^^You're welcome, I really haven't spent much time exploring, just filling in the alphabet. Once the garden's been put to sleep I'll spend some time exploring your lists.
Well, here I am once again catching up. I'm still mostly filling in the alphabet, except for the bunch in the middle that I had to download the day before my final booster ran out in Sept. With my wife taking early retirement due to that Covid, things are pretty tight right now. I'm limiting myself to my $6.49 lite subscription, the odd name your price from Bandcamp (as well as the free ones), interesting things from archive.org and UbuWeb as well I've been digitizing some of my vinyl to add in to the mix. I'd really love to take advantage of all these sales but I just can't afford it right now. I'll try my best to catch up in the new year. Meanwhile I'm happy and thankful I still have a place in the budget for music and for all you folks who have led me to so many interesting and inexpensive albums - Thanks again! Other than all that, this first year of retirement has just been the greatest!!
Well, it's been strange being on my $6.49 "Lite" subscription plan. There's way more planning involved and there's no guarantee that a partly downloaded album will be there the next day when your subscription renews. I blame Co-vid (which I pretty much blame for everything)*. Nov. Dec. & Jan.

Well, surely some are getting paid. I still download with the expectation that they pay their debts. The law will decide in the end, I guess?
Try to find someone getting paid. No point suing someone with no assets.
Well, I know this has been rehashed many times and my apologies for being a cheapskate, but if that is the case then I don't feel sorry for vendors that don't pull their products if they are not getting any kind of renumeration for it.

You will find a number of "vendors " that only have long ago issued albums on eMusic. Several have told me that they were advised that their (admittedly slim) chance of getting anything from eMusic would be greatly reduced if they had no stake any longer. Try to find a new jazz or classical album from any reputable label on eMusic or one that has been reviewed anywhere.
I genuinely forgot that eMusic was still around. I guess I just thought they'd shut down.
I went and visited their site just now. Was it always that slick? I mean, that is a very good looking website, and moving around it was very simple. Wasn't eMusic always a really clunky site, even at its best? I recall a lot of problems when they moved from their old-school site to a wordpress theme, and it took them awhile to get their sea legs in the new environment. But I don't recall it being that nice. Of course, that isn't necessarily to the credit of current ownership; It may just be that wordpress theme platforms are just that much more idiot proof than they used to be (as a wordpress theme owner for the last ten years, I speak from experience; they have made it much more difficult for me to screw things up with my amateurism).
Of course, none of that matters if they have fuck-all for music. That jazz section was EMBARRASSING lol. It's all smooth jazz compilations and their kin- the kind of playlist music that Spotify creates in-house to score some of the royalties they should be paying to actual artists. It wasn't until the bottom of page three that I saw something legit (Jazz Engine label) and page five that I encountered the next legit rec (Discos Pendiente label). They clearly went all in with their commitment to being an artist resource and the whole music retail thing was just sort of a by-product of it.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why their retail side was drained of anything worthwhile. They wanted to sign artists to their services and be able to say, look, the retail section will feature music by you and other signees and you won't get drowned out on the retail side by, y'know, better artists than you. I dunno. Baffling. But I suppose the eMusic model was never going to last, and finally one ownership group in the parade finally said, hey, let's take a shot at making it something else... it'll probably fail, but maybe we capture a miracle or, at least, get some decent press out of it. And oh man, I JUST REMEMBERED- They were after that sweet sweet crypto investment cash! Hoo boy.
Also, really sad that any retailer should still be up and running when there's legit questions about whether they're paying people. I mean, I don't expect them to put up a banner on the home page that announces, "PAYING MUSICIANS AGAIN!!!" - But there's probably some indirect routes for getting that kind of information out there.
Anybody still think fondly back on Amie St.? I do.
At the risk of being a broken record, I think eMusic can still be a part of the solution to the real problem that streaming platforms’ compensation models only work for popular bands whose songs get streamed a zillion times, that Amazon, Apple, and Google might someday before long be the only options.
I admit that my defense of eMusic is reactionary to everybody else crapping all over it (other than the site’s functionality) and mainly undertaken for selfish reasons (wanting to continue buying obscure stuff cheaply) and b/c nobody else is going to.
Serious jazz people have repeatedly pilloried me for highlighting “non-reputable” and “unimportant” jazz releases, but I’ll just say again that for a casual jazz listener like myself, I’m not going to shell out for jazz on Bandcamp. Since what I’m willing to pay for jazz is in a grey area, eMu remains my main source for jazz, and I’d listen to a whole lot less of it if they finally bit the big one.
