I've just downloaded 2 of the remaining four, but when i went for the third, all of them was gone.
They are in my downloads, but can't be redownloaded.
They had tomorrow's date on them, so hopefully it's a case of someone posting them too soon and then having to pull them for a day to be in complliance with agreements. This is what happened with the Dead can Dance Reissues - they were posted too early and were pulled later the same day. The problem there was that they were released in Europe a couple of months before the US. On the US Release date, they reappeared, an were again available in my download list without me having to add them.
At least I'm hoping it's a similar case, since I snagged 5 of those puppies while they were free. Anyone know how many there were?
These are the ones I saw - 10 total. The "Dig It" EP/single showed up on the Skinny Puppy artist page for a brief period of time and I snagged it from there. Never saw that one on the "New Releases" page:
Album: Dig It by Skinny Puppy
Album: Testure by Skinny Puppy
Album: Tormentor by Skinny Puppy
Album: Chainsaw by Skinny Puppy
Album: Censor by Skinny Puppy
Album: Inquisition by Skinny Puppy
Album: Addiction by Skinny Puppy
Album: Tin Omen by Skinny Puppy
Album: Worlock by Skinny Puppy
Album: Spasmolytic by Skinny Puppy
Amie appears to have picked up the Fat Wreck Chords label, which should help bring in some new customers through the door. Not quite my thing, but apparently there's some pretty good bands on the label. I'm always bad at genre-tagging, but I guess they fall under the Punk umbrella. I know Lawrence Arms are Riot Fest veterans. I mention the label, not knowing how well known it is in these parts. This may be old news for all I know.
I blame Dwizzle (Amie's Webmaster). I'm sure he's not letting freebies on the website because he knows I'll rec them and pass him up.
Dwizzle, you're going down! Today!
There was a paucity of freebies, but there were about a half dozen decent releases that were under $2 for a while. I've gotten away from thinking of Amie Street as a just free album place (although I still get plenty of those), and look at it more like a really cheap place to pick up stuff. Even if you pay $5 for an album, keep in mind that is Amie money not real money. For most of us, $5 Amie = $2 Real World. That's even cheaper than per-inflation eMu. I'll keep putting in $25 every time they have a 50% off sale.
Looks like they capped the new Hem album at $5 and are featuring on the front page. This means it will probably max out at 98 cent a track. Recing it now at around 27-29 cents a track will get you about 35 cents a rec.
I've been digging the Asteroids Galaxy Tour album, especially the song Pushing the Envelope. The Gwen Stefani comparisons are understandable, but I think Cindy Lauper on Helium is more to the point.
Pushing the Album reminds me of a Trip-hop Euro-disco version Subterranean Homesick Blues.
There's 5 Skinny Puppy singles added today at Emusic
They are not yet at the SP artistpage.
edit:
BTW: cEVIN KEY is occationally collaborating with The Legendary Pink Dots in The Tear Garden.
- Here's 3 very cheap and absolutely wonderfull albums.
Pushing the Envelope didn't stand out to me on my first listen, I'll have to make sure to focus on that one next time. Unfortunately, I forgot to add it to my iPod after downloading it, so I can't listen to it at work other than Around the Bend which has been on the iPod since it was released on their prior EP.
I can't remember where I read it, but TAGT was called the bridge between Cyndi Lauper and Gwen Stefani. I can see that a lot more than straight up comparisons to Stefani.
It's definitely one of those albums where a different song stands out every listen or two. Crazy just caught my ear last time around.
Brook Waggoner's Go Easy Little Doves has been in heavy rotation for me the last few weeks, although it's probably past most of your price points by now.
Not exactly as good a deal as the 500+ sound effect album Amazon had as the deal of the day a couple of weekends ago at $1.99 - cheap, cheesy, yes, but for just the possibility I might have some use for some of them some day I thought Hell, yeah. $39.75 I don't know what they're thinking.

Still no sign of the Skinny Puppy stuff.

Great minds think a like.

You need to stop changing your avatar! It keeps throwing me for a loop.

Now I can complete the album for only $39.60. I'm tempted.....
Craig
And the eloquence of your review prose moved me to tears....
