aka screw the promotional campaign strategy. Let me explain everything first.
Okay myself, the record company, and well... the guest musicians are not exactly happy but its not really a bad thing.
heres
the deal. Amazon gets Limited Edition copy released March 1st 09,
Hardcovered Novel twenty+ full colored pages with the CD inside and a
poster, Itunes gets digital release on this same day. 9 days later the
physical CD is released worldwide.
Itunes decided to release the
album THIS MORNING. and spelt Pins//Needles Pins//Meedles. After having
the record company contact them the email back is "Any band that
transfers the digital rights to us for a "pre-release" and not an
"exact match" of a street date release we have the right to move it to
where we see most profitable for us and for the label, and the
musicians involved. Due to the recent surge of news articles we feel
Galexia's best sales will not be in march due to big named band albums
coming out, but squeezed right before the holiday season where people
are willing to over spend and people receive Itunes Gift Cards. We
ensure you this will work out in All three parties favors in terms of
profit."
So basically Thank you amazon for releasing my album
realy, what really can I do except ask you guys to go buy it and post
opinions here. They even have it posted for just under 8 dollars for
the entire album (because it is not over ten tracks they can charge 99
cents for 10 minute long songs etc)
Merry Christmas I think? Help support and buy, but I'm perplexed.. enjoy though!
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=299571918&s=143441 - Galexia - Galexia : Itunes release, street date broken.
Buy
it, tell your friends to buy it, leak it for all I care - just if you
dig Ayreon, Threshold, Farmakon, Images of Eden, want to hear there
voices to the sound scapes I created, then please do support.
I
wish it all worked out as planned. Tour is still in check, retail
release is in check, limited edition amazon is in check... but for the
holidays Itunes is not in check, but I suppose it helps fund stuff for
me down the road as I am in debt already from everything, switching
labels, taking too much time to produce the first cd, working on the
second CD, etc
so we'll make this the official "WTF ITUNES"
along with the official "Review, Opinions and Discussion of the Galexia
Debut" thread.
Pins//meedles my arse... please change the tag to Pins//Needles.
- Kenneth, Galexia.
