LOATHE SPOTIFY? HERE’S RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT WILL WORK, FOR INDE MUSICIANS!!

    As we’ve all learned, ALBUM STREAMING on sites such as SPOTIFY, was the DOWNFALL for the MUSICIANS, whom received MUCH LESS IN ROYALTIES, ( Which was equivalent to the price of a candy bar, ) than expected, therefore that $2 BILLION DOLLARS, that SPOTIFY had generated, over the past 6 years, was MOSTLY PAID to the RECORD EXECUTIVES, whom POSTED THE MUSIC on this site, WITHOUT THE MUSICIAN’S or SONGWRITER’S CONSENT.   

     Although the MAJOR RECORDING COMPANIES have INVESTED IN & DEPENDED ON SUCH SITES AS iTUNES & PANDORA, it’s still a BACKFIRE, for the MUSICIANS, who would rather receive ROYALTIES from CD SALES.  

     JUST BECAUSE SPOTIFY WAS ENDORSED BY A MAJOR CELEBRITY, IT DOESN’T NECESSARY MEAN THAT ALL MUSICIANS SHOULD USE THIS SERVICE!!!!!!!! 

     FACT:  Many MUSICIANS, who were signed by MAJOR LABELS, had their songs and MP3 albums REMOVED FROM SPOTIFY and OTHER STREAMING SITES, all because they’ve just wanted to MARKET THEIR PHYSICAL CDs, not only to INCREASE SALES & ROYALTIES, but to offer the INCENTIVES that the CONSUMERS will receive EXTRA TRACKS, ADDITIONAL ARTWORK, PHOTOGRAPHS, & LINER NOTES, which listed those individuals, whom WORKED ON THOSE CDs.  

     FACT:  Another reason why for this initiative, is because it’s time that the YOUNGER GENERATIONS should STOP USING STREAMING SITES, and START PURCHASING CDs.  

     

     For INDE MUSICIANS, who want to ACTUALLY DISPLAY, MARKET, & SELL their CDs & MP3s, here’s the RECOMMENDED SITES, which YOU CAN CONTROL, that will BRING RESULTS:

OWN DROPSHARD’S ” SILK ” THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!!

     Following their PROG METAL album, ” ANYWHERE BUT HERE, ” Italian Prog Band, DROPSHARD, have decided to transition from PROG METAL to NEO PROG, with their new release, ” SILK. ”  

     With their MUSICAL INFLUENCES from the Masters of the 70s, GENESIS, YES, JETHRO TULL, KING KRIMSON, LED ZEPPELIN, from the MODERN MUSES, of the present, PAIN OF SALVATION, RIVERSIDE, and PORCUPINE TREE, ( Which sounds more like if STING, had married a SOFT METALLICA, ) this album is SURE TO PLEASE, even the most PRUDENT FANS, of this genre.  

 

     As written on PROG – SPHERE:  

          ” Silk” is a highly ambitious musical project that will definitely become a land mark for the band’s future and although I enjoyed their attempts to navigate towards a heavier sound, I believe that that touch of melancholy, the recurrent motif, is the one to focus on. ”

     As written on CLAIR & OBSCUR:

          ” In short, no need to elaborate further, here’s a group that really knows the vocabulary and grammar of progressive rock, but do not just sit on its laurels.Instead, they transcend them by giving us a music turns pensive and colorful, with a song of great beauty and catchy tunes which extol. “
