The best thing to do for promotions, is probably to get the word out to less casual Del Amitri fans that may enjoy the stuff. The converted and dedicated will probably comprise most of the units sold, as he tends to cater to deep and meaningful listeners, meaning that expecting to attract alot of the current mainstream top 40 listeners that like lightweight and generic stuff will be a challenge--ones that aren't already familiar with his past works, that is.
Now that the major label promotions (though Ryko does the best they can with their budgets) have lessened, word of mouth has to do the rest. I know that a few messageboards that I post at, there's DA and Justin fans, and perhaps if they aren't absolutely following what he's up to, they'd pick up a copy if reminded or made aware of the release.--when it comes out, of course. Had I not checked in here, I would have no idea that there was even an album on the horizon, nor would I have known about the songs at Mark Freegard's site.....
