The problem is once you buy a big tune you rinse it to death and move on to the next thing, no matter how much you initially loved it (just look through your record collection and think how almost every tune in there used to be a "oh I really need this one" and now you probably play it a couple of times a year). I picked up Zomby's R&R today and it pains me to think one day it could be sat in the back of my collection gathering dust after all I went through to get a copy. TBH I might have to ration myself to one listen per week to ensure this never happens.
I think what old Boomnizzle is saying is that when you hear Mala's unknown/unreleased tracks on a Sound System, that feeling is literally priceless, and is similar to hearing it live as if it was an exclusive performance from a soloist or a band. This gives the music longevity and it also maintains the artists control over how and where their music is played, and earning more money from gigs than unit sales is better for any musician in the long run (especially nowadays with the digital stores offering more and more for less and less to stay competitive). Gutted for you if he isn't regularly DJing in you area but that's what world tours are for, or you could always migrate - we need more people in this country who appreciate DMZ.
