thanks!

Great way to start the year man! Great job, this is killer.

Buy this, jerks.

Really enjoyed the album. Excellent work!  Another instant classic.

I couldn't help but notice that "Wagering Lights" was credited as Disaterpeace only in the ID3 tags. There is no mention of the fact it was co-written with Derris-Kharlan.

I realise that the artist is credited on the bandcamp page ,even though it's buried at the very bottom of the page. When I mentioned this to a friend (who is also a Disasterpeace fan) he said "Oh yeah, like NEUTRALITE. That was co-produced and had a few tracks that were co-written".

My reaction : o_0

I had no idea this was the case and it kind of goes to prove my point. NEUTRALITE is one of my favourite albums and I had no idea that I should have been throwing some praise Spamtron's way. It is not at all obvious that he had worked on it.

If this was an oversight then fair enough, but I think it's one that should be corrected.

I guess what I'm saying is, can we please give credit where credit is due and put that credit on front street rather than down the bottom of the bandcamp page?

as far as i am aware, you have no control over your ID3 tags on bandcamp specifically.  there are loopholes where you can add [featuring artist] under the track's artist name, but then it fucks up on itunes/ipods when you are looking to hear a full album, it'll split it into multiple albums and you won't get to listen to all the tracks back to back, as you'd have to then go into another album to listen to the one specific track.

they allow you to put notes/credits on the track, so that when you click on the specific song on bandcamp, it open up the song page and you view all the specs/details of the individual track.

you don't really have any sort of option to "put credit on front street" it's always going to end up in public alley 42.

I feel like Bandcamp could be poised to do great things for online music distribution / sales / etc., if they could just get their approach to metadata sorted out. It's surprisingly clunky. But c'mon, even that aside — Disasterpeace is (obviously!) an upstanding musician and a consummate professional — give the guy a break!
