What happened to all their albums? I was going to listen to some boards today but only Hi Scores was on there.. They used to have all their studio albums and eps.

I was just having this discussion in the group Skype chat yesterday. We're unsure as to why they were taken down. Originally, all of the albums were up, but now, obviously, they're gone.
Other Warp artists seem to have their material on the program, so no one knows the official reason why.

It's been like this a couple of months already. All of a sudden they were gone with no apparent reason. Alas...

A possible explanation?
And believe it or not this is where the problem with Spotify starts. The internet is full of stories from artists detailing just how little they receive from Spotify. I shan’t repeat them here. They are epic. Spotify does not exist in a vacuum. The reason they can get away with paying so little to artists is because the alternative is The ‘Net where people have already purchased all the gear they need to loot those songs for free. Now while something like Spotify may be a solution for how to compensate artists fairly in the future, it is not a fair system now. As long as the consumer makes the unethical choice to support the looters, Spotify will not have to compensate artists fairly. There is simply no market pressure. Yet Spotify’s CEO is the 10th richest man in the UK music industry ahead of all but one artist on his service.

I really, still, do not get this Spotify thing or why people love it so much.

Useful and comprehensive for playlists.

Spotify is brilliant, certainly as an alternative to illegal downloading. It's a shame that it doesn't reward artists enough but I think the model is right. Maybe they offer too much for free? I've bought several albums as I've listened to tracks too much so I think it's doing something right....

yeah it seems that BoC's stuff keeps coming and going from Spotify, which was really annoying when I was first getting into them (Over a year ago now!) but now I own all their (well...) stuff, doesn't really matter to me.
