There has been some discussion within Pause and externally about some of our recent releases which had already been available elsewhere. We wanted to fill you guys in in our own reasoning behind the re-releasing of albums like 4mat’s “Decades”, Zan-zan-zawa-veia’s “N0De-claw” and Peer’s “Dances”. Our primary goal at Pause is to help spread the good word of chipmusic. Over the last three years we hope that we’ve become synonymous with a certain level of quality, and we are very grateful to all of you for your continued support and for helping to make Pause a place where people keep coming back to hear great new stuff.

When we re-release material, we’re hoping to increase the viewership of music we feel is awesome and deserves to be heard by the masses. In most cases the music had prior only been released on a musician’s homepage, and perhaps isn’t receiving as much attention as it could be. We hope to increase the awareness of this great music by using our position of relative popularity for the greater good. We feel it’s a win-win, and hopefully you guys do too.

We’d love to hear how you, the fans, feel about this practice, so feel free to shoot us an e-mail or leave a comment.
