New life in the mainstream for SID?

Or are you doing your own SID tunes?
Seth's an original :) And we're already talking about covers he does do.

Chris
Firstly, congrats to Seth. I loved the last 8BW CD and can't wait to hear what new stuff you've come up with :)

Secondly, regarding royalties (Chris). Are the payment of sample royalties still dictated by the duration of the sample? I seem to remember that the sample has to be proven to be the main feature point of the song before an artist gets royalties (I think it was five seconds or over)?...

What if Seth (as an example) made a track using the Arkanoid drum set, but nothing else Arkanoid related, would Galway require payment?

Just a thought - probably a grey area, I would imagine...

Tonka

EDIT: BTW, Liam Howlett used the Arkanoid drums in the last Prodigy album. Just thought I'd snitch on him here... ;)
There has been no sampling of anyone elses stuff...100% Original baby~! ;)

Good - that's what I like to hear :)

I probably shouldn't have used you as an example. It is in fact me that is thinking using the Arkanoid drumset - I just thought I'd use you to throw Galways lawyers off the scent and buy me some time to get across the border... :)

Nice new WS BTW.

LOL! Hey Seth, may I suggest that you add a new T-shirt design to the selection on your website stating:

"100% original SIDs!"

It'll just save you having to repeat yourself... :wink:
