The relationship vectors are very different. IT dorks tend to NOT want to see who they are dealing with but music people keep their contacts close in the Machiavellian sense of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". Its very cut throat once you get above selling tapes at shows our out of the back of your car. My experience so far in the Japanese music scene is the same as far as the need for face to face contact. No comment on the backstabbing aspect so far. As far as CDs go, I've given them up entirely for my music. I'm only releasing on vinyl and then to digital only stores. This is the thing I've been wanting to talk to you about. I've developed a very cost efficient model for pressing and getting my music into the appropriate distribution for what I do (new roots/dub reggae). I'm planning on doing a thing to help extend the same model to Japanese reggae people later this year. I want to talk to you about if we could do something together which might be mutually beneficial. Send me a message on mixi when you have time. My work is sorta near Nihon Columbia so maybe we could catch lunch and discuss. I was in the music biz in the US before I became an IT dork. The relationship vectors are very different.
