While we were releasing 5 albums in 2009, many other artists didn't stop producing. Fortunately you could still enjoy their music thanks to other Goatrance labels. But they also knew we were planing the killer compilation. There was no battle plan, no strategy, but it was silently coming... ...oh, enough with warfare vocabulary!!! Lovely music, that's what our first release this year will be made of. No, not the typical utopian ostentation. We mean real music, emotions, warming your heart, bringing sunshine into your room and colors to these difficult times! SUNCD18 is a landmark we've been waiting for and I must say the artists selected so far have even overcome our expectations. No, it's not completely ready and we're still hesitating between a couple of names, but that's a matter of days now. Keep in touch, we'll announce more on this very blog very soon!!! Something else: unless you lived under a rock, you must have heard the music industry has never been in such a difficult situation. French readers may read a few articles just released in the past weeks: Record labels, what's going to happen now? The downfall of the music indsutry in the last 10 years. What's the disc's future at the moment the 2010 Midem starts? There's even a book about this: "Long live the disc crysis!" How about Suntrip? Well, we see great results with our first 100% digital release, which tends to confirm both the trend and your confidence in our artists' music. But we also know our audience are passionate people that value music and consider it as a piece of art, not just a stream of bytes. So we'll continue releasing CDs as long as possible. See you soon :) |
