> Funny that Twilley's label, Digital Musicworks International, Inc. (DMI)
is making his new album available at Amazon. This is their creed according
to the label's website: "By distributing and promoting artist's music
exclusively through digital music stores, DMI is taking advantage of this
new medium to deliver an improved artist experience. Through a digital-only
music distribution model, artists will have more creative control, and can
release more songs, more frequently."
Since Bruce doesn't have a store per se, doesn't he own a digital store? Or
is Not Lame a virtual store? Whatever NL is, Amazon isn't any different,
just bigger.
I hope I don't sound like the guy hoarding his 8-track tapes crying about
the CD, but I sure hope music doesn't only exist in file format anytime
soon. I need that tactile experience, even if it is a booklet instead of a
glorious gatefold album cover. Yes, the sonics are still there, but I think
generations raised on downloads are missing a connection with the artist by
having the songs reduced to a readout on their iPod.
