Thanks for the reply Dirk! Point noted on the background. It's been a bone of contention with us. I like it, my co-Founder less so but we will test it on the masses and get their feedback.
Regarding your other questions:
We have special access with A&R from Sony, Atlantic, Columbia, Warner Bros and more. We guarantee that if your music gets into the top 5 it will be heard by the most appropriate A&R person for that genre and feedback from them will be provided.
Exactly Saiana! The big record labels don't accept unsolicited material which leaves unsigned musicians totally stuck! Our process vets the poor quality material but gives the talented people a chance to be heard. Glad you 'get it'!
Blazetrak (if I'm not greatly mistaken) pays their professionals and celebrities for their participation on the site. We think doing this is debateable...
Our site is exclusively used by record label A&R contacts who are only using the site in order to find new talent for their respective labels. They have nothing to gain financially by using our site which gives our users peace of mind as they know that those reviewing their music are 100% committed to finding new acts.
