The scene is dead without HU plain and simple.

CD'S rule. the aspect of a physical copy is just pleasing; not to mention a CD is permanent high quality streaming; that is priceless over digital any day
also; when the next carrington event sized solar flare hits and the electronic apocalypse occurs; we are REALLY going to want cds ;)

There are some freeform labels that don't have a problem shifting 250-500 copies of their CDs (Rebuild, Stamina, Smiling Corpse etc.), the model seems to be working well in that community, so I don't see how HU should have a problem shifting 1000 with bigger names like Scott Brown and Al Storm etc. They even have Shimumura this year which will get the Japanese crowd on side too. I've often thought HU should include a J-Core CD for variety purposes but I guess I'm in the minority in that thought. The Shimumura CD is a step in the right direction though IMO.

CDJay, I have your solution.
Scrap the artwork, add a woman in a bikini.
Sorted.
You're welcome ;)
But seriously, I thought way more than 750 people would attend just one HU rave, so I'm surprised that obviously not everyone wants to own a copy of the music they've most likely just heard (?). I like your Amazon-ish idea of digital downloads tied in to the CDs, I'm too lazy to rip my music and add the correct tags etc.

They should just fcuking do it as an experiment. Seriously. Call it Hardcore Underground Exposed or something. Slap a saucy tart across the front.
Could to a Beat Bukkake version (this is a phrase I've really been pushing for a few years, but it's not getting any traction). The cover could feature a bird down here knees with a load of glowsticks slapping her about the face.

You can always organize your own event and call it just that! Hardcore Highlights presents... BEAT BUKKAKE!

Beat Bukkake has been on almost every list that I've made when I've been thinking about potential names for a rave that I will one day put on.

@CDJay I'm just gonna throw in an idea on the digital release. I like the idea of linking digital rights to the purchase of the actual medium. How about giving people who purchase the CD the option to either get the digital version right away or get a voucher code for 3 (or whatever makes sense) free tracks from the HU store? That might make people use the store and buy more single tracks in the future.
I personally don't have any CD drive but I want that album and even more importantly I want to support you so we will see more great compilations in the future. I get your point that pure digital releases don't sell well but I am sure that you're losing customers by not offering any kind of digital release.

CDJay - hows about a batch of HU USBs again, this time with the album in digital form? You still get something to own, people with no CD Drives on their computers (like me!) are sorted :)
BTW - I take my discs to work and rip them there.
