A long post that I won't quote...
The whole
My post is not intended to flame him, I'm just saying that he took the risk of being flamed by making it. It's somewhat of a pointless thread because you just need to start out making 100-200 CD's and see how it works out. If you need more, make more. If people didn't buy them all, wait until they do.
I used to be bothered by his popularity and mass downloads, but not anymore. Over time I began to realise that he captures more of the NG techno community than I do. I understand that now and I don't hold a grudge anymore. I would say that his song that is basically a compilation of others work bothers me, but he did that and it's up to the general NG AP public to decide whether it should be removed or not.
I am but one person who shared their feelings on the subject, I don't represent everyone. That's what I believe is the major downfall of this site. The community does not respect others opinions if they dont agree with it. They simply flame that person and spread their beliefs to be flamed by the next.
I don't like Dimrain, but I don't dislike him. My feelings about him now are simply neutral. He has fans, as well as enemies. Just let him be. Making this topic was not a very wise decision, but what's done is done and we should let this thread die out. If we don't, it will just cause more controversy and hatred between artists.
I will buy Dimrain's CD and I will purchase it for two reasons:
1.) I support all of NG's respectable and he has made a name for himself, whether it be negative or positive to people's beliefs.
2.) I have much respect for Dimrain venturing out to a new playing field and I want to show him my respect.
As for my comment's about his music, it is how I feel about it. He has great compositional abilities, yet needs refining on his tracks. I'm only saying constructive critisism so that he can choose to follow or ignore it. I in no way mean to flame him in this topic.
As for my comment about his CD release vs mine, I'm just saying it's a possibility. He captivated a lot of people here, but a lot of them are younger than the general public outside of NG that listens to Techno / Trance / Etc... I wish him the best of luck though.
So please don't get me wrong, I'm not posting to cause trouble, but merely extinguish the flames on this subject, even if it's at my own expense.
And one other thing, I know it's kind of stupid to say, but my name is "Saint Isaiah" - I just cant make my username like that so just for future reference, If you could refer to me as that, it would be really appreciated.
