The Record Labels should have already outlived their purpose, they're really no longer a necessity. In the past, they have served as a screener so that only the best music is marketed to the public. With online Indie artists (artists that have not signed with a label), the masses could easily serve that function. I've been checking out DMusic for a while, and I'm just starting to get going with Indie-Music (there are lots of other similar sites to choose from.)
The problem with a lot of these types of sites is that they haven't yet figured out the importance of a robust rating system, so it remains difficult to find quality music. (they do have something like this but it is very very limited).
So I've started my own review - it's mostly for myself and a few friends, but why not post it?
At DMusic, I've found 2 bands that I REALLY like a lot.
Adam's Attic uploaded only 1 of their songs to DMusic, but they have several other songs available through other online outlets; unfortunately, they're looking to sign with a lable, so my principles will prevent me from purchasing any more music from them after that happens.
The other artist is Bradley Egel. If you search for him on DMusic.com, you have to search on "bradley" searching on "egel" mysteriously returns nothing.
I'll start another page and start expanding on the list of artists at DMusic that I like. I'm really just looking under Pop and Rock. Maybe someday I'll get to the Country artists.
One last point :
Nine Inch Nails has escaped from the clutches of the RIAA and their Label.
Their latest album can be downloaded from their own website : http://ghosts.nin.com/
A 9-song sample is free, or pay $5 for all 36 songs. All are DRM-free.
If this experiment goes well, hopefully we'll see lots of other bands finish out their contracts and kick the dead weight to the curb.
