All Ochre albums - Pay what you want - on bandcamp!

Yup.

Including the seminal Midsummer Nice Dream, all of Ochre's albums have been released on bandcamp for the chiefly sum of - whatever you want. That includes zero.

Nice time to grab them:

Not new releases I know, but certainly a new price and delivery format. And an extremely generous one.

That's great.

thanks for this, been meaning to check em out for some time

Love these albums. Midummer Nice Dream and Lemodie also come with the CD pre-gap 'hidden' tracks. Bit disconcerting in his blog though that he hints he might not release any more records. That would be criminal.

Don't think he's hinting that- though he does say that it's impossible to make a living doing it nowadays, which is true.

Thanks for the info! I heard a little bit of his work awhile back and enjoyed it... going to dive in deeper

Oh, any recommendations for first album to listen to??

I got Lemodie and Like Dust of the Balance when Benbecula was selling CDs for tuppence about a year ago. I think Lemodie is my favourite.

No Sound System Bangers Vol. 1? Wonder how much my CD of that would go for.

I Think his first, Midsummer, is the best starting point. It's mixing is fairly laid back and chill compared to the others, which get a bit more adventurous.

Lemodie and Like dust of the balance rocks! awesome albums

This is just bringing a warm glow of nostalgia for when Toytronic were new, the early days of CCO and Morr. Good chance to pick up on some stuff I missed.

A shitload, hopefully (not that I'm wanting to sell, just for kudos).

I forgot about this thread, but I started from there anyways... fantastic album!! I quickly moved on the Lemodie and it's almost as good (so far). This guy is awesome!! I hear tones of BOC, Plaid & Autechre all rolled in here. Anyone who hasn't checked him out has NO excuse now.

I got into his 'Volume 1-3' works first, then got lemodie, then midsummer... so I worked backwards :) But Midsummer is nice to start off with, particularly if you're a fan of BoC or Plaid.
