Do You Think Being Signed To A Record Label Is Good These Days

A few of us are on Disintegration State and we’re all billionaires now:

Seriously though… even though it is an independent label it has had a big impact on getting my music (and a lot of other people’s) heard in the wider UK underground community. I don’t think I would still be making music if I didn’t have some sort of formal outlet for it and the support offered by having even a small community of like-minded folk can be invaluable.

He’s done it. Just check the classifieds board. Although the two YouTubes were deleted so maybe the SC is too

Pretty much this for me. At the very least, the sense of purpose to it has made me think more ambitiously about what an album should be as a continous thing rather than my musical output being just more or less random choons cobbled together in my spare time

And i was just happy to be on the Dis State train in advance of the inevitable Warner Bros buyout and subsequent moolah-quake

I’m just glad all that talk of a breakaway Ambient Super Label has died down now.

These days, if you sign to a record label, you’ll be arrested and thrown in jail.

There’s only one thing worse than being on a record label - not being on one

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled…

…was being signed to a record label.

A bird in the hand is worth two signed to a record label

Don’t let the record label take you out to lunch

Let them take you out for dinner instead

Bit of a necessary evil for anyone who isn’t already well known to get their product out there I think.

The same is true of the publishing industry. I’m working on a children’s book right now and, yeah I could self-publish it and sell to under a hundred friends and local people, but I’m acutely aware the accepted route is to sign with an agent and they get you a deal with a publisher.

It’s not right, but it’s okay.

Sign me to a record label once - shame on… shame on you. Sign me - you can’t get signed again.
