Kevin Energy has a kickstarter up and running for a nu energy album and it's reasonably priced. I've always liked Kevs productions and i've already backed it. I recommend checking it out if you like that sort of thing.

A vocal-oriented freeform album?
I have to agree, this is a no to me as well.
I've gotten tired of these kickstarters in general. I didn't even backup a game that became fairly successful (Bloodstained) in fear that it would end up becoming like Mighty Number 9 ultimate did.
And we can't forget the hot mess Blu the Roof was, even if the core product has been delivered

The big difference is that it's ?12 for the album instead of ?100. I went in at ?20 to get the CD

?12 is very reasonable when you compare it to the other kickstarters out there.
I?m going to post loads of old nu energy in the group for backers and hope he makes lots of that stuff.

True, 12 pounds is definitely much better than a 100.
Success must have struct a cord in Joey Riots head. Now he probably thinks no one wants powerstomp, which I do people want (I personally want the more melodic powerstomp or makinastomp stuff)

We want the same things but the price is crazy. I did mention that a few times on his Facebook in the hope that he realises. We must however face facts that as soon as Hams album was announced, lethal theory pretty much stopped and they went to yearly access payments.
I don't expect anyone to work for free but with stuff like that, you can hardly say they are motivated by love for the scene.

There is no difference between an artist or other business that work based on demand.
I don't know if Hardcore is like that though. There is the DEMAND, but it seems more like the SUPPLY doesn't know how to meet it.

Demand has to be sufficient though.
I'm not going to pretend to know what the demand actually is but you have to assume that if the demand is not enough that's why people stop or charge such a large amount to make it worthwhile.
These guys have bills to pay, food to buy, roof over head to keep. So yeah, hundred quid on an album is a no for me but if that is the only way they can survive financially to make the music then I see where they are coming from.
I backed this new album as the small samples sound good to me but the only reason he is doing it is that he can't operate his studio normally otherwise I'm not sure he would bother...

Jesus Christ. How many more kickstarters?
I do like Freeform, but mid to late 2000s stuff. I won't be backing this.

I think if the Joey Kickstarter pricing was similar to the Kevin Energy structure it would have easily hit target by now.

Well, at least compared to the DJ Ham or Vibes & Hatrixx model, Kevin Energy will paying taxes like a regular guy instead of trying to hide it

Why not shut up for once? You don't know what you're talking about at the best of times, so unless you know this to be absolute true, then don't cast aspersions.

I'm backing it. At the very least it's worth it for the all the back catalog I don't have but I'm also excited about new material.
