Rant Harder: More of the Same is Better than Something New??
9 years ago
A couple of months ago, my favourite artist The Flashbulb put a teaser of some unreleased music he has done on Soundcloud. The last release he did under that alias was in 2005 and holy shit was it good. I never had the privilege to own anything of that alias on a physical copy and I haven't come by any way to get the releases digitally either, so I was super excited at the possibility of a finally getting a release from that alias.
Now, the main alias The Flashbulb has released stuff consistently since like 2004. So when the guy behind the music put up a poll asking whether to release NEW Acidwolf music, or something ALREADY released on vinyl, OBVIOUSLY you're going to pick a 2008 Flashbulb release you can already fucking buy digitally AND own a CD of if that's your thing.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK (I actually feel this mad about it sometimes)
The vinyl release isn't even going to be better quality, it's the same damn 16-bit 44KHz as the original master. The artist himself made comments on the Facebook page implying that he wanted the Acidwolf release to win. And yet people would rather have THE SAME MUSIC in a different shape, because oh boy ain't that exciting (ok, I get that vinyl is more different to CD than that, but you get my point). Even worse, other people's comments seem to be saying that the Acidwolf content won't see a proper release because it lost, I can only hope this isn't true...
GOOD JOB to the people with outstanding logic in favour of having more of the same instead of new quality content that there hasn't been a glimpse of since 2005.
