Bargains on the new eMusic
For those of us exploring the new pricing structure on emusic it seems worthwhile to start a thread to log bargain prices on albums on the new site. I guess this might overlap with our bargains and mispriced box sets thread, but many of these seem not so much necessarily mistakenly priced or outrageous or seven hours long, but rather just cheaper albums on emusic, especially albums where the price has gone down on the new site. We can still use the other thread for more general great deals.
Here are a few of the ones I have found so far:
Hotel Neon - Remnants (4 tracks, 33 minutes, $1.99 US) (Ambient/drone)
Horace Parlan - Joe Meets the Rhythm Section ( 6 tracks, 39 minutes, $3.99 US) (Jazz)
Alonefold - Wanderer and Stone (3 tracks, 1 hour 3 minutes, 99 cents US) (Ambient/drone)
Alonefold - Nirvana Haze (1 hour 2 minutes, 1 track, 49 cents US) (Ambient/drone)
Ensemble Vocal Européen and Philippe Herreweghe - Lassus: Lagrime di San Pietro (28 tracks, 59 minutes, $3.99 US) (Classical) (This last one is on Harmonia Mundi which is broken right now. But when they fix it there is a whole series of their titles bargain priced at $3.99)

Comments
De Machaut: Sacred and Secular Music 4.99. 189 minutes
Kamasi Washington's The Epic $6.49 (this double album used to be priced at 8.99. Now it's a normal price). Highly rated fusion jazz.
9 hours for $3.99?! (Avante-garde French composer who died 10 years ago. Field recordings mixed with John Cage/Stockhausen-like pieces).
eta Also the Luaka Bop William Onyeabor Box Set - also that big Kinks Anthology, for the moment
Much as I don't like the new $6.99 price point I approve of the new $4.99 and $3.99 price points :-)
And the Naive label has a lot of really excellent classical releases at $4.99.

EDIT: looks like the zip size may be too much for emusic's servers/software - my purchase and subsequent dl attempt is tanking. Once I ask for support's help, 50/50 they realize the mistake and refund me rather than create the dl.
