Simulacron limited edition interview with Beta Evers... (Page 3 of 3)

Maybe people were afraid of them?

eh.. not darker than robot dystopia tho?

I think K6 started at a time, when some people were already tired of Electro.  I think it was the time when many changed their preference to Electro Disco and Italo Disco.  Today things could be different again, i dunno.

Beta is not releasing records regulary anymore anyway and K6 label is gone forever. For the Venus Noir release she had more luck and Clone distributed about half of the pressing. But that release cannot be fully compared with K6 stuff.

Just to connect to the general discussion...

As some of you know by some years now, my Arizona EP is still in the pipe... a number of unlucky (and really sad) issues crossed my life
in the last 2/3 years, so I had to exclude a certain number of things in my life to carry on - and that record was one of the first to be put on
"indefinite hold".
More or less it is ready; the audio part is at least ready for pressing, while I still have some thoughts about the center label and some technical decisions to be made...

By seeing all these comments, I am trying to think how my situation would be.. I won't have any distributor, all would be done by myself...
I now live in Switzerland, so this means that I'm out of the EEC and possibly every sale would have to be taxed when entering any other
country... and not by my will.
So I even wonder how much I should charge for it.. guess not much more than the cost of it (I am anyways pressing it for its own sake, not
to become rich, for that I have other, non-artistic means ..
And then I wonder: how many should I press? Bear in mind that if I press 300 and I sell them straight away (I obviously doubt it...), then I
wouldn't have any issue in pressing another 300 batch (I am totally against limited editions when there is people who would actually like
to own one).

I am quite confused, possibly now is exactly this confusion on how to handle the post-pressing that is slowing me down...

Any advices?

@alex:

i think your tracks are good enough to be interesting for quite a few people. it's very cool stuff. if you can get clone, flexx, decks, juno, nuloop etc interested to each get a few copies, you're well under way. you can also sell them direct via this forum, or don't underestimate things like myspace for this. or contact blogs, etc. you obviously would have to do some self promotion for this, but it'd be worth it..

uh! ex-DJX is still running my tracks on  IFM? when I met him last summer at the Complexx I had the idea he would only play released stuff, at least on the main channel... well, that's good to hear Which track is that btw?

So, Agence, if I say to you that the record is available for 7 euros plus postage and (on your side) additional VAT,
would you get one?

btw, on a side note, I just read on another part of the forum that Clone is stopping the record label business..

I don't remember the name, I'll try to spot it next time, as the prog is a little bit recurent for the moment on IFM1 (I guess because most of the database hasn't migrated yet), so your track is on heavy rotation...
As a big record freak, I'll get it, but I'd prefer to order it from a shop like clone, as I spent already too much for multiple postage services...

That doesn't matter
