i could hand you dl-links for the purple section via mail. and this is a secret. and it’s too small to fail. and this should be a legal practice. and since i don’t want to be your viral marketing agency just let me know if you feel your rights are disrespected and want me to take this thing down.

5k8A1d-Industries…

  • …has a virtual-reality-my-ass-policy: no digital sound carrier. just vinyl and tape.
  • …chronologically adds the latest releases: personal music diary / worldwide hypegeist mirroring / embraces the now enthusiatically.
  • …is rather hunter than gatherer / has a been-there-done-that-mentality / is loyal to no one (no gods – no masters): no band taped twice.
  • …doesn‘t care about the past: no nostalgia / no reissues.
  • …doesn‘t care about concept albums: all into one-track-minded one-trick-ponys.
  • …owns way to many records: professional prosumer products.
  • …is for touring bands: play loud, drive safe and escape forwards.
