Glad you pointed that out, since this particular scenario will continue to present itself. Since I'm an avid vinyl fetishist if you may, digital files, for one reason or another just aren't on my radar. They might as well not exist in my world. Unless I have a prior relationship with said label (ie. Eveonext, PTR, Motech, etc.) and/or I'm being sent a mp3 promo / peek of a forthcoming vinyl release. I'll probably forget about the tune being mentioned as soon as I open up a new window or navigate to another page, after forwarding the info to the digital jocks in my inner circle. So in the aforementioned example of the k.hand tunes, they were on beatport in February, but RELEASED this week.
I know that's splitting hairs for most, but this is just how I approach it. Perhaps I'm missing out on the next "Strings of Life", but until proven wrong I highly doubt it. I know Andrew and others have mentioned the latest Planet E from Reade Truth (Sonic Groove), but if you haven't already done so, you must get this record. Refreshing, is the adjective that first comes to mind each and every time I drop these tunes on the platter. I can't say I've flipped over anything he has done previously on his Path Imprint, but if this release is a sign of things to come, I'll be first in line to snag a copy! jw ps. (full disclosure, I run a record label w/ my mates and have a vested interest in the continuation of the vinyl format, we do release digital files. Personally I just don't get the same buzz from that as I do from vinyl.) also I see there's an R&S repress of the 69 classic "lite music" so those of you that missed out the first couple of times around, please go out and purchase. It will be nice to hear someone else play these tunes, besides people I know personally.:) On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Frank Glazer <[email protected]> wrote: > The K-Hand stuff has been available on beatport since February. ;) > > https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/track/catalog/?performerId=56510&contextType=artists&contextEntityId=56510&orderBy=trackPublishDate%20DESC%2C%20releaseId%20DESC > > On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 4:48 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: >> K Hand is back!
