Altern 8 were the schitt!! If you listen to their stuff as Nexus 21, it makes a whole lot of sense

Some interesting points but we are sticking to our plan and if you want to hear about the releases first then the best thing to do is join the mailing list, people on the list will hear everything first. The next release is nearly ready to go and we’ll be shipping the first 12″ soon.

We knew this project would divide people, but everyone has a chance to get one if they are into the music and project.

Then don’t promote future releases at all on several sites / boards as if it was massively available. It’s like saying loud: “hey look we have this great thing coming, but you can’t get it!”. I mean you can’t get it if you happen to not check stuff 24/24.

i commented somewhere else on this, Dust Science do their releases normally with normal vinyl runs, mp3 as well i think…obviously for this project they wanted to do something interesting for themselves and the artists…something different and meaningful, so the name of the label itself is very meaningful to them…and they decided to be more challenging by not releasing digital, by bombing out on the quality of the vinyl and by pressing only 93 copies…it’s a total whim. a very subjective, personal and it seems heartfelt project. it would be very boring it this whole business was treated as a commodity, something you take for granted. sometimes you gotta keep people on their toes…of course you gotta have the goods to do that, the serious goods. this release sounds the proper goods(only heard the samples, my copy, paid for, is on it’s way soon i hope), let’s hope they keep the quality high with the next ones…

Limited edition vinyl ….. Seems one got to really be plugged in to catch these. I personally feel ‘to each his own,’but stressing tunes – that shit ain’t for me anymore. I understand those that do, however. I used to be a SERIOUS collector back in da days. Not a whole lot got by me. And this was way B4 the internet … seems one gotta stay glued to the internet to remain abreast nowadays.

Isn’t the point that Dust are doing what they feel? If you don’t like it, don’t talk about it – do your own thing.

Punk might as well never have happened.

It can be nice to have ltd edition vinyls etc, but its still all a bit pants. put the music out – cool if only vinyl – but limiting it all the time is a bit meh. The dj side of me likes it when i have stuff fuck all others have but at the end of the day it stops being about the music when fuck all people can get it.

“Out of the 93 people who already purchased this, I’m sure more than a few of them have the intention to resell this on Ebay or Discogs the day they get it with an enormous mark up. And now they’ll be somebody out there that REALLY wanted this, didn’t have the chance to get it, and now has to pay a crazy price for it.”

but that is *any* record that isnt repressed continually, no matter what the initial print run is. anyone who wants one and pays any attention to what’s happening in techno music can buy one. ive watched prices skyrocket on records that people didnt pay attention to when they came out.
