1. ✴Bonobo’s back
 
And apparently this is a gem. I absolutely loved the first two albums. I’ll have to get this one as soon as possible.
Now I checked on the French iTunes Music Store, it actually ranks third in the top ten electronic albums! I was quite surprised to find it on the iTMS in the first place, I always thought Ninja Tune artists were distributed online exclusively by Bleep.
I said to myself, this could well be your first iTMS purchase.
But then I thought of checking if it was on Bleep too.
Sure enough, it is there.
Let me check the prices: iTMS = 11.99€, Bleep = 9.99€
2€ cheaper on Bleep, good stuff. Plus it’s 320kbps MP3 with no DRM instead of the iTMS’ 128kbps restricted AAC.
So there I thought, man, this might just be your first digital download purchase ever, on Bleep.
But then I went to check out Ninja Tune’s official releases page, found Days to Come, and realized there is a two-CDs limited edition with plenty of bonus tracks for 12 quids...
And now I really don’t think I’m going to go for any digital purchase.
 
EDIT: Damn, I checked again on the iTMS, the reason why it is 11.99€ is that, unlike Bleep, this is the two-CD limited edition they’re selling...
