BLACK LABEL EMPIRE "NOMA Rejection Letter" www.blacklabelempire.com "NOMA Rejection Letter" From: "NOMA Music" To: "Michael J. Cox" Subject: NOMA Music Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 14:46:32 -0800 Mr. Cox: Your check is being sent out today. Here are the reasons why we cannot do anything with these songs: 1.We did not find any the material to have any hooks. All of the songs we license that are rock oriented have catchy melodies. 2.The material is also old school. In the past it would have sounded current, but not in todays enviornment. You need to upgrade to a contemporary sound in order to be successful. 3.Also, we found the recordings to be muddied. Probably due to the studio you used. We can only license songs that are broadcast quality as we provide music to major projects. We will leave the door open for future submissions. Keep in mind that our comments are aimed at assisting you in coming up with a more marketable product. This is based on over 20 years in the business, over 18 platinum album awards, and a lot of success with placing music in TV, film, commercials, etc. Best of luck in your endeavors. Mike
