Minimalistix - Struggle For Pleasure (Filterheadz Remix)
View this Thread in Original format

I don't suppose anyone ever bought a digital copy of this? I had it in my Beatport crate for ages, and one day I came to buy it and it had vanished! It was formerly on Spotify as well, but all digital traces of it have now vanished.

For those who don't know it, it's a glorious slice of mellow but crunchy prog goodness from The Good Old Days:

Paradox Lost
I really wish Beatport would notify its users in the event that a track gets removed from their store. Sometimes music gets rezoned, pulled, or for whatever other reason just disappears, and while there's probably no financial incentive for them to do this (as they're in effect saying 'go spend money somewhere else'), it would be nice if they helped us keep tabs on what's gone missing.

The way it’s been yanked from all digital platforms simultaneously suggests it’s a publishing issue. I imagine these things happen automatically when someone allows a contract to elapse or fails to pay a bill, and very likely Beatport won’t even know about it (much less care).

Hm, it's still on my Spotify playlist, but it seems to have indeed vanished from BP.

I currently have it in one of my Playlists, plucked from an album called "Best Of Belgian Dance Classix 3". It also appears on "Belgian Dance Classix 4" when I search Spotify for it.

Maybe it's a regional thing?
SYSTEM-J
I can see that version, but it's only 5 minutes long. The full unmixed single vanished, as did a Minimalistix album with a bonus remix disc.
Mr.Mystery
Does this work for you: https://open.spotify.com/album/5TYp...OQRGok_wRmV3jHw

If not, then it's some sort of region thing.

Edit:
Wait, what? When I click on that link it gives me a completely different tracklisting than in the app.

I didn't buy it digitally but I have a copy ripped from vinyl back when I used to do these things very carefully, if you want it.
SYSTEM-J
I've been sorted out now by an esteemed fellow TA, but thanks for offering.

you snooze you loose muthaa.


who told you to keep it in your beat port crate for years.

SYSTEM-J
Oh, that's nothing, believe me. My Beatport hold bin is like the warehouse from the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Lemme guess, the moment it was no longer available was the moment you realised you just had to have it? :tongue2
