I would have actually been interested in this. 50 copies? You think they would make a compilation in a much higher run, especially if it's not part of a limited run series but a reissuing of older material.

 

Is this stuff available digitally/streaming anywhere? I've been too lazy to hunt it down.

This was blerp's advent item of the day, except it sold out before they even sent the email out.  Genius.

I got the email before it sold out. Last week, Bleep did mention this was coming out. I wouldn't feel too bad about missing it. There's no reason to own this - no exclusive material, not even a download. It's underwhelming and unnecessary unless you have money to throw away. Given the above, I'm surprised it went so quickly.

No it's not. You have to buy the vinyl to get download codes. DFT probably shudder at the thought of streaming. It doesn't fit their aesthetic at all.

A few of the older releases are available digitally on bleep:

Only the calendar customs stuff. DFT keep a really tight hold on downloads - it's all about keeping it exclusive. Sometimes I think more attention is paid to that aspect than the music. They also have a Bandcamp page but there is hardly anything to download.

I very much appreciate it but don't worry about it. I imagine it's pretty expensive. I've got a kid now and my tape collecting has become very select and slow. I'm selling more than buying TBH.

 

Now if you know of a digitally extracted copy floating around feel free to let me know.  :wink:
