Yes, they're always 30 seconds on Amazon. Not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

Actually I always try Juno first, who have 1-2 minute samples (if they're selling these particular records of course). And I google for soundcloud, bandcamp, and label links etc as well.

I've just started going through the #371 reviews systematically. Three things added to the longlist before that...

Thomas Dimuzio - Amid Zero Echo (Drone)

Luigi Nono - Seguente (Edition RZ)

various - Music from the Tudorfest: San Francisco Tape Music Center 1964 (New World)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Tudorfest-...B00R3NECI8

Decent records, but none of them really have the "this is great!" factor.
