I love the story of how Dummy was made: apparently the guys would listen to old records for inspirations but then hire real-life pro session musicians to record legally distinct pastiches and then they would press polyvinylchloride LPs out of those new recordings then they'd absolutely bang to pieces those records so that they sounded pld & vintage and then they'd work their DJ magic and then they'd send those pristine magic tracks to Gibbons, who was working remotely.

And then what she sent back would be completely remixed, reordered, resampled, reshuffled, repitched, re-messed up by her. (Or so I've bee told. It sounds so wild.) And the end result as we all know is magic, and it trailblazed the cherished Bristol trip hop sound. Love it ♥︎

@otfrom You think it was a case of identity theft?

@alex I've no idea. I just know that the link to the album isn't there any more

I decided to send Bandcamp a question. Did we both fall for an impostor? I guess the larger question is: how do artists authenticate themselves? Can I claim to be somebody else and set up a shop selling digital copies of their music? For a few days at least? Or was this more of a timing issue: they hadn’t planned for the account to be public right now, trying to sell physical copies, first. Or it’s a licensing deal: can’t sell on Bandcamp when you’re trying to sell somewhere else? And what would have happened if I hadn’t downloaded those files immediately?

I got a refund from Bandcamp because "the release and the account that contained it were removed from the site for violating our terms of use." No details. 🤷‍♂️
