With the introduction of a plethora of digital recording media combined with the diversity and worldwide exposure of the internet. The capabilities of self production and marketing are endless. We have no need for the "Big" labels to over-produce, control where, when and what can be played and distribute our product. Then take the lions share if not all of the profit. This is the scenario I have waited for and why I have refused to sign with a major label.
Now, we are destined to hear a more raw sound, self produced and what the musicians themselves intend in their music. We will see the steady decline of the big labels. Wile the independent labels will flourish leaving the big labels floundering in their declining Cd sales.
