mislav -- the next convextion release (dLvext2) is a 12" as E.R.P. (his electro/techno aka, last seen on sean d's original matrix label) and should be out late september/early october. we're also hoping to release the convextion album before the end of the year. if you go to the (really out of date) dL website, there are some previews if you go to the audio page and click the little logo that says "upcoming", and also an e.r.p. loop playing on the contact page. site should be updated soon, sorry...
dave -- that's true about the thread on LD, tristan was nice enough to point it out to us. we don't mind when our stuff ends up on p2p after it's been released, but in this case, someone actually hacked our server (our own fault for leaving an easy backdoor) and stole the files and put them on p2p. it was 3 cd's worth of music, most of which will not even be on the album/released -- but gerard did not want it made public in any case. no biggie tho. i doubt many people even got ahold of it. re mp3 consumption, i completely agree with ani. i download mp3's and i make buying decisions based on what i download. i still end up blowing all my spare change on records whenever i can. it's also usually hard to find mp3's of new records until months after they are released (if at all), unless it is something more popular. so unless you're really patient, it's still easier to just buy the record if it's something you really want. album rips are easier to find, but many labels have done a smart thing and release their own albums onto p2p, in either low quality, or special edits, or with annoying voice-over promo in every song. they beat mp3 groupz to the punch and before you know it the p2p-tailored versions propagate like mad and are all you can find -- this was the case with kerrier district, amp fiddler, and lots of hiphop i check out in mp3. good strategy i think, and we might do it with the connection machine and convextion albums in a bit. also btw there have been several reports out this year, i think one australian, one from harvard, and one from unc, that cast serious doubt on the assumption that mp3's hurt cd sales. i'm not really sure how that translates to dj music (vinyl), but somehow i don't think ableton etc has made vinyl any more obselete...buyers are still out there, it's just a tougher competition for their wallets/pocketbooks blah blah! jt -----Original Message----- From: David Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Aug 10, 2004 6:56 AM To: 313 <[email protected]> Subject: Re: (313) convextion I dont think Mislav was asking to download it Martin (I could be worng). He is correct in that it was floating about on P2P a while ago (Check the LD archives ;-)) then either JT or Minto came onto the thread and asked if the sharing could be stopped and it was. (No I dont have it before anyone asks) I think it was just a simple request about release date info which is not an unusual post at all.
