Hey....do you guys think maybe they are going to try and sell more copies of Harmonium with the release of this album?? I just find it weird how they are still promoting it...

I'm assuming The Inc records bought the rights and ownership to Harmonium from Interscope, otherwise promoting a record which wouldn't benefit the label would make no sense.

And yeah, if an artists album does well enough it will usually bring in sales of previously released albums that listeners haven't purchased or heard yet. Nelly Furtado's "Loose" album did so well that it brought in sales of her album "Folklore' which was considered a commercial failure.

It's really interesting as to how Nelly Furtado and Vanessa mirror one another in terms of carreer paths. Both of them had two amazingly well received debut records each with a massive hit single, both faced a sophomore slump... and then Nelly found Timbaland, and Vanessa found Irv.

I really hope Vanessa finds the same fortune that Nelly has.

I hope that too !

I think Nelly's new stuff is pretty awesome. I must admit I'm getting pretty tired of Timbaland though, he has his fingers in everything these days. I just feel like screaming, "GO AWAY FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES TIMBALAND." Haha.

If they bought the album from Interscope, it's some kind of music history.
The only other thing I can think of is that Wilco album from a few years ago.  They got dropped by Reprise(a Warner Bros. label), but took the album to Nonesuch(a Warner Bros. label).

So WB essentially paid for it twice.

But....Harmonium was released already, had a go at the charts already on a different label.....even if they do fall under pretty much the same banner(Universal Music Group).

That would really mean that Irv is really walking the walk, keeping that album in print.  It really does have a cult following from the people I've spoken to over the years.

Oh, tell me about it. He produced Bjork's single, "Earth Intruders" and it's good, but he's everywhere!

If Heroes and Thieves is a huge hit I wouldn't put it past them to re-issue the CD on their own label. It's difficult to find Harmonium in record stores other than in the used section. I always get annoyed everytime I see Harmonium in the used section. Haha.

Yeah, he's working with Madonna on her new album now too. I like Timbaland and all, but when he produces music for other artists he doesn't really write music with the artist in mind, he forces them to bend to his own style of production and writing. The stuff he's done with Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado has been good, but it all sounds very similar and in the same vain.

I hope his work with Madonna doesn't end up that way.

I got Emma Bunton's "Free Me" at a Virgin. It was an import on clearance for SEVEN freakin' dollars. So, my black heart and I are wishing the Japanese Import of Harmonium is on clearance next time we go so we can get it cheap.

Sorry, Vanessa hahaha.

[portions.for.foxes]

I don't blame you, Japanese CDs are rediculously expensive. I import CDs from Japan all the time and the costs can get pretty out of control because CDs are considered to be a luxury item in Japan.

If you think video games are expensive here, hahaha. Some games are priced 80+ dollars there because they price everything according to the production costs of the item. There's no fixed rates on certain products in Japan like there is here, it sucks. lol
