I take it that by "social websites" you mean Facebook, I let someone talk me into that too, I have heard from a few people I went to university with etc waaaaaay back so it hasn't been a complete waste of time but it's highly over-rated. It is quite funny though how many people want to add me as a "friend" even though we never spoke before and aren't ever likely to start to! A whole new set of etiquette dilemmas right there...
i have some more material being released (fingers crossed!) in dec ,which is on a free netlabel.the first album was supposed to be released on a label my friend is starting up but whether he'll actually get it going and whether im really happy enough with it to put it out is another matter!
Good luck for your album release! I've a work colleague - (coincidentally another Gemini) - who'se got a passion for drum n' bass, perhaps I'll tell him to check it out (and I can look as though I have an idea of what's going on in the world!)
As for differing styles, surely that's not a bad thing to be able to diversify. So many bands seem to be releasing almost exactly the same song over and over and everything is so samey, surely there is more durability for an artist who isn't afraid to change occasionally. This reminds me of one of my favourite artists - Mike Patton from Faith No More, if you've heard of him. Most of the stuff he does is phenomenal, some is just plain strange but he is legendary for his versatility and even if every listener doesn't like everything he has done there is more likelihood of more people liking something. A lot of Gemini's create alter ego's to express different facets or styles, maybe you could treat your musical releases that way?
