Pete Namlook is interesting to me ever since I ran across "Skydiver" with Bobby Bird. I'm a sucker for anything that has Gerry Anderson in its Venn diagram. The Burhan Ocal box set above appears to contain the Sultan Orhan album mentioned by GP.
@Germanprof - I am considering. Need some weekend time to decide whether to pull the trigger. I mean, I would never have guessed before the fact that I would love Peruvian psychedelia/garage like Back To Peru, 1 or 2, or The Roots of Chicha. It's a weird and wonderful world out there.
Pat Metheny - Tap: The Book of Angels 20 - 2.49 John Zorn - At the Gates of Paradise - 3.49 There are quite a lot of John Zorn and Tzadik albums at $3.49 or $3.99. I'll make a list if I get time, but the label is worth browsing for bargains, and a lot of it has become cheaper than before the emusic relaunch. Caution though if like me you bought a bunch when Tzadik first got added: Since the label was removed and re-added they do not show as already purchased.
@Doofy, can you still see it? Because for me right now emusic is not showing it or any other Smoke Sessions album :-(. Oh wait, found it indirectly, but Smoke Sessions label is still showing me a blank page and this album does not appear in any of the most obvious searches. ETA aaand it's back. As you were.
I got it. I think things are back to normal now; it still does not show up in search under Peter Bernstein, but at least his page and the Smoke Sessions page have albums again.
Felmay Records has a number of great bargains, perhaps most notably Terry Riley's excellent Persian Surgery Dervishes and Steve Reich's Four Organs. I love this from Pitchfork's review of Four Organs: "Listening to this piece in headphones, with multiple Farfisas pulling at
this one chord like dogs fighting over a sock, I sometimes had to
remind myself to unclench my jaw."
I'm playing the second Reich piece on the Four Organs album right now, "Phase Patterns," and a blue jay landed on the fence just outside my open window and began chirping along with the music for half a minute...I didn't know blue jays even could chirp...
Ulrich Krieger's Early American Minimalism - Wall of Sound II is only $1.99 for 1:09. Excellent rendition of Terry Riley's Dorian Reeds and Reich's Reed Phase, among others. Weirdly, I see no evidence of an album called Early American Minimalism - Wall of Sound I. Perhaps the II is meant to illustrate a wall, rather than the Roman numeral two.
Markus Stockhausen, Eivind Aarset, Francesco Bearzatti, and Martux_m Crew have Imagine up for $0.99, 48:47 minutes. Stockhausen and Martux_m Crew's collaboration Atlas is only $0.99, though half the length. Both remind me of Nils Petter Molvaer, pleasingly.
There are only two entries from New Albion Records on emusic (alas!). They are, however, both bargains:
Rothko Chapel by Morton Feldman, $2.49, and Dark Waters by Ingram Marshall, one of my favorite composers, for only $1.99. I hope the rest of the New Albion catalog appears soon.

Dvořák: Sacred Works & Cantatas, just under nine hours and 113 Tracks for $6.99. Prague Radio Symphony and Czech National Orchestra. [EDIT: This would not download for me, customer service got back to me within an hour, confirmed the problem and credited me for the purchase. tl;dr, do not purchase this one]
