Now this is a good feedback.
The blurb from resonate is 20,000 sales = 356 EUR. By this, you would
have approx. 10,000 sales.
What was your (approx.) total sales so far ?

Carbon Based Lifeforms are interesting. I've listen to them a few
times on youtube. Goes to show, people are still buying even if the
music is there for free on youtube. This is very good, as people show
appreciation.

It would be nice to talk about this right here.

Yes. Coming up with a 'brand' so to speak. Something that's
identifiable. A direction. This is what it's about, that
artist/music/album is about that, at least at the moment.
