okay, so how much did Van Richter pay you anyway?
I guess you all are cowards without voices... lame fucks...
THis is the BEST new industrial label ever. Re-Con and Fifth Colvmn are a JOKE.
Who's heard from Jared lately and Chase is too involved with going to CMJ.
Paul is concentrating on good music and the reputation of his bands...
Paul is a very good guy, I defy ANYBODY to tell me or post anything

Hrm. I think that Van Richter is the worst run label in the business.
Paul has an ego larger that most rock stars. Just because you are
independently wealthy doesn't mean we like your attitude nor will
we put up with it.
>THis is the BEST new industrial label ever. Re-Con and Fifth Colvmn are a JOKE.
*huh* Van Richter for the first two years of it'sexistence, ONLY licensed
bands. It was only just recentlythat they even bothered to sign bands
directly to themselves. Meanwhile back at Cleopatra and FCR, they
have been signing their own bands for years and have been releasing
large quantities of albums. VR has a back catalog of what, 8 albums?
>Who's heard from Jared lately and Chase is too involved with going to CMJ.

Jared was on tour *gasp* Chase posts daily. Are you blind?
Paul is concentrating on his bad attitude and poor marketing strategy.

Lest you forget Pual has made an ass of hismelf on rmi more times than I
can recall. This froma man knownto call other records labels and leave a
message to call him back at the VR office and leave Chases's name
because the label won't talk to him if they knew it was Paul.

I just did a litttle checking and Van Richter albums account for .175% of my
CD collection, that is 1 out of 570 or so. I couldn't even name any bands on
it other than Fair Sex and Testify (which are basically the same band). Not
that there's anything wrong with those bands, or the label for that matter.
But how can you say a label "rocks"? Even in the heyday of WaxTrax, they still
released a lot of crap. Maybe Van Richter hasn't, but how many records have
they released? 5? And if the guy is so damn supportive of the scene, why
doesn't he sign some more bands? At least Chase and Brian are down here in the
trenches with us, supporting struggling talent in the US. Van Richter is so
busy liscensing old german records, he has to hire 12 year olds to do his
spamming.

Maybe Van Richter should title their next label sampler compilation, "Fuck
you all. Van Richter are God!!" It could even include a subheading that
states, "A label sampler of ass sucking industrial for fans like Steven
Janas --a man who wants others to suck his ass."
"Van Richter Is A Paul Abramson Product!"
Now this is a pretty lame statement on it's own. This guy didn't PRODUCE
anything. He is, at best, a distributer. And is "Van Richter" really a
product? It's just the name of the company. The CD is the product.
But the worst part is the exclamation mark. As if to say that his name (like
anybody knows who he is) insures that you are buying a quality product. Who
gives a crap? If he's such a damn egomaniac, why didn't he just go all the way
and name the company after himself? It worked for David Geffin.
Also, I'd just like to point out that Van Richter exceeds the maximum
allowable random backward letters in their logo. (No more than 3).
> and Chase is too involved with going to CMJ.
too involved to post more than 4 or 5 times a day. And geez...he only signs 6
or 8 bands a year! What is with him?
>Paul is concentrating on good music and the reputation of his bands...
As every good label owner should. I don't believe I've heard anybody put down
any of the bands. However, if he's doing such a good job with promotion, why
can't I name more than 2 of his bands? I looked in Industrial Nation to find
his latest releases...he didn't even take out an ad. Where's he spending his
money...Family Circle?
>
>Paul is a very good guy, I defy ANYBODY to tell me or post anything

Well, I think that we've established that he's an egomaniac. But really, who

good records.

Actually, the word on the street is that Abramson couldn't run an ad in
IN even if he *wanted* to - he's given them so much grief that they
refuse to take his advertising money. I've heard the same about at least
one other major "alternative" magazine. This makes me feel bad for the
bands on (or distributed by) VR... even though I think that all of 'em
except DHI and Sielwolf are pretty stinky, they still deserve to have a
fair shot in the marketplace, but with an albatross like Abramson hanging
around your release's neck, that's pretty difficult.

