I've only listend on little laptop speakers, but I'm liking Dead Planet Society, the cymbals are very bright and sparkely. Perhaps its over-emphasised by the horrid little speakers though! I'll listen to it on proper speakers, and report back then. Sounds good so far! Cheers, -Harry

Firefox outputs to alsa loopback, zalsa_in connects to zita-mu1, zita-mu1 (with HP switch on) connects to hw out. The way I see it soundcloud and bandcamp serves different purposes. I feel that bandcamp is more suited for album releases, while soundcloud is for the occasional track releases. But there's no reason not to use both, some people might prefer bandcamp's personalized and cleaner page, some people might want to use soundcloud social features, like comments and followers.

The louder songs are a bit tiring after a while, the bass and kick is a bit too much for me if listened on headphones (Focusrite HP60, I think it's a relabeled Superlux HD662, and it is a bit boomy), but it's good on earphones and tiny laptop speakers. Haven't tried to listen it on a proper monitor. I love the toms. Overall, they're superb!!! I'm curious though, did they go through maximizers/limiters? If they did, how hot did you push them for the louder songs?

Nicely done. Listening to it on stereo headphones through an external soundcard running into a stereo amp. Sometimes sounds a little on the muddy side, depending on the instrument mix. Just my personal opinion, but I think you guys have great commercial potential. You're good at writing songs, playing and singing. Any videos of you guys performing? Firefox 24.2 on Linux with Adobe Flash installed. Works fine after it took me about two years to figure out how to make Adobe Flash use my external soundcard instead of the sucky internal sound ... Flash sucks. And HTML5 video is slow and klunky unless you have a lot of CPU and graphics adapter hardware to throw at it. -- David W.

Don't need bandmates for that, you just film each of you playing your instruments and make the vid from that. -- David W.

If you really need to visit a site that requires flashplayer, anyway don't install flashplayer, but install google-chrome-stable. "Albums produced in Linux" and posted on websites that require proprietary Adobe stuff IMO are not really interesting. It could be considered as halfhearted. IMO it's more punk-rock to produce on what ever gear is available, but to publish the art by something that is accessible by everybody, that doesn't require non-open source codecs, non-open source software. That's just who I am. IMO people are free to produce on Linux and than they even could publish using DRM, just I won't care about those publications. Years ago I was pissed when a Linux musician posted on this website, since when I clicked on play a window popped up and abused me by sarcastically asking why I'm using the Internet, when I'm using "I don't like the Internet add-ons/settings".

If they want to do marketing research or for what ever this should be "good" for, why don't they use e.g. Pwik Analytics? I'm not the punk-rock pope. People should do whatever they like, but I guess it's unlikely that people from my generation, born in 1966, IOW 80s punk-rock children, will care about rock'n'roll released on such platforms. JFTR I'm not a fan of google-chrome-stable, but it IMO is a better choice than flashplayer, just in case there should be the need to visit a site that requires flashplayer, perhaps a government agency or something like that. By having Chrome installed and not flashplayer, other web browsers aren't affected by a flashplayer install. Again, I don't judge people using what ever they want, people just should stop wining about offended data protection, capitalism, Babylon, if they participate on their own choice, while there absolutely is no need to do it. Assumed there shouldn't be a "good" platform to share music. Is there really the need to share music by the Internet? Regards, Ralf

Why should a rock'n'roll/punk-rock band being interested to participate? Why should listeners being interested to participate? I'm not interested to participate. I'm willing to turn a blind eye, if somebody does use Piwik instead of Google.

So I choose to work in a way that prefers these channels. That choice is related to the kind of society I want to live in, as such it is a deeply political choice. Huge centralised server networks certainly make it easier for the user to consume what is offered, and perhaps make distribution of approved works easier for a broad range of conforming artists. News Limited is a very convenient source of news and information, very dominant here but consistently full of bullshit. Information and cultural works are increasingly blocked from centralised server networks for all kinds of reasons, some of which certainly contradict my idea of appropriate content. Most people don't seem to care much how that information, music and other content is filtered or for what purposes. Here (in Australia) the level of secrecy with regard to public policy and decision making and the extent to which mainstream media is filled almost exclusively with vacuous nonsense is getting worse and worse. We seem to believe it is the right way to go ... at least when it comes to actually choosing via elections (voting is compulsory and preferential here, we have well over 90% voting with plenty of choice available). If this is to be the easy, mainstream way I will choose the more difficult, fringe path. My tastes are frugal, I'm not young and I don't have dependants so I'll probably escape the harshest effects of steady shift in social structures here. Most of us seem willing to embrace it, and so we will, but I can at least keep a little bit independent on a personal level and argue against it whenever I can. Simon
