On the artist with one good track

Some playlists do something that bothers a lot of musicians, which is take one track from an artist's catalogue and leave the rest. The artist makes a record, the curator skims it, and one song appears on the playlist while the rest sit. From the artist's side, this can look like a kind of theft — the playlist gets the credit and the album gets ignored.

From the listener's side it's a service. The room needs what the room needs, and the one track that fits is the only one that should be there. Listening to a whole album is a different activity from listening to a playlist, and the playlist is honest about which activity it's supporting.

The right move is to make the artist easy to follow. Each track on the rooms here has the artist visible; the listener who falls for a track can find the rest. That's where the album lives. The playlist is not the artist's promotional channel, but it does function as one when the listener follows the link.

The wrong way to do this is to take the track and call the artist 'similar to other ambient music' in the description. Every track is a specific person's work. The room is a thin frame around them; the rest of the frame is whatever the listener does next.