--oOo--
Personally, I too love VAN RICHTER bands, they are providing a
psychoaggrotint to industrial that is missing in a lot of other
underground releases. Testify, The Fair Sex, Plastic Noise Experience,
SielWolf, and Death & Horror Inc. are all excellent Euro/Canadian bands
that are getting some much-deserved American airplay thanks to VR. All
are played on my local college radio KUNM, and without the VR blocks it
just wouldn't be the same radio show.
I know a lot of people think poorly of VR's management, but that is
irrelevant to the music that is being put out. If somebody pushes a
little extra trying to get their sounds out to the ears that want them,
give them a chance to say their piece. If it pisses you off, just don't
listen, nobody forces you to talk to anyone or answer letters. But don't
disregard Testify or the Fair Sex because you think the label sucks,
there is more to a CD than how it is promoted.
I'm probably bringing all of RMI down on me for this, but I had to give
my opinion in a discussion that hits close to my heart.

Maybe you haven't been reading rmi very long but some of us remember
when Paul first came on rmi and posted an advert for Van Richter in
response to *every* thread. Like, someone would ask for Die Warzau
recommendations, and he'd say "well if you like Die Warzau you'll
probably like the bands on Van Richter!" and slap 'em with his huge sig.
That pissed a lot of people off quickly, when there were sometimes ten
or more basically identical van Richter ads in the newsgroup each day;
even those of us who had no direct contact with Paul or his label.
What's worse is that whenever anyone mailed him to complain, he ignored
the mail and sent another, bigger advert in return.
Is that negative enough for you?

..not to mention the whole shebang regarding terrorizing a
former(?) music director at KDVS with legal threats, just because she
took a stance and made it public on r.m.i.
The dissing directed towards VR and (more specifically) Paul Abramson has
little or nothing to do with the music that he releases. Even though I
think most of what he's released is trash (DHI and Seilwolf being the
only redeeming factors), I have no problems with any of the bands
themselves and their attempts to sell records, play shows, or whatever.
What I *do* have a problem with (and a lot of other people on rmi have a
problem with as well) is Abramson himself, specifically his horribly
unprofressional manner and his remarkably large ego. Because of this, I
refuse to purchase or own any VR product - but luckily, any of the
material I'd be interested in owning is available elsewhere (I'm good
friends with DHI and own all the original Canadian pressings of their
releases, and Seilwolf is avilable on KK), so the bands I care about
won't have to suffer.

i don't think anyone said that they don't have the right to put out their

where they are trying to market themselves, they will be more
accountable if they don't listen.

no, i basically agree with what you're saying. don't dismiss a band
because of label. but i think maybe we should say to the bands to diss the
label they're on. personally, i don't like the bands (the ones i've heard
at least), but i think they deserve a better label.
> Van Richter Music Kicks Ass!
not mine 8]
Personally I cannot comment on whether Paul of Van Richter deserves the
villification he's getting in this group. I can however honestly say that
the "spamming" he's been accused of is no different than that performed by
other labels who happen to carry more popular groups. Perhaps that is why
labels like Fifth Column and Cleopatra are for the most part spared the
vitriol sent Van Richter's way. I personally have no problem with labels
posting to this group, it *is* called rec.music.industrial and they *are*
industrial labels. I also have nothing against any of these labels it's
just that I think if Van Richter had CHEMLAB on the roster then this
thread wouldn't exist.
With respect to the bands, pretty easy for you to say "diss your label".
First of all, since many of the VR bands are from Canada and Europe they
will have had little direct interaction with Paul of VR (and so will not
know him personally). Secondly, have you ever tried submitting demos? It
isn't exactly easy to get signed, especially to a label that actually has
some distribution. For most bands the chance to have someone release
their material is something they will never experience. It's not like VR
is run by George Bush or anything. After you've sent out 50-100 demos I'm
sure you wouldn't be so quick to diss *any* label that was willing to put
out your material.
The only VR band I'm personally into is SIELWOLF. I ordered it from VR,
Paul answered my email to let me know my cash made it, sent it in a
reasonable amount of time and most importantly, the CD totally kicked.

