Or maybe the bass knobs on Steve Aoki's mixer?

Doomed to be fondled by sweaty Aokihands.

Unless, they would be safely ignored after Stevie just sets-and-forgets the bass at its MAXX setting.

Not sure what's worse?

lets hope soon will be sooner now that some jackass made some money with rips.

not sure whether i should be happy those rips are offline now, because i'm not so sure if the mask's will be in the official bandcramp. or rather, im assuming they wont... :/

A goldfish has the luxury of forgetting

A BT hair gel tube would suffice imo

That's awesome.

I hope some sort of evil comes to the fake Skam hosts.

While what went down was totally illegal and morally troubling I do hope shows Andy that there is a market for these tracks in Digital formats...

I also respect that Skam has never been about the money (250+ Hi Scores represses aside) and it may be more within Skam's MO to continue to cultivate the rarity and exclusivity of the music as opposed to making it widely available. I'd prefer to be able to buy it digitally of course.

DIE!

Could always sell the entire catalogue to Martin Shkrelli

There is literally no reason apart from some kind of personal philosophical one that digital music shouldn't be available, especially if it's already out of print. It's pure profit for the artists and labels, and (contrary to what some elitist attitudes may think) it takes absolutely none of the specialness away from having the vinyl. In turbulent times like these, everybody wins.

It's not your music.

Looks like that Skam bandcamp.

Was a scam.

And there's no entitlement at all in my post. I'm talking about the economics of the situation, and one would think that people who care enough about public interest in their work to press hundreds to thousands of copies of it, and who have already opened an account at Bandcamp, would be interested in at least keeping the lights on at their operation.

If it *were* my music, and a label charged with publishing and distributing it decided it was "better" to keep out of stock/out of print/unavailable, I think I'd want to find another label.

Capitalism!

This. In general I really can't understand what extra value it adds to a release if it's limited to 20 copies of vinyl/cassette/vintage 8-track/whatever-only without any digital option. Particularly frustrating if we are talking about an artist or label who has an interested followers behind drooling for the new stuff. And like you said, It doesn't feel like something special and cool but quite darn elitist that you limit the chance to hear something to a limited group of people who happen to have required equipment and and to some extent enough dough to acquire a copy. Little hypocritical if those same persons are butt-hurt of pirating and p2p sharing. Little disclaimer: I'm not ranting about Skam with my post. Just something I can't get my head around.

I was under an impression that Skam had an own bleep store which was opened after skam.co.uk came to its end. Thought that everything new and old would end up there.

Forgot as well. And the reason why is simply that all of most of the hard to get stuff is not on there. No mask. No this that by gescom. I want to buy digital copies of the releases i currently only have some scrappy vinyl rip. Thats the limited and vinyl only stuff.. :(

no DF0:BAD digis either

the 700€ barf bag is still there

You're right, totally forgot about this - https://skam.bleepstores.com/

 

Actually just now registered there, upon purchasing Jega - 1995.

I feel like I should be familiar with half of the artists on Skam by now. Better late then never.

Weird, the original Skamcamp link in the OP now directs to this one track. Anyone recognise it?
