Thread for awesome stuff on Bandcamp that costs money but is still awesome

The 3 Chairs compilation was my grab. So much goodness, hours of groove.
https://3chairsdetroit.bandcamp.com/album/3-chairs-collection-1997-2013

was going to grab the 3 chairs comp but looks like it's gone now?
hopefully it'll be available again at some point.

Check this out I think it’s awesome https://musicforkeyboards.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-keyboards-vol-vi

Now banned in China?

hey scanner darkly it looks like it’s on rick wilhite’s page now: https://rickwilhite.bandcamp.com/album/3-chairs-collection-1997-2013

awesome, thank you!

i'm curious now what happens when an album you purchased is removed from bandcamp - i guess it just disappears?
i mostly use the sonos app to listen but always make sure to download files as well

Yeah, if you haven't downloaded the files then I think you're out of luck.

shit, I didn't know that was a thing that happened!

on Amazon Music, if you buy a digital album and the album then gets removed from their library, you still remain access to the streaming digital media, and can still download it (you just can't buy or access the album if you never had previously).

if Bandcamp shit outright disappears, I have a lot of downloading to do to my Google Drive. not sure how they can get away with that since they advertise you getting free digital access to the music along with your mp3s/FLACs, which implies some level of permanency.

Bandcamp Friday! I plugged ilkae on here previously but he has a new album Questionable Casino out for $5 and the complete discography is now $12.20.

If any ilxors are into woozy electronic/wistful idm/chiptunes gone haywire & would like to get in touch then I'll buy them a copy of the full discog, or just the album if you prefer: ilxmail me yr email address today/this weekend.

If you do it in the next 12 hours (by approx 1am UK time tonight) I can buy it while it's still Bandcamp Friday for an extra glow of satisfaction.

(Probably unnecessary disclaimer: offer good for max 3 requests, roughly first come first served but entirely at my discretion; I reserve the right not to do this if the price goes up, if something very expensive happens to me in the next 12 hours, or if I just don't feel like it any more - although it is fully my intention to feel like it and you can call me rude names on ilx for the next week if I don't)

Considering the intent behind Bandcamp Friday and how it ensures more money in the pockets of artists it seems churlish to complain about anything, but... I'm not the biggest fan of how it has already re-aligned the release calendar to be a metric shit-ton of releases once a month, rather than being more spread out.

Again, I'm all for it, but it's easier for me to buy more music when it's more spread out and it's not as easy to give my wallet one huge hit once a month.

oh here we GO

lol, I'm still spending a fair bit today! I just wish it wasn't a once a month thing where we can make sure artists get a bigger cut, is all! I'd rather do it every week!

attention Legendary Pink Dots fans:

https://legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com/album/four-days-the-30th-anniversary-remastered-expanded

I totally agree, I wish they would just halve or reduce their revenue share overall during the pandemic. What it's done to the release cycle, and to artists feeling like they're on a monthly schedule, is really a bummer.

this bandcamp friday marks 2 months now that i haven't listened to the things i bought in february.

lol :(

My cart so far:

Slant (Korean hardcore band), Vain Attempt EP and 1 LP
ASC, An Increase in Entropy EP (throwback drum 'n' bass)
D-Town Brass, Ur and Demiurge
Earthless, Live in the Mojave Desert Vol. 1 (it's a multi-artist series, other volumes are by other bands, five in all)
Milford Graves/Jason Moran, Live at Big Ears

shameless plug — here's a new project I'm involved with featuring members of dalek, goes cube, etc. kind of a moody electronic shoegaze thing: https://commoncruelty.bandcamp.com/

I was at one of those Big Ears performances.

Loscil and Underground Lovers buys for sure, then perusing Mark Eitzel / AMC live stuff, then The Apartments, Braids, and Celer pages to see if anything else jumps out.

Can't recommend The Apartments' _In and Out of the Light_ highly enough. Favorite 2020 release. Melancholy piano-led beauty.

I was at that Graves/Moran too, it was great.

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
https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/club-apathy
(insane

Facta - Blush
https://wisdomteethuk.bandcamp.com/album/blush
Beautiful UK electronic music

DJ Swisha, Niyr & Kanyon - What's Stopping You From Doing This?
https://djswisha.bandcamp.com/album/whats-stopping-you-from-doing-this
(breaks galore)

DJ Delish - TOOLSHED
https://djdelish.bandcamp.com/album/toolshed
(Ballroom club tools)

Nabalayo x NKC
https://eventhestrong.bandcamp.com/album/mwizi
Collab between a Kenyan vocalist/producer and a UK (?) producer

Patrick Belega - Blutt
https://patrickbelega.bandcamp.com/album/blutt
Still need to check out this ambient cello + electronics record on PAN

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.

New single out on my label today: Graham Haynes vs Submerged - Flashtower/Istanbul Gran Prix. Cornet and electronics. Full album coming in July.

And it’s Bandcamp Friday too

new sam prekop ep!!

https://samprekop.bandcamp.com/album/in-away

Finally did a big Dark Entries splurge for what hopefully isn't actually the last Bandcamp Friday- Dax Pierson, Jasmine Infiniti, the restocked Solid Space LP, and their reissue of Severed Heads' Come Visit the Big Bigot. All fucking incredible, but you probably didn't need me to tell you that

new sam prekop ep!!

https://samprekop.bandcamp.com/album/in-away
