I recently managed to purchase a used CD of Pauseland’s
Palindrome, their second recording, for about $11. The remaining copies at
Amazon are going for hundreds of dollars.
Having found much pleasure in the individual recordings of
Soren Dahl Jeppesen, Jakob Buchanan, and Christian Vuust, I was very happy to
hear about the release of Pauseland’s At the End of the Day, which features
these musicians and Klaus Norgaard on bass. That discovery led to my searching
through their back catalog and listening to their two previous albums on
Spotify.
Using Spotify, however, makes me feel guilty, and I try to
purchase whatever I discover and listen to regularly on Spotify. After some
research, I discovered that only iTunes offered Palindrome as a download. Not
terribly fond of Apple, I have not downloaded iTunes to my current computer.
Previously, I discovered that iTunes wants to be the dominant music player on
any computer where it has been downloaded and that iTunes makes burning CD’s of
the music downloaded from Apple extremely difficult. I am not going to give up
Foobar2000 as my music player. Whenever I want to burn a CD, I use Windows
Media Player for that sole purpose.
Quite by chance, I discovered this used CD of Palindrome on
Amazon in June and have been extremely happy with my purchase. Only recently, I
discovered that Amazon has been offering Palindrome as a download since August
for those of you who have been deprived of this music. I recommend it
wholeheartedly.
Pauseland's debut recording, titled Pauseland, has been available on Amazon as a download since 2006, I believe.
