Someone made a donation to engeo today on Jamendo.

I must say, I was quite touched at someone doing that. Truthfully, engeo doesn't get that much feedback about our stuff. We don't expect much because we don't do any promotional stuff and we never do gigs. But we do see people downloading our stuff and occasionally buying it or licensing it and it does make us feel good.

But even though we get a fair number of downloads, and the odd sale on iTunes or whatever, people very rarely contact us. Some guys in Korea made a music video for one of our songs for a film competition. That was really cool. But we're not really inundated with people telling us how good/bad we are.

Somehow, someone making a donation rather than buying the album seems to be quite a strong communication for us. I often worry that people on iTunes don't realise that they are really giving a donation when they buy our stuff because it is free elsewhere. Having someone download it, then give us money and a message anyway really warms my heart.

So, here is a warm thanks to Timothy D' who was the first person to do it. Cheers to you good sir and thank you from engeo.
