The selection and waiting times for digital releases are horrendous.. how do they expect people to buy music if it is not available?
Isnt the whole selling point of digital downloads conveinience and speed? Then people wonder why releases show up in pirate networks/on pirate sites. If people are not given the opportunity to buy the music they are waiting for easily...seems like a screwed up business model to me.
This has been out for over 6 months, why is there no digital download on beatspace? There is no way to download it directly from Osom either.
then people complain about not selling albums..I dont get it...go with the times, accept digital media..... the cd is dead live with it..
I would have impulsively bought 10 albums over the last 2 days, I couldnt find what I want. Now I have lost interest.
I think its insulting to well meaning people who are actually willing to buy the music although they may already have the release since ... well...before release
Artists, labels, what is the deal here?
If people have so much money they dont want anymore they can give me some. PM me for my account details.

Yep, I buy tens time less than I could because such issues and probably a few more.

As far as I know, they ventured into the digital domain just a few months ago which might help explain why this release in particular isn't available as digital download.

Ah well I just ended up ordering a bunch of cds on Beatspace afterall...guess the strategy of making digital downloads a uncomfortable as possible works if you want to sell cds
Wouldnt it be nice to be able to download the album immediatly while waiting for everything to arrive in the mail?

I got braincrewz and Jupiter toad stool off beatspace right when they came out, I think.

The Bandcamp interface is a bit clunky if you are buying more than one release. Luckily some of these are up on Juno if you don't mind paying ~$13 for lossless files (which is way more reasonable than Beatport's price gouging).