I'd appreciate any help in sorting this label list (from the "Emusers Label & Linernotes Database", the first link on this forum) for what's still on eMusic and what's "reputable" (if anything), currently in order of my preferences...
Jazz/Blues:
*Gondwana; *Jazz Engine; *Shifting Paradigm; *Roaratorio; *Trunk; *Skirl; *Club del Disco; *Eclipse Music Digital; *Visage Music SaS;
As a start, not all of these even have any product at eMusic anymore (i.e., Jazzwerkstatt) so they can be ignored. For others, if there are no albums (or tracks) after 2018 it is a label that has not been paid and, so, should not be downloaded. A couple of the others, Nagel-Heyer for example, recycle older material; I don't know whether they pay royalties on the older material, but they are now selling through Bandcamp and once had some decent own releases. The Bis is not the Swedish Bis which releases excellent classical disks and a couple of jazz albums. Most of the rest are releasing material that doesn't rise above what one can hear (could hear pre-covid) at your local on Friday night (Sultans of Swing, to cite Mark Knopfler). The odd one in your first line is Skirl. For a little more than a decade (ending in 2017) they had some interesting releases, but all the artists went off to record with other, more prominent labels and they seem not to have released anything since. They have a not very professional web site on which they claim to be on Bandcamp, but I could not find any of their releases there. The two so called 2020 releases are actually from 2017; I have no idea why these showed up as 2020 additions. I could find none of the artists at Club de Disco in any of the standard jazz discographies. I don't have time to go over all the labels, but I did notice that a lot of the entries appear to be singles rather than albums. If you are really interested in jazz you should look at issues of DownBeat (less mainstream than it used to be), Jazzwise (for coverage of Europe), Cadence (for creative music) and even Jazz Times (more mainstream). I recommend the blog Music and More ( it's free of course). And I always recommend Gary Giddens' book Weather Bird for an excellent collection of his insightful columns, mostly from the Village Voice. And, as always, quality over quantity.
@yarjazz Thanks, and I'll prune the list according to your notes eventually. I'd be very interested in someone dividing all the jazz labels on Bandcamp into tiers of quality similarly, to guide the benighted such as myself still getting their jazz from eMusic. Always plenty of work to do.
Well, after 18 years I've finally cancelled my subscription to Emusic. Not only that, I'm converted-out. I got as far as The Kinks' Low Budget and decided to call an end to this round of living in the past. I've really enjoyed this session but it just takes sooo long to do. So it's back to finishing off my existing iTunes alphabet. Since this may be my last Emusic Downloads post, I decided to go all out and add art work to my post. My "Lite" subscription took all the fun out of exploring and I had no desire to just add to the Wish List (that would probably disappear anyway). I found myself just relying on Important Records/Cassauna to finish off the month. Not that that was a bad thing as I've enjoyed most of what I've downloaded, but it's time for a change. When I get finished the alphabet I may start on my wife's Classical CD and album collection, plus now I have $6.49/mon to spend at Bandcamp.
Ps- Thanks to Emusic and to everyone I've met along the way who've introduced me to some of the most interesting artists. I can't say I've quit but unless I hit the lotto, I've certainly stopped.
In a few weeks Confused you will be relieved you no longer need to search through eMusic to spend your monthly allowance. It took me ages each month before I left as there wasn't so much that I wanted. Some of the things I downloaded in the last few months I still habve not played. I purchase less at Bandcam and elsewhere, but I am getting quality rather than quantity. For much of my time at eMusic it was great, I downloaded so much great music, but it came to an end for me when I realised that many artists were not getting much if at all from my purcjases along with much less choice anyway
Early this year I missed my hold deadline and I got charged for an annual plan. Despite reaching out to emusic within days of noticing my error, they were unwilling to refund even a nickel of fee even though I hadn't downloaded 1 track. Great service after 16 years! As noted above, I now spend more time trying to find anything than I do actually listening to what I select. The only thing that adds to that misery is knowing that the artists aren't getting much, if anything.
I've sampled Important & Cassauna but found them just OK in terms of wanting to listen to what I've downloaded more than a few times. I've added NAAFI and Morphine to the high priority tier for exploration. Thanks for highlighting them. Sorry eMusic no longer floats your boat; if exploring the catalog isn't a pleasure, I don't know why anyone sticks around. I continue to believe there should be room for both Bandcamp and eMusic in one's downloading diet. If the masses who stream felt an iota of the moral compunctions we do on this forum, the music industry would be a much fairer and more just place.
