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:

http://matthewakers.bandcamp.com/album/the-elders-of-new-detroit

that sounds cool. Thanks!

http://randomchild.bandcamp.com/album/trials

M0AR BRO-HYPE. Random Child's 3rd album. Metal ahead. 5 buxx0r

Because Shooting Guns' "Down and Out in Detroit" 7" has sold out they've made the track available as a name-your-price:

friends of mine + i helped out a little with the recording of this one. modest mouse/mountain goats influenced fun indy pop stuff. i really really love this record:

is anyone else doing the social media thing they have going?

sort of

passively, then?

or thereabouts

Multi-split single-ish EP thing from Small Wonder, Bellows n Eskimeaux

i don't think i've mentioned saadi. saadi.

http://saadinyc.bandcamp.com/

(dodecahedron from clotheslines was the first track that really grabbed me, if you want a place to start)

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

http://hawkeyes.bandcamp.com/

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

http://vaald.bandcamp.com/album/terminals

Collaborative album btw Small Wonder and Sharpless:

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:
http://droneclone.bandcamp.com/album/droneclone

an old pal's album from a few years back is up on bandcamp now
winter-vacation.bandcamp.com/album/blue-coaching
he's great

http://winter-vacation.bandcamp.com/album/blue-coaching

If you don't have Music of Morocco, I think it's worth the $ and the dl comes with a pdf that is excellent reading

Had no idea Soundway was on Bandcamp! I just tweeted a list of 10 recommended titles. (I'm @burn_amb on Twitter.)

i just followed you :) the cumbia comp never gets old. none of their stuff gets old for me tbh

nice, i remember really having to dig for those Ghana Soundz comps in the cd era

https://cathnor.bandcamp.com/album/boring-embroidery

you like AMM? this is AMM-like

The ACLU thing was a nice success, they raised over a $mil.

I forgot to mention this, which also came out yesterday -- Finnish band who have evolved from shoegaze/space rock/Kosmische to full-on psych prog. Additionally, they also made their 2014 album Ujubasajuba Name your Price available, and their first album is free.

https://kaironirse.bandcamp.com/album/ruination

They're great, btw, I've pre-ordered (physical copies of) Ruination and Ujubasajuba already.

can rec a lot of good proggy stuff if anyone cares. it's a tad more expensive though

― frogbs

DO IT!

"White Rose" is like Skittles lightly laced with psychedelics. Love this.

https://moonduo.bandcamp.com/track/white-rose

The ACLU thing was a nice success, they raised over a $mil.

People bought for over one million worth of music that day but ACLU is "only" getting 12% of that, the rest still goes to the artists, except for the ones who also decided to give their share that day (which amounts to about 400 labels/artists, so it's not negligible).

ooh new Ondatrópica album coming on Soundway. The three tracks already available are tremendous.

New Necks - Unfold. In sort of Popol Miles mode.

The FLAC is 24bit, which is nice.

That's THE Necks.

https://glisteningexamples.bandcamp.com/album/the-pilgrim

^^^ that is incredible

https://noticerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/excess-of-vision-unreleased-recordings-2005-2014

Joseph Clayton Mills has been doing fantastic stuff with Haptic, and the recent collaboration with Marvin Tate (The Process) is reallly good.

Been really enjoying 'modulus' by exm over the last few days:

https://touched.bandcamp.com/album/modulus

Recommended if you like the melodic end of post-Confield Autechre.

Proceeds go to Macmillan Cancer Support too!

Charalambides have a Bandcamp page - re-release of YIH is on there...

I'm gonna pimp my friend's Bandcamp album here since few people are interested in clicking on the thread I created:

I interviewed pianist Jason Moran about why he releases music directly to Bandcamp now, after being signed to Blue Note for almost 20 years, and why he charges I interviewed pianist Jason Moran about why he releases music directly to Bandcamp now, after being signed to Blue Note for almost 20 years, and why he charges $20 an album0 an album.

Anything you buy on Bandcamp today is awesome.

