why re release?
- Thread starter Beef beefy
- Start date
he is re-releaseing it because jcor went broke and didn't promote it like tech wanted it done. anghellic sold a lot of copies when it was out and then jcor went broke and it go pulled from stores. now tech did it the way he wanted and is going to do it his way. hopefully anghellic will blow up bigger then last time
nnutt howze was never released........therefore it wouldnt be re-released....but Icy Roc has a majority of those tracks so you are bitching to the wrong people. Everyone wants to hear that shit, it's just gonna take a little more effort to put those out there....re-releasing stuff is easier than putting out 10 year old tracks as new material....think of all the work that has to be done.....mastering, updated material.....plus Tech really didnt like a lot of that material, especially when he was with Perspective Records.

Let me break this down easy... (all numbers are made up by me)
Tech's Anghellic release could have been limited at the time because of money constraints to release 100,000 copies of Anghellic. Let's say 20,000 of those are sittin' on the shelves, and the other 80 were eaten up by hardcore fans...
Then Tech releases AP and releases 200,000 copies, and 18,000 are purchased and the last 20,000 of Anghellic are bought with absolutely no marketing push whatsoever... The decision is then made to reprint Anghellic discs with extra tracks so that the album hopefully matches the sales of the AP album and also gets a few more fans to buy the next album..
Having an undiscoverd album available for re-release is basically like having an entire album made and sitting in a closet while you make new shit. Just because it didn't just recently come out of a studio doesn't mean that it can't sell just as much, if not more, than AP.
I'm pretty drunk right now, but I think this gets the point across, and thats not even mentioning that the Anghellic album has the 3 extra tracks on it, which assures that people who have already payed for Anghellic, will pay for the same album twice for a few extra songs.
Re-releases are a good thing for uneducated consumers, and the artists. I think more bands and artists should push their really old shit in the form of re-releases. The more shit you have out there the better the chance is that I can find at least 1 or 2 things that I like by you..

umm... Lejo_BROKE... just thought i wuld say this...
Calm and Worst are a lot different than NNUTT HOWZE or when originally Tech N9ne was not a man , but a GROUP... that was made way back in the early nineties... while the Calm and Worst were made in the latter half of the nineties...
Like Trav said... the Calm and the Worst and whatever tracks that were made and not used{... I have heard that he has a library of like 300 some odd songs done(maybe this is rumor, but...)} and are all owned by Strange and most likely will be released in some form in the future...

honestly, i thought he was re-releasing anghellic because that was basically his life story. Jcor made too many restrictions and complaints about what he said or did (look at the industry is punks, in the song he says this:
Here's what they said...
Well, yaknow Tech, your drum-n-bass might not
go well with uh urban radio, yaknow?
And, your orange hair, it's so.. not..
black, I mean yaknow, you understand what I'm sayin?)
and shit like that also if you read the absolute power book in the creditz section, it has a "shout-out" to jcor he says right there "jcor yaw hurt me bad with not pushing anghellic. that was my life recorded.....")
there's probably more to it also but that'z what i thought
peace
