Dead souls - what is it?

Term for when an electronic music producer / or musician in general releases a tune on their own digital label that no-one buys, listens too or gives a s*** about just so they can say they have a release. This can be accidental if this only happens with one release. If however they release scores of tunes in this way they are clearly either:

(i) Trying to counterfeit reputation ie. trying to mislead people of their true standing in the game to get bookings / further releases

(ii) Trying to be counterfeit status among their contemporaries

(iii) Tragically deluded.

Dead souls - what does it mean?

Song by English Post-Punk band Joy Division from their Licht und Blindheit EP as well as at least one of their greatest hits albums. The song gained huge popularity when Nine Inch Nails did an amazing cover of it for the soundtrack to the 1994 movie The Crow.

Someone take these dreams away
that point me to another day.
A Duel of personalities
that stretch all true realities.
-From Dead Souls by Joy Division and later covered by NIN

RIP Ian Curtis and Brandon Lee
and thank you Trent Reznor.
