Music on Special Offer Thread?

Posted by: sjt on 14 December 2016

I am wondering if it would be legit to have a thread in here dedicated to music album downloads from legitimate retailers that are currently on special offer.

As an example I was just looking through the what are you listening to mega thread just now and came across the Melody Gardot record because someone was listening to it. I have wanted this for a while but it was always expensive (about 20 quid). On a whim I went over to a place I usually go to buy music downloads and by a blind stroke of luck it was on special offer at just over half price. Deluxe edition is cheaper than the standard edition! I bought it straight away.

So I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to posting albums that are on special offer at the moment with not-so-subtle hints as to where you could get them from, when the offer expires and how much is knocked off etc, so people could see instantly anything that was on special. It would certainly be a thread I would come back to often.

I did a search and couldn't find anything like this in the forum, but usually the searches on these forums are rubbish so this is not a guarantee!

There might need to be a few rules, e.g. the poster has no affiliation with the seller, only legitimate download shops / sites etc.

Just a thought still in the half-bakery...

For those of you who, like me, like their electronic music in a Berlin style, the label Syngate has a 20% discount offer on their Bandcamp site, code: sgxmas2017

It's valid until Christmas Eve.

P.S. If you're thinking of dipping a toe in the water, I'd recommend Michael Bruckner's Trees Of Olivanda and Trois Briques. The former tuneful. the latter atmospheric.

Thanks Nick, that is some collection of music on offer. I have to admit to being boggled by the choice there and my own lack of knowledge of many of the artists and their music.

I got seven in the end...but the metadata was a complete pain.

I have the same problem. I had to add basic metadata and convert to Flac. Wav 'per se' wouldn't play. Did you do anything different?

The Michael Chapman album '50' is s gem.

Sorry Andy, just back from family Star Wars trip. I think one album out of the seven had most of its metadata in the 24 bit WAV, the rest were blank. Annoying that the FLAC versions were only 16 bit. Still, I took the view that they were cheap and I honestly had nothing better to do with my time (sad). 

Though my patience was tested by the 21 track Biosphere!

NB: The sale is still there for anyone else.
