Rob Harvey feels disillusioned by the digital revolution

This is a bit short-sighted - I don't agree that downloads make songs accessories - it depends on the manne rin whihc they are gained and the type of music they are. Where big bands can go it alone (radiohead), small bands need a community to use as a boost. Enter sites like CherryEcho.com, Noisetrade, and sellaband, even aralie and slice the pie. These allow a forum for bands to upload music, and the best will be succesful - it puts the power into the hands of the listener. If the music only appeals to a few, then only a few will listen, but if it appeals to lots then it can be succesful on a wider scale through these sites. CherryEcho.com alos aims to keep the CD format alive while utilising the power of the internet and free downloads. It's all about innovation people, and not being short-sighted.
