotta be one > of the hottest house tracks of the past few years... Fair enough - I thought it was stunningly average - but each to their own... > ...the kai alce isnt the greatest record ive ever heard, but i like it and it > got people moving when i played it out. i dont mind paying extra for stuff > that i like, and im a picky guy when it comes to house music. if anyone has my > confidence, its kdj. pretty much everything the guy chooses to put out by > other people is good. Here's a hypotherical question - would you have bought the Kai Alce record if it had been released on a label other than Mahogani? What if it was an import from Europe on a label you'd never heard of, with no association to KDJ whatsoever? I'm just curious as to what extent the fact that it has KDJ's blessing would influence your decision to buy a record. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big KDJ fan too - I'm just not prepared to buy records which sound average just because they're on his label. If you genuinely like the record and would have bought it regardless then fine, I'm not challenging you - just curious... Tom
