http://jesu.bandcamp.com/album/jesu-picture-disc-mix-unreleased-original-vision

This is the master that was NOT used for what became the Picture Disc Mix, this was intended to be the master, but was shelved last minute; this master was intentionally sampled at a higher rate, so as to achieve a 'pop' sound / production, unlike the mix to be found on the 'actual' jesu Self Titled, a move which would be an absolute travesty for some! And a move that was decided against at the last minute, so the master was resampled back to the original pitch and sent to be pressed as the Picture Disc. So, this master is unreleased, and available here for the first time, the 'actual' Picture Disc master, is also available here at Bandcamp.

The Picture Disc of the Self Titled Jesu album, was remixed entirely for the LTD ED Picture Disc version (1000 copies), released in 2006. An Alternative mix with quite significant differences to the original album mix; the concept was to remix it more 'cleanly', due to the original mix containing a lot of distortion. There are still clicks, etc in this mix though due to the nature of the original recording. Here, the album is now remastered in 2012, since the original Picture Disc master was intentionally mastered flat.

The catalyst for this entire remix of the album was the pressing plant who were to cut and press the picture disc - with the original master of the S/T, they claimed the original was to max'ed out and distorted to be cut to an picture disc! I was, at the time, intrigued by the concept of a cleaner, and even 'poppier' mix of this album, anyway, so set about cleaning the the thing up. Hence the re-sampled higher speed version; attempting to go even further with this 'pop' concept.
For the record, my personal favourite mix of this album IS the original mix, which is known, universally, as the debut jesu album 'S/T', the mix that made it to CD/Vinyl, etc, etc.

http://drokk.bandcamp.com - A Portishead bloke and a soundtracks bloke take on JUDGE DREDD with Carpenter-esque synth stylings. In contention for album of the year. Yes, I already talked about this one in the free Bandcamp thread and I wasn't supposed to.

http://pilotpriest.bandcamp.com/ - A more danceable take on 80s-style synth soundtracks. Jury's out on it but it's only a buck.

http://worstward.bandcamp.com - Steven R. Smith/Ulaan Kohl/Halaa Strana et al. TABLELANDS is one of the best works of the new century.

http://forleejacksoninspace.bandcamp.com/

Surprised Ned hasn't posted this here already. 96 space rock/psych/electronic/experimental/what-have-you tracks from folks like Roy Montgomery, Windy and Carl, ST37, Primordial Undermind, Subarachnoid Space, et al. Thirty bucks for I don't know how many hours of music. This was conceived as a tribute recording to critic/fan/good egg Lee Jackson, who died earlier this year at a very young age.

Disclaimer, The Roswell Incident (featuring the full original lineup of myself and Elvis Telecom) is on the album. Money from the sales price goes to funding ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) research.

Ha, I'd missed the thread until now!

It's just under twelve hours of music.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? #12hours

Wait. This isn't Twitter...

Hahah.

And I am so not kidding.

I know right? So classic.

those grunge jerks ruined EVERYTHING

I just heard a bunch old time jazz dudes sitting around grumbling about that very thing

Christ. 's albums are available on bandcamp for dirt cheap. The guy that's associated w/boards of canada. some good tracks in there

Link for the previous post: http://christmusic.bandcamp.com/

Mogwai-esque post-rock from Vietnam: http://timekeeper.bandcamp.com

LOVE this band. Live they're more violent than on the album, which I think is the way I like things, in general

http://bellows.bandcamp.com/album/as-if-to-say-i-hate-daylight

also every once in a while he puts up stuff to DL for $ because he is in college and poor.

http://humankindnessoverflowing.bandcamp.com/album/eskimeaux

Good friends wrapping up their first tour in DC as we speak;

A portion of proceeds go to charity...

"For the $5 dollars you will spend on this album $2.50 will provide 5 meals for those in need through Philabundance. $1.50 will go directly to the artist and the other $1.50 will go to future funding of charitable projects with HKO. Additional payment is sincerely appreciated and is distributed in the same ratio."

Talking last weekend to someone about DROKK, and on a similar Carpenter/etc tip he recommended Matthew Akers' The Elders Of New Detroit:

Hawkeyes! Canadian psychedelic doom that just pile riff upon riff upon riff until you get crushed.

Anyone else suddenly getting loads of emails from Bandcamp along the lines of "New album from Arovane"? Started getting them this week with no recollection of ever having signed up to or bought anything from the site.

