This whole thread certainly reveals a lot about the range of issues that exist around independent musicians and their attempts to get somewhere with their ambitions. The fact that something like Blaze Trak exists tells us how desperate people can be to make that vital connection to the right person in the right place on the right day, presumably with the moon in the correct quarter.

The simple fact is that so few real opportunuties exist that a service offered to anybody who can pay is a waste of money - even if a few people get something from it, all that proves is that talent and hard work pay off, not that Blaze Trak have anything to offer.

It will be interesting to see if they respond to Brian's suggestion (although, I'm not sure what it would prove) - I still very much doubt it would convince someone like to use the service offered, not because I would doubt Brian's judgement (from what I have read at JPF over the years, that is not open to question) but just because the whole idea as outlined by Blaze Trak just sounds like every other scam out there.
