i assume you don't mean the electronic music newsletter earplug. but
the above reminded me, that's how i heard of burial's first album, and
when i read the review and listened to the mp3 link i was instantly
hooked and bought the CD ASAP.
i ended up joining beatport because ADULT. released a beatport-
exclusive digital EP. i bought 2 tracks and found it easy and cool to
have these "one-shot" songs in this format. i still don't like mp3's
for most music, but a lot of electronic artists seem to have it sorted
out to sound good like that.
now if only digital outlets would sell FLAC or WAV files without
charging a premium.
