I always find it interesting to hear people from other genres speak about their point view. Roman Flügel has released enough good tuff to make a point.

Knowledge Magazine | Interview: dBridge.

dBridge is a very different music lover to you and I. His life in drum and bass reads like an elaborate romance, with fall outs, moments of passion and moments of hate. But when it all comes down to it, this is a man besotted. I naively ask him what it is about dnb which keeps drawing him back and like a hopeless addict he explains, “It’s so interwoven in the formative years of my life that I can’t let it go, I just love it, and I always will!”

I couldn’t have said it more precisely. Great musician.

I’ve often written about the way of making money as an artist, especially in times of declining physical sales. The issue is still hot, and as we know from NIN or Radiohead, people do pay for music they might for free – as long as they connect emotional value to it. The MTT link below sheds some light on this, especially the need to react to file sharing, as well as SEO issues. Interesting.
