Hi Cyborg mate...how are you ?.
i see that you've been really busy on music Forte...your music is getting really good now :)
well that's a really good question...
i dont think that we are loosing energy at all... i know that we are on many many sites...and it is very hard to keep going on ALL of them..i try to concentrate now on 7 main sites and just update the others occasionally.
as long as you enjoy what you are doing then you are not loosing energy...but you are saving it up for the future...your energy is being put to a good thing..and you are building yourself a future in the music industry...the more energy you put into it..the more you will get out of it.
you have to have an idea though..of where it will take you...you have to visualise in your head EVEY day...where you want to be...and think about it every day...what i try to do...is think about what i need to do...to get where i want to be...and break it down into small peices...like a jig saw puzzle.
so in answer to your question NO we are not loosing energy...we have direction...a puprpose...a creative talent..and as long as we believe..we WILL get there...and for example you...i can see your progress over the last 6 months..has been huge...you are doing really welll...especially on music forte...but i think maybe you should also get yourslef onto a few more sites...in my opinion..the following sites are the 'best' ones to get onto...and just concentrate on these sites maybe..coz music forte is not really a brilliant site for electronica...its more of a rock/hip-hop site/pop site..it would be great for example to see you on artist server.com...you'r music would be very sucessful on there.
ok i think the most helpful/best sites to be on are:
artistserver.com
garageband.com
podsafemusicnetwork.com
soundclick.com
lastfm.com
musicfinity.com
acidplanet.com
broadjam.com

maybe you are already on some of these ?

[Cyborg Music]

yeah ! jay .....thanks !
u know , the mind talk , i cant sleep....ja !
u have reason in your concepts....is thus...
im in progress, only i want to take the good direction...
in my mind i always think in a grupal record label...
like a part of solution....
the individual way is so hard....
but we r here , this is good....
yesterday i download two song of u and psylochain...
and when i listen the music , i say wow ! good music !!!!

Have you ever heard of http://music.podshow.com ? If so, what's your take on it?

It's got some fine print that scares me.

[Electromagnetic Impulses]

hi reconsiderate..yes i have heard of it and i've uploaded every track that i've done onto it...its a awesome way of getting your music all over the globe..although you dont get paid for it.
and whats more once your track has been played on a show..you get notified and you can listen to the show/download.
this is where i've met Martin aka green Fragon..he has a show called bite size bonus which is played every day from mon-friday and listened to by about 1,000 people plus (daily)...he has played (every single one) of my tracks on his show...getting me the kind of exposure that even £1,000 couldn't get me...so dont delay dude ..get onto that site now/upload and watch as your tracks start a journey all over the globe !!

Thanks for that info Jay. All very useful stuff. Just to add to the list and pimp myself. http://www.madbouncydogs.com promotes not only to the 1000's of music podcasters globally but now we have a direct link to the UK Student Radio Association. All of their member stations (over 60) can play your music if you have them on our store. The stations are based in colleges and universities country wide and are widely seen as on the cutting edge of new music.

Anyone can give me a shout if they're interested in more info.

Thank you for the list indeed. Here are a few other sites of interest to music labels, music managers and recording artist seeking to release new material. Some of the sites are U.S. based in terms of contacts, so it's really good for people wanting to make connections on U.S. soil.
