Split Release on Spotify Raises Questions About Cohesion of “Sound Of The Jungle” Compilation
It’s worth noting that while the “Sound Of The Jungle” compilation is available in full on Beatport, it is only available split into parts on Spotify. This can be a frustrating experience for listeners who want to enjoy the entire journey of the compilation seamlessly.
Many fans of the compilation have expressed their disappointment on social media, questioning why the tracks were split into separate parts on Spotify instead of being released as a full compilation. Some have speculated that this may be due to licensing or distribution issues, while others have simply expressed their confusion and frustration.
It’s unclear why Zamna Records chose to release the “Sound Of The Jungle” compilation in this way, but it’s clear that many fans would have preferred to have access to the entire collection in one place. Hopefully, in the future, the label will consider releasing the compilation in its entirety on all platforms to provide listeners with a more cohesive listening experience. In the meantime, for those who want to experience the full journey of the “Sound Of The Jungle” compilation, Beatport remains the go-to destination.
