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.
Whatever the percentage, I think this was like a concert: designed to bring in a dense income for the artist. I mean, come on, 65€. Only Alizée fans with no limits are going to pay for that. (though ironically, people will spend that for a few hours on one night for a concert (or in my case, much much more) In today's world, it's unthinkable that they could get away with that without so much as a song list or even a single sample (and as it turns out if that other thing was true, there's only ten songs--also a bit shocking in today's market).

That's the other reason to do it and the reason it was made available before any release of any song. We are so obsessed with the idea of what we want from Alizée that we are willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and buy on the chance that it's worth it. If we heard it first, the question would be answered and we might decide it's not. This is why I say she has such a rare life to have been able to have sort of fallen into such a position. Moreover, didn't I see someone saying more than 350 had been sold? If so, we just paid for the album.

That is finally the main reason they did it. Because, since when do artists get any significant percentage anyway? Even if a minimum is being spent on this thing, that was the only way for Alizée to get a significant chunk of change. Someone finally figured out that Alizée has few fans, but ones who will shell out for her in a big way. In 2007 they could have created an even bigger package and sold out on it, or the same package and sold it for 100€. Like I have said, people were paying $100 on eBay for that plain colored radio sample single of MJ. I wish Alizée had created a package more like this back then and charged 300€ for it. She would have sold them. I have like seven copies of Psychédélices. I was so in love with her and the allure of her stardom and all the merchandise I missed out on getting in the past--she was just such a big personality still.

By the way lefty, if I correctly remember that remix you did, let's just say, maybe you should have written Alizée's music.

Good thing it's available on itunes this time eh?

Though I'm above that petty ordeal; got myself the preorder package.
