I run a record label[1] and for our music that we think could have a broad appeal we are at pains to ensure there isn't too much of a instrumental intro for the reasons this article describes. It makes me a little sad that this is the case, but it is. We can watch the drop off stats after a long intro-ed song.

- Moru 9y agoYep, I hear it all the time. "No, that song is boring! No, not that one either!". Daughter with friends trying to find good hardrock songs, listening to Nightwish and such. They are 9 years old. Parents cringe and have a lecture in intros.
- EADGBE 9y ago> Records on Ribs gives away its music for free. > To sell music for profit is to deny its worth. It is to reduce it to numbers, spreadsheets, targets. Desire cannot be quantified thusly. > We accept donations, but do not expect them. What we do costs us little, but we cannot avoid making a loss. Nor can the artists who have to buy equipment and take time to rehearse, perform and record. Any money you give us will go to loosen these burdens and will be gratefully received. We want to beat the system but we have to survive within it. Do you fund the recordings? Are these a lot of home studios? Genuinely interested. Music is way more interesting than programming to me. I may have more questions for you.
