My Question or Issue

I'm looking for albums from John Zorn. I first search via Google and that gave me several links. However if i open Spotify (desktop and Android) and i search for John Zorn i do not find these albums again. What am I doing wrong ?

Kind regards

If you open those albums via Google are you able to listen to them? It’s common that you can find almost any album via Google but they’re not available to listen on Spotify. In the desktop/mobile apps unavailable albums won’t even show up via search.

Maybe my problem statement was a bit confusing 🙂

OK, i search in Google for "spotify zorn" and i get links like https://open.spotify.com/album/4HmQrft1YAXAJBh7MVTQFc?highlight=spotify:track:0kgy2a3NQsUayilx52FXB0 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjF4KDF5LjoAhVw-SoKHV3_Cqk4ChAWMAB6BAgDEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Falbum%2F2prFRWoh1xnYzZ8gdUMPl3&usg=AOvVaw2O_m4l-0q0aRn61RA6bvL1 If i click on this i enter Spotify and see the album Book Of Angels Volume 1. However if i go directly in Spotify and serach for John Zorn i don't see this album

Checking the album's availablility with a 3rd party tool shows that this album is not available anywhere: https://kaaes.github.io/albums-availability/#2prFRWoh1xnYzZ8gdUMPl3
