This procedure... c) Provide legal links for streamable samples of the band's music that checkers and team members can listen to (no clips nor excerpts). ...seems rather limiting. Albums that are sold on Amazon, for example, only provide 30 sec clips for you to sample, so it's impossible for a submission to meet this criteria.

Here's an example... David Cross & Peter Banks, "Crossover". Youtube? Nope, only samples. Amazon? Only samples. Soundcloud? Nope, not this album. Bandcamp? Nope, album isn't on there. Oh well, I guess a legitimately good album would be rejected because full-length streaming is not available.

^ To be clear, we always needed full albums to evaluate, it's just now on the person suggesting to provide links to the full albums in the suggestion thread. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
