I have my problems with Spotify, but this is not one of them. I discover new artists, or long forgotten artists, regularly - even some weird obscure shit like Tänzelcore.
But I have to agree, that the magic of discovering new music is not the same as, for example, digging records in a record store or via obscure boards and platforms (remember FF-Shrine?)
- parasti 3mo agoHow? What's your secret? It's actively fighting me from discovering anything new. "Hey we'll show this artist you stopped listening to two years ago on your start screen forever. Wanna jump back in?" That's Spotify to me.
- enimodas 3mo agoMy spotify homepage has had a "discover weekly" playlist for like 10 years. Found some nice things there, changes every week.
- roryokane 3mo agoIf you liked FF-Shrine, there are some active successor sites. Search for Sitting on Clouds (which is like FFShrine’s Galbadia Hotel) and SquidBoard (a forum).
- plastic-enjoyer 3mo agoHoly shit, thank you! FF-Shrine was phenomenal back then to find even the most obscure rearrangements of video game music. I know, that there has to be some backup archive of FF-Shrine, which I stumbled upon a few years ago, but unfortunately didn't save.
