I don't the problem is so much getting the music to people, as there are numerous ways to get it, as it is having a record of all his albums for public posterity. What would be really sweet is if someone set up a website that fulfills the exact same function as Omar's old bandcamp: all the albums, credits, artwork etc. in chronological order and easily accessible. You could even ask for donations and give the money to charity (like that Save the Music foundation that ORL+JF album went to). I don't think there would be anything wrong with doing that. The demand is there and it's not like Omar is doing anything with those albums.

This. Minus the donations. I would gladly just spend the money for the web hosting. This is about managing Omar's freakish discography which at this point he might not even be capable of doing. I am willing to bet someone else was in charge of the old bandcamp and who knows what has happened since then.
Also, if/when Omar does decide to re-upload everything, I would respect his authority over digital distribution and take the site down.

I don't think a version of 'Healing Song' has been leaked/released with Cedric on vocals... which sucks because Orlando is awful on it. The other track is 1p1swfb (or something like that) has been posted about awhile back. I'll see if I still have it.

Thank you. I'm thinking of making a bside album that has ced on vocals.

I know we have those 3 tracks from the leaked b sides, cradle of fuses, plague, the tracks from missing chromo, and was there anything else?

I'd love to have a b-side album like that. I could just make a playlist with them but if you can do that, I'd really appreciate it.

Maybe the money could actually make it to the charity this time.

Yeah it's a major bummer that The Healing Song with Cedric was never released. I can imagine him killing it on that track. The soundtrack probably would've gotten way more sales if it had the original Volta versions too. I don't get it.

No need to make a new site since there's already The Marble Shrine.
(about time it was properly updated, too)

I'll upload them. Give me a few minutes.
EDIT: Do I post the link here or do I PM peeps??
Is the Buffalo soundtrack just the audio (including dialogue and background noises) rip from the dvd or from another source?

Hahaha. The songs open with songify and they all say "Sorry, this track or album could not be loaded".
No, this is not an acceptable solution.

Completely agree with you!! Doesn't make sense, at all.

Question for everyone. I am debating what standard encoding to use for the website I am working on. How does 192 kbps MP3 sound? Would that be acceptable for the actual files that I plan to have direct HTML 5 audio links for? It's either that or ogg vorbis. The intention is to keep the size to a minimum while maintaining a good degree of quality and that seemed like a good compromise.
