Rock the Net with Cloud 13

There's an interesting article on the future of music over on CNN today (thanks again Slashdot!). Here's a link to the article.

Basically the story boils down to this: A lot of big names in music are now throwing their weight into the fight for Net Neutrality. And I'm pleased to announce that Cloud 13 Records is joining the fight, too. Since a label like ours literally could not exist without the benefit of Net Neutrality, we consider it to be a cause near and dear to our hearts.

Please check out the FutureofMusic.org site for more information on this increasingly important subject.

March 2007 Fertile Compilation Now Available

The March 2007 edition of the Fertile Compilation has been completed and copies should be showing up at a variety of hangout spots around town (Tallahassee, FL) in the very new future, if they haven't already.

This latest edition of the Fertile Comp is one of the finest yet, and features music from The Grand Canyons, The Humbell, and others, along with more excellent poetry and artwork than you can shake a stick at.

As always, we'll also be making this latest issue of the Fertile Compilation available from the Cloud 13 Records website, so check the Fertile Compilation area of the Cloud 13 site (which can be found here) frequently for updates.

Cloud 13 Records Short-Run Services

If you haven't checked out the latest Cloud 13 has to offer in short-run manufacturing services, you should check out the info on short-run CD manufacturing here. We've recently expanded our service offerings to include shrink-wrapping and economical photo-quality black-and-white CD printing.

What sets Cloud 13 short run CD printing and duplication services apart from those you might see offered elsewhere is quality: Our CDs are printed at better than commercial quality and there's no pricing penalty for ordering smaller quantities.

So if you're an unsigned band without a lot of extra cash laying around, instead of pressing 500 or more CDs with no way to guarantee you'll make your money back, let us press anywhere from 25 to 75 CDs for you at a cost you can still make a good return on. Or if you just need a few extra CDs for a demo mail-out, let us know and we'll help you out.
