[Mascodagama]

My haul:

Kavus Torabi - The Sentinel
Klava - Polku
Harri Kuusijärvi Koutus - Music For A Family Picnic
Juha Kujanpää - Kivenpyörittäjä - Tales and Travels [Thanks, AdventAlan, for the tip. Eclipse is one of my favourite Finnish labels but I didn't know this one.]
Schnellertollermeier - X
Gösta Berlings Saga - Glue Works
Djam Karet - Live At Orion
Upsilon Acrux - Sun Square Dialect
Upsilon Acrux - The Last Pirates of Upsilon
Hughscore - Delta Flora
Zevious - Passing Through The Wall

I would particularly recommend the Klava album if you like the sound of some brass-heavy psyched out Finnish retro-prog:

It's groovy.

[NogbadTheBad]

Nice haul! The Schnellertollermeier, Upsilon Acrux, Zevious and Hughscore are excellent.

[mkeneally]

Looks like a few subscription drops landed tonight as well which is a cool bonus.

[moecurlythanu]

Tried to download my earlier Kant Freud Kafka purchase, got this: Error 503 first byte timeout

Never saw that one before, that I can remember.

Finally got them down. According to Trader's Little Helper, they're corrupted. (All of them.) I burned them anyway for Road Food, and they seem to be fine. I have the actual discs coming, so it doesn't matter, but it is odd.

[Dave (in MA)]

Picked up 4 Markus Reuter releases I've been procrastinating on,

Sultry Kiss Down Under
FACE
Quit Being So Gray
Sultry Kissing Lounge

No trouble with the site whatsoever.

I grabbed a bunch of albums from BC today. Some newer ones and a lot that were on my wishlist for too long:


Stop Motion Orchestra - Instant everything

Wow, really enjoying this one. What kept me so long? Great Cardiacs cover on it too.

[Mascodagama]

Wow, really enjoying this one. What kept me so long? Great Cardiacs cover on it too.

Guessing you already had their more recent album Lightworks? Which is really great.

[Mascodagama]

Nice haul! The Schnellertollermeier, Upsilon Acrux, Zevious and Hughscore are excellent.

I've got plenty to tuck into! And feeling quite pleased with myself that my Zevious and Upsilon album collections are now complete.

[thedunno]

Guessing you already had their more recent album Lightworks? Which is really great.

Nope. Lightworks is still in my wishlist.

[Mascodagama]

Nope. Lightworks is still in my wishlist.

A treat is in store when you get it, I reckon.

Picked up the Klava, based on the shared like for Madeleine - just listening now, & enjoying very much!

[progman1975]

My Haul:
Adrian Belew - Side 4 Live(2007)
Drew Schlesinger/David Torn - Summer Synthesis(1978)

[progman1975]

Anyone heard the final stats from yesterday. I read with 6 hrs left, they hit 3 million

[NogbadTheBad]

I've got plenty to tuck into! And feeling quite pleased with myself that my Zevious and Upsilon album collections are now complete.

I'd already filled both of those out, it was quite easy to select a few that had been on my wishlist for ages.

[Baribrotzer]

Not a ton of stuff:

All of Anna Meredith's catalog, barring [I]Fibs[I] - she had a US tour scheduled and starting, then most of it got canceled. She needs the money.
Simon Steensland's A Farewell to Brains

[Mascodagama]

Picked up the Klava, based on the shared like for Madeleine - just listening now, & enjoying very much!

Pleased to hear it. You've previously turned me on to some good things...Bal Des Boiteux springs to mind.

EDIT: Actually that one might have been alanterrill, but the principle holds.

[polmico]

Picked up 3-4 albums from Cheer Accident (indeed, I don’t know which ones), the last Anglagard album and Kavus’ single.

[interbellum]

Richard Barbieri has some new/old stuff: https://richardbarbieri.bandcamp.com...t-future-tense

Barbieri-related: a new EP by GRICE: https://hungersleeprecords.bandcamp....t-forest-vol-1

[interbellum]

Barbieri's brother in Japan etc. releases The Extinct Suite on limited LP: https://stevejansen.bandcamp.com/alb...dor-lp-edition

Steve Jansen’s ‘The Extinct Suite/Corridor’ limited vinyl LP edition is now ready to preorder from Bandcamp. Combining material from 2 solo albums onto 4 sides of 180g black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve incorporating all of the original artwork. Effectively two albums for the price of one. First 50 copies come signed. Release date intended May 11 (subject to conditions brought about by C-19)

[TheH]

Stumbeld over this one by Chance:

Weird mix of japanese traditional with African Groove and Funk

Can you download your BC albums to your phone a la Spotify (temporarily) if you want? How do I play these albums I have bought in my car via my Samsung?

[Dave (in MA)]

You can download bandcamp purchases permanently. Whether you or your phone is able to deal with .zip files, I have no idea, but I downloaded them, unzipped them and stuck 'em on a microSD card that I can use in the car or wherever without streaming, which I don't do.

[Dave (in MA)]

Picked up 4 Markus Reuter releases I've been procrastinating on,

Sultry Kiss Down Under
FACE
Quit Being So Gray
Sultry Kissing Lounge

No trouble with the site whatsoever.

I have to say, FACE is fantastic, and the other 3 are not unlike Fripp's Soundscapes, only more in-your-face.

Not only can you download them permanently they are completely DRM free and you can download lossless FLAC files if you like. Many artists offer high resolution FLACs even (although Bandcamp doesn't differentiate them from CD quality downloads so it's usually a surprise). My Bandcamp music folder is now just over 100 GB of FLACs. By far my favorite place to purchase digital music (and most of the time you can even buy the CD and download the album right away).
