[2009-10-20] Official Site Updates / Easter Eggs!

[Ben]

Here's a zip of the 5 new files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=10GWP2JS

Too bad there isn't sound. As nice as it is to see her, it's the music I'm really curious about! Well roll on tomorrow. It would be a little odd to offer a pre-order without any samples, no?

Thanks, Ben. And I agree with you. Maybe a few samples will appear if or when the pre-order starts.

As for me, I would buy the album even without samples. I would even buy it if there were samples and they sucked. I want Alizée's career to continue for the long haul because I like her and I think she will deliver good work in the future. I'm sure many of us here feel the same way.

Without samples though, I think the pre-order will only appeal to the more hard core fans, which may limit what the record company can learn from the sales data of such a pre-order.

Yup. T'is the reason I bought Mes Courants Électriques and En Concert, twice.

This album is going to change everything.

wow... now that just makes it harder to wait for the release!

So, I wonder, what, if anything, is Jive/Epic doing? Sales are going through Alizée's site through some obscure music sales web site... Anyone could do this. I've bought a couple albums that were played on either just YouTube or internet radio that functioned about like this. I'm wondering if "major label" means anything at all anymore. I mean, who cares as long as one gets what one wants, but ... I'm quite uncertain as to what any of it has meant in the last couple years.

I was talking with some people about this, and my take on it is that the Deluxe Edition was probably something Alizée and Institubes cooked up more or less on their own, while the normal versions that appear in record shops and the usual online outlets will need Sony's backing to meet production demands.

It seems that this would be quite an interesting arrangement, and if true, could be good for Alizée. I would imagine Institubes is a more "artist friendly" label. So hopefully Alizée's share of the income from this pre-order will be a higher percentage than what she would have normally received from Sony.

It's certainly a good idea to establish a link to her fans and to create some revenue from them.
No one else will bother to preorder the album for this price -> this arrangement is solely for her hardcore-fans.
