hint
party record with a siren
was surprised to find this out this morning. well - not surprised that it's been picked up, cos it's clearly a strong track with crossover potential, but it seems like it's been around for a very long time and readily available.
do you think it's a good thing that these tracks float around on the underground circuit for months before being released by a mainstream label? I wonder if perhaps it's detrimental, cos the buzz may well have come and gone by the time it hits the shelves.
or do you think the purists / underground heads would generally turn their noses up at a track if it were released straight away on a major without being built up on a white label / indie level first? perhaps this is the best method to ensure that the scene stays healthy on all levels - the pirates and raves get stuff upfront and stay fresh, then the majors step in and the artists get a chance to push the big tracks to a wider audience later on.
would be nice to think that the majors are looking to develop these artists into internationally successful album acts, rather than just cherry-picking the big "anthems" for one-off single deals.
