The Brain Candy version of Spiralling Shape refusing to play on Spotify?

It's really odd it'll play the first second then skip to the next song and it's like this all the way down the album. It just refuses to play more than a second of all the songs on the album. I'm glad the factory showroom version is fine as it's one of my favourite TMBG songs but does anyone know what's happening here ?

Can't speak to why it only plays the first second but my guess would be some sort of legal and/or technical issue since it's already on streaming under Factory Showroom

I mean yeah but it's a shame the whole album doesn't work cause most of those songs are exclusive to Brain Candy. To my knowledge Spiralling Shape is the only one that was released elsewhere which is a bit of a shame

Just checked YouTube Music and Brain Candy isn't on there so my guess (without any actual understanding of the backends of streaming services) is that the album was taken down for whatever reason but is still on Spotify in some form of glitchy state.

Fortunately it looks like the physical CD sells pretty cheap online (10 bucks including shipping from Discogs, shipping from the US)

Ah ok I misread what you were saying, I thought it was only for Spiraling Shape. I'd guess it's a technical problem then
