I like music, bandcamp seems like a good place to support artists. Thoughts?

Let me offer a bit of back story.

I own many CD's.

More than 1000.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
In my experience, Bandcamp is one of the best sites for supporting artists, especially independent artists. Are you looking to buy CDs? Or other physical / digital media?

Just found this thread, what kind of music are you looking for? My favorite band on there is a melodic metal band.

http://ghostbrigade.bandcamp.com/album/isolation-songs

For trip hop I bought this guy's discography :

https://saltillo.bandcamp.com

And for some standard rock, I rebought this band's discography. One of the band members was (is?) a goon and have one or more of the albums away free on here:

And another goon's freebies I rebought, this time instrumental:

I have more, but this was already a few for my first post.


Edit: I have nearly 800 CDs, and also prefer bandcamp now.

I was expecting something like Run The Jewel's Meow the Jewels. The cover art didn't live up to that. 1/5.

Ask me about personal watercraft.
I like electro and braindance/idm whatever.

https://analogicalforce.bandcamp.com/ Quality label for electro releases, The Voiceless series is a good starter. This article is kind of a good primer, I don't hear much about it elsewhere on the web otherwise: https://djmag.com/content/return-electro


More electro/acid from EOD who also releases under the CN moniker. Posts occasionally on the forums as AvidAcid
Volume 1,2,3 are classics, EAP tracks has a lot of gems, Nu is fantastic, basically everything he puts out is gold.
https://eodtracks.bandcamp.com/


For more aphex twin-esque "idm" for lack of a better time, this guy is criminally unknown, has releases under two different aliases.
World Building and Yuo're Life are good starts; for Trackermatte, Ná and the two Dreamhunter releases are quality.

If you like Post Rock/Instrumental stuff, Spaces is a goon band (if I remember correctly) that is pretty great

I've posted about these guys in the Indie Rock thread and a lot of people seem to agree it's a very very good and very underappreciated album. This and Sturgill are my albums of the year.

spacy pop music. highlights are the entire first half of the album and Standing Waves

I just had two come up on my phone that I'm listening to:

Mile Marker Zero - This is a band that's local to my state, prog rock band. I have this album below, and just started their most recent album the other day:
https://mmzofficial.bandcamp.com/album/mile-marker-zero

The Black Queen - Here's a rock band that I got introduced to in the Nine Inch Nails thread. They sound like if NIN kept making albums like Pretty Hate Machine, but modern. The album below is one of my favorite albums.
