Barfly

Barfly should be re-named "The Evenings Young-Part 2" It reminds me so much of the Yello classic, lonely guy sitting in a bar, drinking etc. I can hear parts of On Track (the train noises) and especially S.A.X. Great tune! G

However, such files is STILL potentially "threatening" to music sales as some people will maybe be put off buying the CD when hearing the files, even with chatter. For other people, the border is elsewhere. For me, I would not pay for 128 kbps MP3s but it isnt normally regarded as "fair use" or in any way OK to post 128 kbps files on the web. I would not normally pay for 192 kbps files either, so now I will post all of Yello's available albums in 192 kbps quality in some websites. Give me a couple of days and it's done, I will let you know the links here and in other groups. I would never pay for 192 kbps MP3s so it's no problem! Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor http://www.PlanetOrigo.com http://twitter.com/planetorigo Sci-fi movies | Electronic music =========================== My response: It's not about what you or I think. It's about what the "masses" think is reasonable. They have shown us with out a doubt that the files that iTunes and Amazon deliver are worth spending their money on. Would they spend money for a song that was incomplete? A song that had parts of it ruined by voice overs? It's pretty safe to say "No they wouldn't". Why would they? I wouldn't and it's clear you wouldn't. You wouldn't even buy complete songs off of iTunes or Amazon. The majority of people nowadays listen to their music on their phones, their ipods, their car stereos, their computers. These are all places where pristine audio quality is not necessary. But it is necessary that the song is complete. ,Jonathan

Is it at 192 kbps compression, 128 kbps, 96 kbps.... or with one audible voice appearance? Or two? Or three? And if there is a border, who decides where it goes? You? Yello? IFPI? The president of the USA? Michael Moore? The clerk working down at Radio Shack? My grandmother? A music pirate? Do you think internet sharing like you did is OKed because the track is "tainted"? > If you can't understand that then we don't need to discuss it any > further. The only thing I dont understand is where the border goes, and why you define where it goes. Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor http://www.PlanetOrigo.com http://twitter.com/planetorigo Sci-fi movies | Electronic music =============================== My response: Glenn that's easy to answer. Just ask yourself "What would you pay for?" Millions of people everyday buy tracks from iTunes and Amazon at less quality then the 8 track sampler was posted at. How many tracks would Amazon and iTunes sell if they came with random chatter talking over the music?....None. , Jonathan

Klort, The track I posted was tainted. It had voice overs from French DJs which ruined several parts of the track. Any one interested in the mix would still have to purchase a quality version. The Touch Yello 8 track promo was high quality untainted full tracks. Big Difference! If you can't understand that then we don't need to discuss it any further. , Jonathan

Beatport supplies some of the parts. You cant make a good car with faulty parts. It wont be approved by the car testing authorities. Oh well. Maybe my 10 years in the music biz and putting on a few remix contests didn learn me a thing, and Jon will revolutionize the remix concept by offering artists "great" MP3 files hereafter :-) Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor ============================== My response: Glenn, There is nothing faulty about using high quality mp3 files for a remix contest. The Soul On Ice Remix Contest proved that. It was a huge success and delivered over 300 remixes. Many of which I still listen to and enjoy today. The following quote was taken directly from the contest rules of one of the Beatport remix contests. "The contest is being judged on originality of remix, not sound quality. You do not need to download the WAV files to enter the remix contest, unless of course you want to. If your remix is chosen as a winner, there will be time to have your tracks mastered to highest quality. " . You also mentioned: "Jon will revolutionize the remix concept by offering artists "great" MP3 files hereafter." I don't run remix contests I leave it to the professionals like Beatport, Yello, Depeche Mode, The Black Eyed Peas, Danny Tanaglia, Paul Van Dyke. These people all have strong reputations. I know them and I'm pretty sure they know a little bit more about the music business then you or I. btw: Steering was put on a car to give it the ability to turn right or left. Even when you are going straight down the road you are actually making tiny right and left steering adjustments to keep the car going straight. Before wheeled vehicles had steering they only went straight. So if your steering wheel turns all the way to the left and all the way to the right there is nothing wrong with the steering. :-) , Jonathan :-)