Matmos 2003 tour only CD-R: https://matmos.bandcamp.com

Bought three things today:

New Metal by Multiple Man, a pair of Australian twins making EBM/industrial that they describe as "BURNING CHROME, CROSS CONTINENTAL HI-NRG, FIRM HANDSHAKE ELECTRONIC BODY MUSIC" (capitalization in original; that "FIRM HANDSHAKE" cracks me up). Highly recommended if you're in a Front 242/early Nitzer Ebb mood like I seem to be a lot lately.
https://dkarecords.bandcamp.com/album/new-metal

Discipline Is Reward Enough (2017 Version) by Severe Illusion, a Swedish EBM/industrial duo whose albums are name-your-price. (I paid 40 SEK, about $5, each for this one and their other full-length, No More Alive Than You Deserve.) Noisy, aggressive stuff like a shoutier, more fuzzed-out Nitzer Ebb or a slightly more caveman-ish Skinny Puppy.
https://severeillusion.bandcamp.com/album/discipline-is-reward-enough-2017-edition
https://severeillusion.bandcamp.com/album/no-more-alive-than-you-deserve

gonna get the new albums by The Bran Flakes (https://branflakes.bandcamp.com/releases) and Nmesh (https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pharma) today

https://leegamble.bandcamp.com/album/lee-gamble-mnestic-pressure-hdbcd037

if you dig "Perlence" by Autechre...

https://uiqmusic.bandcamp.com/album/glasz-uiq0005

posted the wrong link, sorry. meant to post Glasz (UIQ0005) by Lanark Artefax

https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/hk
HKE’s classic ambient vaporwave album HK

I just did my first "sure, fuck it, why not" full-discography-on-bandcamp purchase - I was gonna buy an album for, like, 7 euros, and the label was like "you want our whole catalog? half off, 20 euros" and I figured "I bet I was gonna buy at least three more of your records anyway"

welcome to collection, weird awesome russian ambient label that put out this awesome comp

https://pantheophania.bandcamp.com/album/lunar-devotion

was gonna buy the entire Orange Milk catalogue when it was 90% off but I didn't pull the trigger and now the price doubled!!!

This is slaying me today - members of Come, Oneida, and Yo La Tengo in instrumental noise-rock trio glory.

I like Deaf Radio and Lord 13 from Greece too.

https://deafradio.bandcamp.com/

https://lord13.bandcamp.com/

'the band whose name is a symbol' are some prime cosmonauts from Canada.

https://thebandwhosenameisasymbol.bandcamp.com/

Ohlm from Louisville is a pretty cool prog/post metal instrumental band.

https://ohlm.bandcamp.com/

Music Hates You was from the metal scene in Athens, GA. They got a cool mix of punk, metal and hardcore. Kinda reminds me of a southern rock version of "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth".

https://crowdedhead.bandcamp.com/album/where-did-all-this-dirt-come-from

thanks for the Charnel Ground link, Ray. really enjoyed it yesterday

Good selection of a couple of recent releases to check out:
https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2018/04/26/bandcamping-spring-2018/

Please mention Bandcamp pages that have RSD deals on today.

Medical Records is doing 40% off.

This sounds way too good to be true, from an artist pov:

https://daily.bandcamp.com/2019/04/17/create-vinyl-with-bandcamp/

Wonder what the costs/thresholds will be, and if they can possibly keep up with demand?

(also possibly bad in the 'wasting physical resources' sense, but probably a drop in the bucket?)

G.S. Schray - First Appearance - https://gsschray.bandcamp.com/album/first-appearance

saw mention of this on the pitchfork "great records you might have missed in q1 2019" list, but didn't check it out 'til now. holy mother of god is it good, incredible atmosphere. talk talk drums, durutii guitars--it's obv not on that level but it's as absorbing a headphones listen as i've heard in a long while

akron power!!!

reminds me of Lanterna
love it

It’s from last year, but the Young Scum s/t is a very pleasant slice of neo-mope pop indie, a la Smiths.

https://kin-ship.bandcamp.com/album/uzun-havalar
I'm only three tracks in but this is enchanting

thoughts?

Bandcamp Record Store in Oakland

Greetings!

We recently opened a record shop and performance space, and hope you’ll come visit. We’re at 1901 Broadway in Oakland, California (right by the 19th Street BART station), and open Monday-Friday from 12pm-7pm.

The space features a selection of records that showcase the diversity and design of the more than five million albums available on Bandcamp, and we host free, all-ages shows and events (we’re launching a video series around those performances a little later this year).

If you’re heading our way and would like to get on our events mailing list, sign up here.

Hope to see you soon!

I popped in there last month, it’s kinda neat. Only a couple/few dozen titles for sale. I left right away because I didn’t want to talk to the salespeople.

lotta international titles iirc

love this -
