Quote (Ratty @ Sep. 09 2007, 18:16) | Help!!! i seem to be missing out. I have heard the clips which were put onto Tubular.Net but some of you seem to have listened to the full album. Where can i get to hear it? |
I understand that people want to hear the album as soon as they can. I can also understand the arguments which say that leaks like this can sometimes serve as good promotion for the album. I also realise that now it's out there, it's going to spread all over the place and there's really nothing anyone can do to stop that.
However, we are also attempting to keep the record company on our side, as our partnership with them up until now has, I feel, proved fruitful all round. We have discussed some potentially exciting ideas for the future, but they really are nothing more than ideas right now - very fragile things which could amount to nothing if people aren't in the right mood. I think it would be a great shame if that were to happen.
So please tread carefully here. Exchanging details on how to download the album for nothing two months before its release really isn't the kind of promotion they wanted us to help with! Of course it's a rather difficult situation, as the enthusiastic discussion is definitely a good thing, but as soon as someone mentions something which isn't on one of the official samples, someone else is naturally going to ask "Well where can I hear that one?" We're of course going to have to do a bit of negotiating with Universal to find out what's going to keep them happy, but of course we want to make sure that we have something to keep the smiles on all of your faces too. For the moment, I'll say keep the discussion going, but please don't give details on where to download the album or offer to send it to anyone. I hope you'll understand, and I hope there will be interesting things to come in the future!
