focused group, a CD or online subscription would generate more interest than
the project I was involved with.<<
Yeah, I knew there was something done by AH members a while back. I don't
know if the CD you mention is the same one. But those CDs seem to be known
mostly to just AH members and I'm not sure they were ambitious projects.
Seemed like anybody could throw something onto them. I'm wondering about CD
sales when they make it into better known retail channels such as
Amazon.com, record stores, and little reviews that pop up in magazines like
Keyboard. It seems like the first CD from the Moog Cookbook guys must have
been enough of a success to cause them to do a second CD. And their CDs are
really simplistic and basic as far as synthesis is concerned. Dana
Countryman must be doing his Jean-Jacues Perrey collaboration CD for more
than a few dozen sales to list members. It would be interesting to hear
where that is planned to go.
