Comments on: New Album ‘Like Dust of the Balance’ Out Now http://ochremusic.com/2009/07/27/new-album-like-dust-of-the-balance-out-now/ Music by Christopher Leary Sun, 05 Sep 2010 09:46:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Chris http://ochremusic.com/2009/07/27/new-album-like-dust-of-the-balance-out-now/comment-page-1/#comment-13373 Chris Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:06:24 +0000 http://ochremusic.com/?p=633#comment-13373 Thanks Jed! Yeah, I've been aware of <a href="http://www.pocketuniverse.com.au/Ochre.html" rel="nofollow">them</a> for a while now, but there's not much I can realistically do. I really can't be bothered to ask Benbecula to ask IODA to ask Apple to make some sort of a distinction between us. It simply won't happen, knowing how difficult it is to get in touch with the parties involved. I can't even see 'Like Dust' on iTunes yet. I've thought about getting in touch with the other Ochre and asking if they could change their name, but I'd feel like a complete bastard, as they have as much a right to it as I do. I've been thinking about changing my own name, to be honest. Thanks Jed! Yeah, I’ve been aware of them for a while now, but there’s not much I can realistically do.

The first half of the album is very good, but the last half is stella! Hang Garden, Pteron, Lunar Suburbia, A Great Wave, The Balance - can't turn them off!

This website allows for a good connection to the people that love the music. Sort out the digital distribution globally and limit the physical side, thats where most costs are. However saying that I have just come back from Japan and in shibuya Tokyo HMV i did see "Like Dust of the Balance" on a nice little display in the shop unlike my release just on the shelf, so a good label can get good distribution and give a better profile.

No idea what I'll be doing though, to be honest, but given how long it took to get this album together, I wouldn't fancy my chances at getting another album out any time soon. We'll have to see what happens.

It sucks when good underrated indie labels have to shut down..I was very sad when Merck Records shut down a few years ago. Do you have any leads as to what label you'll appear next?

I'm sure it'll happen, just not as soon as I'd hoped. If I do play live again, I'd love to come to the states!

I'm sad to hear about Lemodie not being done again; it's such an amazing album and I would have loved to get a hold of a hard copy. If you decide to play live again, come to the states! We need more artists like yourself. -Z I'll be picking this up as soon as I can.

I'll have to implement a rigorous feasibility study once I've returned to Ochre Towers, by checking my bank balance. If I can squeeze the whole album on a single 12 without it sounding like the loading screen from Daley Thompson's Decathlon on the Spectrum, then we're set. May have to carry out some judicious track edits, though, which will pain me greatly. Not sure yet.