You're missing the point entirely; there was a spamming incident last year
where Van Richter posted some hundred or so replies to various threads with
little or no (or sometimes insulting) content but a large .sig that was an
ad for his web site; this wasn't simple advertising/promotion like 5th
Column or Cleo do, it was spamming. Add to this his fuck-off attitude to
anybody's objection to the spam, his attempts to collect money from zine
publishers and DJs to whom he sent unsolicited review copies of CDs, and
his threats to *sue* a KDVS DJ when she posted here about her dealings
with Paul/Van Richter and you have the picture of a label with bottom-of-
the-barrel business practices. Is it any wonder then that postings by Paul
Abramson and his cronies elicit a hostile reaction?

You're completely missing the point; the hostility directed at VR has
little to do with the bands (a lot of people actually like Sielwolf and
DHI, though the consensus seems to be that the rest are mediocre), it has
to do with the owner.
>It's not like VR is run by George Bush or anything.
Oh, well that's important....
Paul Abramson - at least he's not George Bush.
>After you've sent out 50-100 demos I'm sure you wouldn't be so quick to
>diss *any* label that was willing to put out your material.
What's your point? Its not the people who are having their material put
out by VR that are "dissing" him to begin with. In any event, if I were
a musician (and I know plenty of them), I think that I'd avoid a label
that goes out of their way to alienate people; its not the best way to
get your work promoted. (Though I do realize that most of these German
bands will have no idea how Paul does things over here.)
>The only VR band I'm personally into is SIELWOLF. I ordered it from VR,

So maybe Paul has laid off the old crack pipe for a while.

as if Van Richter had been a model label. Van Richter just keeps pushing
and pushing...

you have it all wrong. i guess you weren't hear when people had to wade
through _half_ a newsgroup of Van Richter posts. industrial label or
not, that's just bad. the people here would have said the same thing to
any other label. pshaw, the CHEMLAB thing doesn't make a difference to me
at all.

they don't need to know him well personally but they feel safe enough to
have their music on his label?
i'd want to know what a label is doing with my music, and how they're
promoting my music.

maybe not. but then again i wouldn't be surprised if more people weren't
buying my music because the label was ran by an idiot.
and i'm not really concerned about that, because if their music is
really good enough, then people will buy it anyway, or another label will
be willing to pick it up. but if the music is mediocre, then there's no loss.

that's good. i'm glad VR has made you happy.
maybe he's getting better. but that doesn't mean people will forget
everything when asked "i dare you to say one bad thing about Van Richter,
rmi is all about keeping a man down, suck my ass etc..."
Ummm... what the *hell* are you talking about? The Chemical Land EP was
the first of four releases on Fringe (two EP's and two full lengths), and
the KK and VR releases have just been repackaged versions of their second
Fringe album, "Pressures Collide". So of course they haven't "done
anything worth listening to" since leaving Fringe... because they haven't
done *anything* since leaving Fringe!
Well, that's not totally true - they have been recording, although the
new stuff is *miles* away from their older material, In fact, it's so
different that it's being shopped around to labels under a different
name. No guitars, no vocals, and the one track I've heard is some of the
most original sounding electronic music I've heard in a loooooong time.
I'll lay odds that most people reading this newsgroup will hate it. :-)
Greg
Oops. My error. I assumed (wrongly) that they had jumped labels...
However, the Chemical Land EP and the song 99 realities were the
only really good stuff they did (IMHO)...

would end right there! You can't expect anyone to respect you and play your
bands when you treat people in this manner.
You have the possibility to have a good thing with VR. Don't fuck it up
with your lame-ass attitude!

Ya, I'd want somebody like Paul to look after MY reputation

Ya, ya Da' Man! Tryin' to keep us down, Kill da' man!

Speaking of conspiracy....hasn't Paul bothered to notice that EVERYONE
hates him?

Real original.

Sifen my butt is more appropriate language young man.
Based on the opinions expressed by most of the people here on rmi, I'm
guessing that Paul has already fucked it up.
And to those of you who want to show your support to the bands on VR
without supporting the label itself, just remember that *every* release
is available on import from another label. I'm sure that Fringe in
Toronto would happily do US mail order on the DHI album, for example. And
any half-decent import shop should be able to get the Euro versions of
the other releases.