Here's my emusic purchases from last month. Out of these Intimate Stranger, Shuma, Mary Hopkin, It's a Diferent Class and Lenine were all great albums.
Ребята нашего полка by Любэ. 4.99, 79 minutes, 21 tracks. Compilation of wildly popular Russian pop band who sing songs with an army theme. Goofy, sorrowful, beautiful, energetic, you never know what to expect from them.
Further by Intimate Stranger (4.99 for 17 tracks, 72 minutes). Incredible synthpop/dreampop band described as “gritty, dirty, calm and ethereal at the same time, with beautiful vocals”. This is a compilation of several albums and excellent overall. Tessie Stranger is the English/Croat vocalist, but the guitarist is Anglo-Chilean. I also liked Above which has many songs in the same style.
Pasca Hipnotis by It’s a Different Class. 4.49, 10 tracks, 48 minutes. Every song here is a delightful surprise; these songs have a cheerful, dreamy quality. Singing is great, and the arrangements are always clever and appropriate. The songs feel progressive or jazzy or sometimes even bluesy. HEY BIN is a really rousing song….
Zhnivo by Shuma. 10 tracks, 43 minutes, 4.49. Really beautiful and ethereal dreampop by a Belorussian girl’s group. Much much in the same territory as Ukraine’s Onuka or Russian/Kazakh singer Linda. This remarkable early album mixes the primitive folk with high end club electronica, with lovely folk-style singing by Rusia. Similar to Onuka, except that Shuma is all electronic and sampling. Later albums are slower & more meditative, but this album is a great introduction to their sound.
Two albums by Welsh folk singer Mary Hopkin (of “Those were the Days” fame). Here’s a great Live at the Royal Festival Hall 1972 (5.99, 13 tracks, 49 minutes) and Painting by Numbers (a later album with original songs). Also, here’s her website for the latest.
Sulinys by Babadag. 10 tracks, 57 minutes. Another gem from Karrot Kommando label (from Poland).
EPs from Moya Michelle (Моя Мишель): Дура (Deluxe Version) (5 tracks, 2.49) and Наивность. Часть 1 (3 tracks, 99 cents). Minor but lovely recordings by a young Russian pop singer before signing onto a major label. Here’s two vids here and here
Several eps by 9T Antiope. (bandcamp & website) These experimental music duo (from Paris and Iran) make eerie & distraught soundscapes that employ voice, violins, electronic glitch and environmental sounds. The most decidedly classical is Grimace (1.99, 24 minutes) which despite being “constructed” seems most to resemble a conventional performance of classic music with some electronic noises occasionally throw in. Ithmus sometimes devolves into mindless/distracting world of electronic glitch, but it’s balanced by the singer’s lovely voice and the incessant energy of the violin. Placebo (1.49, 40 minutes), feels more glitchy and droney, with much less emphasis on voice except as distant background. (I think the vocalist Sara Bigdeli Shamloo is reciting a poem). Everything blends very well. I’m less impressed by the other albums which seem louder and more glitchy, but I like this group so much I might get them later.
Percepcao by Poty, 99 cents, 38 minutes.
Posguerra by Dafne Castaneda, 7 tracks, 26 minutes, 1.49
What I've been doing is switching to the $6 monthly plan, buying $200 of credits (actually 75 dollars) and taking 3 months to spend that. Then putting my account as often as I can. There's a lot of hunting going on, and frankly I'm growing sick of browsing through compilation albums of meditation, ASMR stuff and labels which haven't added anything in years. I wouldn't mind the lack of USA albums as much as I do the lack of albums by up and coming artists... No more stinking compilation albums! (I mean, once in a while is okay, but....)
Lenine offers a lot to catch up on, and I'll make an exception to distrust of live albums if they're 99 cents. Looks like a good haul, and I still consider the lengthy browsing time part of the thrill of the chase. Sticking w/ the interesting labels that exist now, I doubt I'll ever run out. Thanks for sharing.
9T Antiope are interesting, I have Grimace and Isthmus. It's kind of weird that emusic has only the albums by them from Eilean Rec, and not the other 97 releases on the label. They even extracted their track from one of the compilation volumes and made it a "single".

Ps- Thanks to Emusic and to everyone I've met along the way who've introduced me to some of the most interesting artists. I can't say I've quit but unless I hit the lotto, I've certainly stopped.