Not that I can see; just the 2-3 new releases a week from R. Stevie Moore (SLOW DOWN DUDE JESUS)

My buddy Sam made this analog synth record that I think is lovely

was going to post this on the psych/drone thread but suspected it would be ripped apart for it being too close to brmc, warlocks, dead meadows etc, albeit in a more ramshackle, self produced, jam band kinda groove.
but given this thread has been revived ..
i have listened to this album more this week than anything else, and enjoy it more with each spin.

oh, and i seriously love the artwork as well.

I'm into Night Burger right now

http://nightburger.bandcamp.com/album/burnin-fast

http://canary-records.bandcamp.com

smooth age, from that night burger comp, is very cool. i like the faraway tribal drums and overall menacing vibe. good recommendation.

this is a REALLY good ambient/noise album:

I'm waiting for Finders Keepers to update their page with deadstock and whatnot; it's 20 minutes late and I am grown antsy

Boris continuing to do the business with the archival stuff, including among other things today just a whole album from 2009 that had never surfaced before. With Kurihara on it.

https://boris.bandcamp.com/album/new-album-2009

bought the new flock of dimes + the really from album (which i haven't heard but just from people describing it it sounds exactly like my shit, can't lose)

Here are my picks for today:

Osheyack & Nahash - Club Apathy

DJ Hank x DJ Orange Julius - OJ and Henny
https://djorangejulius.bandcamp.com/album/oj-and-henny
In-the-pocket 160 bpm club tracks

And for my own shameless plug, this band Lovely Socialite has been doing a project where they pick a scale + bpm and all record parts without hearing each other. Then each member produces a track using the stems. They invited me to contribute to a track to this one, so it's somewhere in-between a remix and an original, it was fun:
https://lovelysocialitemusic.bandcamp.com/album/quarantine-loops-vol-2

That DJ Delish is very much in my cart.

Seems downloading an album in the app is now an option on iOS

Yup, update released over the past couple of days. Excellent development!

Indeed

WHAAAAAT

This is awesome and long overdue

On Android too now - upodate overnight.

how big is your collection on Bandcamp?

I've apparently made 366 purchases and my collection is 363 (guess some things were taken down? idk)

979

306

Damn Calstars!

Easy to get caught up in the “buy this entire artists / labels discography for $1”

LA MONTE YOUNG IS ON BANDCAMP

8013

1017 as of tonight but growing tomorrow.

really wish there was a better way to organize your collection

I've bought about 2500 items, but with about another 5500 items in my wantlist, mine'd be closer to the number in Ned's if I could afford it

I knew Ned’s number was going to shame us all

OTM!

Can heartily recommend subscribing to Kevin Drumm, you'll get enough drone to last your lifetime.

want to recommend the latest release by the narcotix, which is soooo good. they were featured on bandcamp daily last week: https://daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-day/the-narcotix-mommy-issues-review

my label keeps 82% of bandcamp revenue, including on bandcamp day, and the remaining 18% goes towards my debt i will never pay off :-)

— Austra⁷ (@austratalks) July 20, 2021

That would depend on the label, sadly.

Seems high

I doubt Shields has the same deal.

Wouldn't this be a "signed digital rights over to a label" issue rather than a Bandcamp one per se?

Yeah that's what it reads like, or that it was built into the label deal from the start.

Yes, bandcamp would have nothing to do with how the revenue is split up

She talks more about things here:

i released hirudin almost a year ago and it's streamed on spotify around 4 million times. based on a payout of $0.0038 per stream and taking into account my deal with my label, i've earned around $2662.38, all of which goes to my label debt, meaning i've pocketed $0.

— Austra⁷ (@austratalks) July 20, 2021

So 20% is supposed to go to publishing? This shit is so confusing and everyone does it differently. I recently spent a lot of time looking into whether I should be getting any streaming revenue for a song that I produced for another artist, and in the end the answer I came up with is 'no', unless you specifically strike a deal that includes it. But since I do have half the publishing, it seems like I should be getting half of 20%, but I've never been able to make that happen.

Yeah I'm aware it's not Bandcamp's fault, just interested in what a typical digital sales revenue split looks like for artists. Name and shame maybe.

Self-plug: Got two new releases out today on my label.

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2784114773_10.jpg

Reels is a duo album by pianist Matthew Shipp and drummer Whit Dickey. They've been playing together off and on for over 30 years, in the David S. Ware Quartet, Shipp's own trio, and with saxophonist Ivo Perelman, but this is only their second duo session. It's beautiful. Get it.

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3479908077_16.jpg

Echolocation is a collaboration between cornet player Graham Haynes and electronic musician Submerged. If you like early '00s Techno Animal or stuff on the Electric Ladyland and Macro Dub Infection compilations, or music on the WordSound label, you'll like this. Very heavy beats, piercing horn, warped sounds to dive into and swim around in. Get it.
