Man Singles are a waste of money.

So is doing an lp over 10 tracks.

It sucks to do an lp and half and get paid for one lp.

I really want to do a box set instead, maybe with stickers and something else + extra songs that would of been on a single, but is not on the single because there is no single because singles do not sell.

My real reason for doing a single was to be able to release my cover of EVEN NOW by kaspel. I have thought about that, and i think i should release that for free on the internet as a downloadable free track for my fans on the net and just forget about putting it out on a cd all together.

Problem with box sets is metropolis really sucks at doing them and hates doing them and always decides against doing them.

I do not want to release a 15 track lp and charge the price of a regular lp. You should only get 10 songs for the price of an lp in my opinion. Other wise we musicians are getting ripped off on our efforts i feel.

What do you think?

A box would be awesome. It's been a while since I have purchased one because lately bands aside from Haujobb and Wumpscut haven't really done them. Seems that the double lp has been the popular thing (with the mix disc) but I honestly feel that the second disc becomes a waste of time. It's different if the mix disc is released later - doesn't muddle the album right away imho. But a box with extra tracks and some goodies is very appealing to me! +0 I would love to hear your version of "Even Now"! (hopes)

1 remix.

What i am thinking about doing. Is cutting it down to 10 tracks, and just making the next lp half written.

This makes the most sense still.

I don't like doing so much work for so little money, especially now when stuff isnt selling all that great to begin with.

That is what I am doing. You get 11 tracks, 10 and a remix. That is the new lp, the other tracks will go on the next lp after and man those tracks are shaping up to be killer.

Cool. I am excited. Any type of promotion you need I'll be glad to help man. I'd shell out $20 or more for the new album. It's love for the artist and the work that people need to remember. The drones need to wake the hell up. VAC is a coming.

Personally I don't mind paying extra money (like 30) or something for your album instead of the regular 20. But I definitely don't speak for your entire selling audience - from a business standpoint you might take a hit if the price is greater than usual but personally I think that paying for what you get is the best! I think that it's right that you would charge more!

I like the idea best of just putting these extra songs on the next lp, then when i got to finish the next lp half the songs will be written.

YAY..


I cant stop writing music, that is my problem, the virus a has me so inspired to do stuff and man i love what i am doing.

I love this new vac so much tho, man i cant wait to finish it.

Yeah, that would work! Glad to see you stoked on music again and happy dude!

Truth be told, I can't wait for new VAC, whether you release it box set or lp, I'm buying it!

oh f'sho! same!

EVERYONE SHOULD BE EXCITED!!!!!!

You are creating a wonderful scenarios Bryan.

Release your 10+1 LP, and use the rest for the next album. I will buy both.

I fucking love box sets, but tend to be cost prohibitive. If I can get a fucking job by the time your album comes out I will totally want a box set. But if not, all I will be able to afford is the CD.

Sopor Aeternus always releases her music on box sets. I ended up spending over $100 on one, partially because it came from Germany. They can be pretty damn awesome if done right.

I say go for it, who knows what will happen.

Two lps leave open even more anticipation. I am happy with your idea man! I mean Calling ov the Dead and Twisted Thought Generator had mixed versions included and they were regular lps. Smart thinking!

Being a collector myself, I will be buying the lp(s) when they are released. A double lp, similar to what Leæther Strip has been doing, would be awesome as well, and I would be willing to spend the extra money for something like that myself.
