Capsule in the Press

"Capsule's albums cost between $5 and $9, and for that price you get access to an album "capsule" -an MP3 plus artwork etc.-that you can download as many times as you want, from any computer. In a first, by my reckoning, they also display their royalty rates on their Web site: a $3.20 artist payout on the $5 albums, $6.40 payout on the $9 ones, allowing you to easily support local artists for the price of a beer. And unlike almost everybody else in the online music world, Capsule sells full albums only, which is nice to see at a time when we seem to always be within arm's reach of the net's giant jukebox." - Shane Sinnott Nov. 15, 2007 - Montreal Mirror: The Load Down [pdf] "[Hamza Kubba is] an enterprising Iraqi-born Plateau stud [who] first arrived in Montreal by way of the United Arab Emirates at age 16 to study at McGill. Having laboured in the field of Web site development "for the past eight years or so," last fall, Hamza and his Brooklyn-based business partner Andreas Blachere decided it was time to make their mark on the Montreal music scene by launching Capsule Records, an online music distributor currently signing up local bands for the purpose of getting their music out to the world "without their having to go through 2,000 middlemen just to do it". - Chris Barry Feb. 15, 2007 - Montreal Mirror: Selling Albums for all [pdf] "Hamza Kubba loves albums. To him, they are single works of art with a beginning, middle and end, which should be appreciated the whole way through. The iTunes model of buying individual songs, he says, is killing the whole idea of the record." - Roberto Rocha Montreal Gazette - Bringing the album back from the song download grave [pdf] |
