You're a "remixing" band/creative producer in the Lessig sense, creating your own unique style, playing around with pieces and ideas, with absolutely no strains on what is allowed. In this way, you remind me of <a href="http://www.alexanderband.dk/" rel="nofollow">Alexanderband</a>. Mikkel, thanks for the clarification and the tip :-)

I would like nothing more than our music to be known by everyone (or at least many people...) so i prefer a low price and a lot of "costumers" (fans) to a high price and no (some) listeners :) But i just wanted to clerify that ofcourse we like the so called "fame", its great to meet new people who recognize us and asks about our music, which actually happends more and more often. And as a small teaser i can inform you that in a short while we will release our 2007 production ... our first attempt at making a videofilm :) Great posting, it gives me a lot to think about.
