Up to you... but traffic is not so high, so I don't see a real use for it.
Also, people that are subscribed here are mostly interested in various
things...

I've noticed that the Belgian author organisation (is that the correct english
word?) has a lot of "standard" contracts online since a few days. They're all
in Dutch though. www.sabam.be (PS: the site doesn't work with netscape 4.7x)

Well, for that song, I had the lawyers of EMI publishing taking care of
everything, so it wasn't a real problem. They REALLY screwed up though!!! First
they told me I could use the sample, which I did. Then, a couple of days before
the production of the CD had to start, they told me the sample had to be
removed etc. It was a mess.

As for the song: due to their mess, it isn't released yet. It was meant for a
compilation CD but that one is out already without the song. The record company
decided to use a different approach now. It's been remixed etc and the promo
(white label) will be released in the next couple of weeks. At the end of
August, the vinyl will be released and some weeks later the CD single.

I've uploaded the song, together with the remix (both radio versions/edits).
Feel free to download it, but please don't give it away as I'm officially not
allowed to do this.  The link will be removed at the end of the weekend.

Any comments and feedback are welcome. http://www.belway.com/cantletgo/    to
download. Enjoy! :)
As you will hear, I used some of Emagic's internal effects: I used Tape Delay,
as well as the Autofilter. All sampling handled by EXS, all vocals mixed
internally using the Waves Renaissance plugins.

Bye,
Joeri
