The Isis spacejet Chronicles: the almost complete collection
By Joy Lynn Clark
January 8, 2022
I was really proud of this album. The work environment was really good. I took my time on the production I was very pleased.
I recorded the whole thing in my room at my dads with my toddler in the bed next to me watching cartoons. I also was getting into new wave again and it came out cool.
The publishing on the other hand was rough. I decided to try this online distributor and was not prepared for all of the steps involved. Wow, this music is going to be everywhere. I am hating my artwork. Oh well, I have already come so far. Also, I am thinking this 20 track record should be two album so I decide to change this ugly artwork slightly. I was thinking that I shouldn’t put my picture on it.
Anyhow, the record goes out. Something is just not right. I start downloading the apps that my music is on and I have a look. Looks OK but I am not happy with how some of it’s displayed and, there’s a leak. And a leak, meaning the distributor sent the album to a site that I didn’t know they were going to send it to or agree to.
I have a trusted file sharing site and they are going to treat me like a dirt bag, I just know it. Those fools might even try and hack me. I better take this down.
I scour the web again, and it’s all still there. I emailed the online distributor and now they have a class action. So does this online clothing retailer I’ve been ordering from.
I start thinking that I really need to give this record to the file share because they have always been cool. Damn, they moved again.
At first, I thought that maybe I just can’t deal with this distributor. I’ll try others. I said and take back from a few. In the end, I figure this thing out I can’t sell from every store that they offer. I learned all of this the hard way.
Eventually, I started getting letters of intent. People wanted that record for the next seven or eight years. How much did I make? Not much but I made some mistakes.
Note: this is when all sorts of legal issue started to rise and technology. I released the two double albums, separate albums, 22 track records, etc. all by myself. Every version and it’s different artwork belong to me.
Special acknowledgment to Mary J Blige, Lenny Kravitz, Robyn, And evanescence.
Something different is missing but I will go and dig out the backup at some point in the very near future.
