What, in some of your > opinions, is the best way to go about encouraging the Powers That Be at Ambient > World to re-release certain titles? For starters: Internet demand isn't enough - "2350 Broadway 1" was re-released after an internet poll, and apparently the actual demand in the 'real world' did not correlate to that of the Internet community. I doubt that Herr Kuhlmann is keen to repeat that experience again... EAR/Rational is lobbying for a re-release "Ambiant Otaku", but the punters have to put their money down first in order to guarantee that not too many copies collect dust in the warehouse. How is that re-release campaign going, by the way? Another point to consider is that perhaps some releases are in demand mainly because they are (seemingly) unattainable, rather than for any inherent musical 'value'. If such a release was repressed, would the demand still be as strong? As for which titles *are* being repressed by Ambient World, I'd imagine that the "Powers That Be" recognize a market opportunity that exists beyond the limited fan base of hard core FAX-heads, such as Schulze fans (the DSOTM represses) and other niche markets (ie "Sultan"). Another point (if I am correct) is that the rights to the FAX titles revert back to the original artists after 5 years, and the artists themselves may wish to have their titles repressed on a different label? So perhaps if you want "Ambiant Otaku", you should contact Tetsu Inoue (since "Otaku" was released about 5 years ago)... :-) Of course, I may be wrong about all the above.. :-) Cheers, Geoff - --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 22:13:47 EDT From: Slipped@aol.com Subject: Re: (fax) How should we encourage re-releases?

If such a release was repressed, would the >demand still be as strong? Geoff has hit it spot on here... Basically the discs that people think are extremely valuable like Shades 1 & Ambiant Otaku aren't all that Commercially popular and therefore make no sense to reissue. I'd say there is no chance of Escape being reissued.. Im sure Ambiant Otaku will find its way onto Ambient world... Hopefully Shades of Orion aswell.. Sultan was reissued so quickly simply because it sold out so quickly as will Sultan Osman.... Ciao!

Well, I think there probably is, but it will come from outside of the FAX community. The problem I have these days is getting beyond the idea that interest in FAX lies outside of a community of us bods dicussing it by email. Apart from Sister Ray almost nobody continues to stock FAX having been put off by titles which didnt sell and a proliferation of discs in too short a time. The current situation is probably governed as much by demand as quality control but it is hard to know. How much is a FAX disc worth? As much as somebody wants to pay and it is usually unrelated to quality - it often beats me why Otaku gets so much attention even if it is a good disc.

Why can't Fax distributors do something like the steak or beer of the month club, where you send in money in advance for a subscrip to the next 10 or 15 Fax titles at a discounted rate? Maybe there could be an option that allowed a bit of picking and choosing rather than just blindly getting all the next "X" Fax discs. Darla was doing this with their ambient series. Maybe they still are. It seems like something that could be a good idea. Fax would get some operational funds upfront, the Fax listener can sit back and wait for the new music to arrive by mail with no hassles trying to find the new stuff.

I think I shipped before I received payment even though you had never ordered before because I know you are trustworthy. And we are slow (but I'm hoping to hire someone else to fix that). By the way, I've heard you are swell too, and I believe it. A little jabbing back and forth about prices is fair game, methinks. >>I once sold a mint copy of 2350 Broadway for $300. It was an auction, but >>someone obviously wanted it bad enough. > > did you donate the money to charity? No. (Do you donate the Muslimgauze money to charity?) I seem to recall being in business to make a profit. I paid $250 for the copy in question, so I don't think 20% is an unfair profit margin. But that aside, I think you and I (and even some folks who are not in it for a profit) see nothing wrong with good old supply and demand. If you just want to hear the music, buy the reissue for $20. If you have to have the original, then you're going to have to pay whatever the market will bear. Profit is not a bad word, and auctioning to the highest bidder is not evil. If there are enough of something to go around, it's a moot point. If supply is limited, and you really want something, you might have to pay a lot for it. I've abandoned the search for many an item, not just CDs, because the price was more than I wanted to pay. I know we're way off topic here, but let me relate one last story. I once had a stack of The K Foundation's "K Cera Cera", which was released only in Palestine and Israel in limited quantities. Instead of asking $75+ for them, which many dealers were (some got as much as $125), I devised a scavenger hunt, whereby if people collected certain items and sent me $35, they could get one of the discs. And you know what? People complained. Some said I should give the CDs away for free if they produced all of the items on the scavenger list, some said I should just offer to the highest bidder and forget the scavenger hunt, and one fellow told me to fuck off because, as he put it, I was abusing my power. I still keep all that email in a folder as a reminder of how unreasonable people can be when they want something. >>I have a near-mint Shades of Orion that I'll sell for $100. How's that? > > want to trade for a sealed AMBIANT OTAKU? It's tempting. Let me see if I get any responses first. Sorry for this mostly non-Fax email. David and I (Dave, usually--only my folks call me David) both sell CDs and I believe there's enough demand out there to support us both in our efforts. In fact, I have sent several customers to him for Fax CDs that I could no longer get. Yes, I thought his Muslimgauze prices were high, but he could say the same about some of my Fax collectible prices. I wasn't trying to start an argument. I will end on a Fax note: If I could have only 1 Fax CD it would undoubtedly be Sultan. I know that's lunacy for some of you, but it's my favourite and there you go. - --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 20:41:17 +0100 From: Ben Jefferys Subject: Re: (fax) Just pick one.... tonelab@megsinet.net wrote: > $125 for sad world 1 original Bugger me!

If you just want to hear the music, > buy the reissue for $20. This is what kind of bugs me because I just want to hear the music and I don't really care about all the collectability of it. I suppose that's one thing that bugs me about FAX in general but I understand Pete's issuing CDs in limited quantities. I WOULD buy the re-issue of Otaku and Shades 1 if they existed. I'm not picky, I have the Broadway 1 reissue. But they haven't (and apparently won't) reissue Otaku and Shades 1 so I guess Shades 1 is a disc I will never hear.

An excellent idea. If you subscribed to the service, and got all of the discs, any you don't like you could take to your local FAX-friendly music shop for them to sell on, or just sell them second hand. Is Pete himself subscribed to this list? Bye!
