Video message from me to our fanbase.

Thanks for the support to anyone that purchases it. If you bootleg it or simply don't care, that's cool too. Just thought I'd let you guys know that this is now out.

This release represents the end of an era for us. We're only recording songs fully in English from now on and our next album which we're working at the moment, will be our first full English-language album and the first release that will benefit from our new deal with a major label in North America.

You've made it farther than probably 99% of people who've ever picked up an instrument and tried to make their living from it. Congrats.

limp bizkit still blows, though.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Thanks.

Haha, I know Bizkit isn't everyone's cup of tea. I still maintain that if you replaced Durst with any other vocalist but kept all the songs exactly the same, everybody would love them. I guess it's hard to get past how much of a douche he is, but if you can get past that, there's a wealth of great songs there.

With the distribution for our next record I would say there's a good chance of that happening. Plus, with it being English language shops will not be able to file it under "World music" which has happened to us before and we fucking hate. We're about as far from "world music" as you can get, but because of there being languages other than English, apparently that makes it world music. ignorant motherfuckers.

you should buy it because you wuv me and I bring rays of sunshine and happiness and bunny rabbits to the world.

seriously though - if you like the music, buy it, that's common courtesy but i won't hold it against you if you choose not to.

i've heard your music on either Westwood or the after-show on radio 1 weekends where they play all types of jungle and greensleeves type reggae stuff.

tbh, i don't even buy my most sought after music, the best things in life are truly free

lol....fair enough.

 

[Bender]

is this a first for Swami's music publication, you are looking towards other formats than mp3 maybe?

 

[ARon]

Maybe I should listen to your music some day lol. Wondering why you already did a greatest hits, just to put an album out to go to your next deal or whats up?

1) 10 years of the band: 1999-2009

2) End of an era in that we're not making songs with Punjabi or Hindi lyrics anymore......only English-language from now on. We risk alienating our fanbase (some of our fans have already expressed their disappointment) but potentially gaining a much bigger one. That's always been our approach though with each subsequent album, only the stakes are much higher this time.

3) We didn't want to put the actual words Greatest Hits on there - but the label (in this case, EMI) insisted. If it helps them sell more, cool.

4) EMI didn't want to use our most recent music video to promote the last album as in their opinion it had been too long since the album came out, so they held onto the video and just started servicing it to the channels to promote THIS release.

5) It's good for new fans or casual fans who have only heard "the hits" so to speak. In some markets that we usually do quite well in, compilations are always big sellers compared to actual studio albums.

Those are the main reasons really.
