Midnight Oil Bird Noises
Beware apart from this being the same stuff that has appeared year after year after year…
I have noticed on a lot of the stuff that Qobuz are a bit naughty they’ll give you, say, 30% off which sounds great. But what they do is jack the up front price up so what you pay as a discount is the same price as it was before the Download Fest.
Despite above there are some bargains to be had. Don’t worry if you miss them the same stuff will be around next year.
