Digital release of DJ club mixes on July 26 (next Tuesday)

via Amazon.com

Diamond Jigsaw (Julien Chaptal Remix) sounds somewhat promising... anyone hear the whole thing?

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a 'digital promo'? I mean, how do the compiling and distribution work? What does it make 'promo'?

P. S.: Having to ask about digital promos, but knowing what a vinyl is makes me feel old.

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

yea - I don't understand how you could have a "digital promo"

it's like - "here, take these mp3 copies of the single FOR FREE NOW... and in a couple of weeks, please buy the exact same thing ...please!"

also - I played the "louder" mix, and I didn't notice anything different, I do like the invisibles remix though... but I think the instrumental works a bit better

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

I've been sent more digital promos recently. I'm assuming that the PRs/labels can trace leaks easier this way or summin.

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

The digital promos are mostly for DJ's and radio stations, and the like. I think it's easier for them to distribute rather than sending out CDs and such.

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

Evidently. So I guess the fact that makes those ZIP folders of digital music files 'promo' is that they're not yet available on the open market, or at least not all of the tracks, and are distributed solely for the purposes of airplay and reviews?

Doesn't sound hunt-worthy to me as a moderately obsessive collector-fan... :/

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

Are those promos watermarked?

Re: Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links
 

They're promo by virtue of the fact that they're intended (and generally given for free) for promotional purposes, rather than retail sale, regardless of whether they're available at retail or not.

I don't think they're generally watermarked, unless labeled as such.

The Louder version is louder. All of the sounds are much more prominent in the mix (excuse my non-musical description.)
