[kj] "In Excelsis" distribution: Spinefarm

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Spinefarm are considered an "independent business unit" of Universal, meaning they are a separate entity and Universal has the option to pick up their artists for distribution outside of Finland.


And don't even get me started about this nonsense around album and tour delays and renaming EPs.

Aren't Spinefarm in essence Universal?

What if they released an album and nobody came t obuy it?? It's one thing to "play hard to get" but after (god, how many delayed..) cds it's another thing to be "hard to want."

Leave it to KJ to release the first music from a reunited line-up in 28 years on an obscure Finnish death-metal label with no apparent distribution beyond the highway from Helsinki to Oulu. What is the purpose of Spinefarm.uk if they're not actually going to distribute the product?
 
Seriously, is that what it's going to be for the full album? Amazon.com still lists "Industrial Suicide" instead of "In Excelsis" and Amazon.co.uk only has it through independent sellers. I've found it a couple places on the web, but they're all imports from Finland.
 
This is an abusive, one-sided relationship, and yet I keep going back to them. Maybe they'll make a Lifetime movie about me.
