Originally Posted by Effusion /img/forum/go_quote.gif I find it really interesting that with most of my favorite artists I ended up buying their first (big) release on merely a whim...

BOC, thought the cover was really interesting/different and was already into some of their label mates... Now that I read reviews/recommendations or preview the short 30 second clips that litter cyperspace, great first releases just don't have the same impact as they used to. Maybe it is just the act of finding/picking a real gem out of a pile of rocks that keeps you returning to that time, that place, where fate took you by the hand and made your ears smile. Anyone agree or have any similar experiences...? |

Each of them (and DJ Shadow, who kicked this off) makes me think. If the artists you listed had had only the one album, would they still be in your top debut list? (I assume you'll say yes because of some cognitive bias I don't understand; just food for thought.) |