Perhaps this post would 've been more effective if you'd quoted the one
you were replying to, Paul. That way more than one person (i.e. you)
would know who the fuck you're referring to.
And by the way, Sammy Hagar didn't have a mustache last time I checked.
Not that I've been paying much attention or anything...
Greg
...who's tickled pink to see David Lee Roth back where he belongs... :-)
I thought perhaps Paul had learned his lesson from events a year or so
ago. Apparently not. Ironic that he is accusing IN writers of being in
junior high (I'm 24), when it he who is displaying the juvenile attitude.

strange DAZE are coming soon!
This is a great thread, I wish I would of seen it sooner. I'd
of like to add to the umberage taken with Paul sooner, but alas, Aaron is
just doing too good of a job. Three cheers mate!

PS If you didn't get it, VR sucks, OK??

so are you pro-VR now too?
if you want proof of how this man will make your life a living hell,
feel free to ask. I politely asked him to stop harassing me
and give me th respect other labels do, and he replied with barrages
of insults and lies.

Thanks Damon, but it really wasn't hard work. Trying to provoke
Paul Abramson into a witty response is like jacking-off without being
able to cum.
BTW Happey Birthday Damon, your bash at So What! was great fun!

You white trash pink floyd listening bad guy! No Seiwolf for you!
You see?!? You see?!? This is what happens when you mix Seinfeld and
r.m.i.! The Seilwolf Nazi!
At the risk of revealing some of my more mainstream tastes... when I saw
"No Seiwolf for you!" above (I'm assuming, by the way, that the
misspelling was an intentional jab at Goat Boy), I instantly thought of
the Soup Nazi episode of Sienfeld. "No soup for you!" Hah!
"Paul Abramson, Promo Nazi!!" :-)
Greg
this might not have anything to do with this (who knows?) but what about
the *bands* on the van richter label? i personally can only stand the
fair sex and plastic noise experience. everything else i felt was really
bad. i have sometimes wondered what all those people thought after they
left heaven after a van richter party, got home, and stuck that death and
horror, inc. c.d. into their player. perhaps, "why the hell did i even
TRY to win this?!"

It's a species indiginous to New York (specifically, Brooklyn). Small,
furry, smells like shit, and is generally obnoxious. Therefore, when
someone who has spent any amount of time in New York calls you a mook,
you know you've just been insulted.

(resisting temptation to say "it means no one does more for you")
Gotta disagree with you... personally, I think that The Fair Sex and PNE
suck. Like, really badly. Same with Testify. But I like Seilwolf and DHI
lots. Different streaks for different freaks, etc., etc...

It's also a character class in Wizardy 6, Bane of the Cosmic Forge.

It is a term someone in the music industry uses to descibe someone else
in the industry who is a fucking idiot. We in SMG found it most usefull
on our three-month Hell Bus Ride with GK. In leiu of more flowery and
descriptive language.

You could at least learn how to quote, so people will have a clue as to
what you're talking about. And were 30 messages like this really
necessary? Looks like the whole spamfest could have gone into one
single message. You're doing your label (and the bands on it) a lot of
harm with this nonsense.
Suddenly, all of those anti-goat-boy messages are starting to make
perfect sense.
WHAT?
What Club ?
Come on Paul, at least make this interesting.
That's funny Paul, I thought your beef was that I never wrote about
TFS in the first place.
And........
Please direct comments to the person you are attempting to flame.
We'll give you credit for trying, honestly.
What?
Hey, so they kicked the guy out of Van Halen, give 'em a break.
I really am trying here Paul, really I am. Sorry if this is a bit
boring folks. You can only work with what you're given.
YAWN.
I think we already established the contrary. I don't remember any
defense on your part Paul.
hhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmllllllllllllllllllllll,........[yawn]
I wouldn't expect you to follow what I do, but if you did, you'd
shut-up. What's with this Sammy Hagar thing anyway? I'm trying to find
some sort of hidden meaning or metaphoric content here Paul and it's
just not coming through.
I like to think of myself as an enterprising young man, but I am still
not a WE. Would this be Industrial Nation, the magazine that will not
take ad money from you? hmmmm...
