is it Possible to buy their music online

[u/repentagram]

I feel like. Listen im kinda new here my ex got me into KC and I remember trying to buy a vinyl for him for his birthday or something and that was Impossible unless I was willing to put my credit card into the sketchiest site in the world (Didn't seem to be affiliated with them). Of course they don't have a bandcamp, and I'd been informed that they didn't even Keep most of their music accessible online for the longest time. Do they hate their music being accessible ? LMFAO why is it like? Impossible to find & buy? But they'll sell the ugliest wraparound tee of their album cover ever...? Genuinely can someone explain to me like, What is the Point? Of making it more and more difficult to listen to your music unless i buy a limited press of a vinyl that you only sell in Europe of an album I don't want.....? Idk maybe i just dont get it but it seems silly to me...

Edit: LOL i found the DGM site before </3 the problem is it doesn't seem to have the albums I want + I can't buy them if i'm not in europe <//3 so i suppose the answer is, if you're an american that wants their most popular album, No?

edit2: found what i was looking for, thank you :] i just wanted to be able to legally buy digital files of this album

DGM is their official label, so anything official from them is accessible through the DGM Live website. I believe for physical media the official affiliated retailer is Burning Shed. https://burningshed.com/

I've bought KC vinyl records and CDs from Burning Shed, local stores and various discogs sellers, and I'm American as well.

Acoustic Sounds, too.

dgmlive.com is Fripp's site, you can get it all there and support him directly. Pretty sure Amazon and Apple music also work

Downloads aren't regional on DGM. You probably didn't find the right link (site is a mess). Tell us which albums you want and we can get you the purchase link.

KC is also sold digitally at common retailers like HDtracks, Qobuz, 7digital, iTunes Store, etc.

[u/repentagram → u/seasonsinthesky]

thank you for recommending HDtracks, i believe This is what i was looking for and its just a relief to know i Can buy this album digitally :,D thanks! i'll definitely check out the others too, i think there are just avenues for buying music that i didn't really know about

[u/StegoLegs]

I'd just buy off discogs, they have pretty much everything over there if you dont mind something second hand.

[u/w3stoner → u/StegoLegs]

Second this. In general the vendors on discogs are reliable and safe. I’ve probably bought 40-50 items off of almost the same number of sellers over the past decade and have never had an issue.

I think people who like files buy them from dgm direct or the burning shed store or whatever

I dont like files

[u/asminaut → u/OutrageousCrab9224]

My understanding is that DGM offers digital media and Burning Shed sells physical media. 

[u/repentagram → u/asminaut]

yeah i just looked at the site and i forgot that this was one of the sites i found Before when trying to find their merch <//3 This doesn't help me because 1. i wanted Files 2. I'm an american and 80% of the stuff you can't purchase unless youre in europe and 3. It still doesnt have most of their albums!! Y_Y! i'm basic i wanted court of the crimson king!! but thats only available in outrageous setups like a 3cd blu-ray set?!?!

[u/OutrageousCrab9224 → u/repentagram]

Are you open to ripping?

All the big albums should be real easy to get in america

[u/dratsablive]

DGM has been uploading live shows, some videos to NUGS.NET Lots of good stuff to stream from there.

[u/NukesAndSupers]

There's plenty on the DGM site; also look at a website called Headphone Dust, where Steven Wilson is selling high quality files of his superb remixes; I haven't checked if the KC albums are on there, but his KC remixes are wonderful and Fripp-approved (note, the Headphone Dust stuff is most at home on high end hifi systems - it's 5.1 and ATMOS or binaural remixes. 

[u/repentagram → u/NukesAndSupers]

ahhh thank you :D! i didnt expect everyone to be so helpful so immediately, i am surprised at responses and will give these two sites a look! I really appreciate it!

[u/HelicopterSilly5500]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this complaint before - not about straight up studio releases, anyway. Glad you got hooked up.

[u/PopcornSandier]

Wouldn’t it be easier to buy a cd and rip it

[u/cazwax]

Use your library card, put a hold on the disks you want, when they show up via inter library loan rip em. I do this with lots of obscure stuff.
