Hope it does well. The one that was released for the victims of hurricane Katrina is one of the best "various artsists" cds i own.Mostly new or unreleased tracks.Well worth checking out as the money is still going to New orleans, and they still need help. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

We've reached $2000. Did anyone here get this? What are your favorite tracks?

Will get this despite that the K in Projekt made me think King Crimson was somehow involved. Great idea and a great cause

i wonder, a few years ago a similar project, The Tsunami Projekt, made over $15,000 for the tsunami victims. Why has this one only barely squeaked past $2,000? Is it really because people are not ready for a digital-only format? What do you guys think, if it was a CD with 15 songs vs. a download with 40 songs, would it have been better? Personally, I would have been surprised that the format would have an affect on sales since it's a charity...but, of course, we want to do what is best for the cause - what can you guys suggest to improve the response? ------------- https://www.facebook.com/ShadowCircus/" rel="nofollow - ..::welcome to the shadow circus::.. |

Based on the experience I had with my first album, format may very well have something to do with it. I can't tell you how many folks said to me, "Pass for now because I don't really do downloading, but let me know if and when there's a CD made." ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

At least I'm not one of them, I bought your album! (and enjoyed it very much, btw). Wow, I guess it really is an issue - I wonder if that's because a lot of prog fans might be a slightly older crowd in general? Or do people still have more of a sense of value when getting a physical CD, even the younger iPod crowd? ------------- https://www.facebook.com/ShadowCircus/" rel="nofollow - ..::welcome to the shadow circus::.. |

And Whispers and Screams is excellent.  (Now I have to hear it again! Too bad I have a phone conference in two minutes  ).As for your question, I think it's a combination of both. Between CDs and mp3s, I prefer CDs myself (a nice booklet does add value), but that doesn't stop me from downloading either. And some folks have told me that they don't feel comfortable downloading things. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |
