Well, "demo deals" died right around the time of the Napster boom & the first big round of firings at Warner...and getting anything beyond a spartan recording budget is next to impossible for most signed artists...I don't think a lot of artists are really thinking along the lines of "how about we hire an arranger and do some orchestral dates on this stuff?"...and you can't take chances on the label's dime if even the stuff that SHOULD sell isn't selling (and everybody at the label who would stick their necks out for you in a good year is scared of losing their jobs)...no: steady, good business has nothing to do with the production and popularization of great music and innovation and things like that...
