  • Still feeling some loss about Molina. Always loved his music for his ability to move into his pain, to let his music ride where so few are willing to actually tread. Tough to know that his ability to express that came with his inability to handle it.

  • I'm having to download ECM in waves. I love ECM's stuff, but how many ECM albums can I listen to in a row? My current strategy is to find smaller labels and go through their catalogs. Just went through Astralweeks (Kings of Convenience, Beth Orton, …

  • Here I was hoping for a comeback. Mtraks was the closest I've come to the original eMu experience. Will be missed.

    You know I haven't used Emusic since the Sony drop and my grandfathered account ended, but man, I miss it. Thank goodness…
  • My goodness yesterday was a rash of download-now. Had that nervous Mtrak feeling of soon-to-be-gone-get-your-credits-used-up. Twelve albums. Ah. Thanks Thom for that list. I hadn't even thought to look for Souldive and Stevie Wonder albums - both of…

  • Thanks to all those suggestions folks. So much click and store fun. I'm getting quite backlogged in my listening, well over a eighty new albums I've yet to listen to. Some of those are experimental web labels, a few from the local library, some from…

  • Thanks for the dance partner. Liking Burger King's not in my future. Great, great fun.

  • Didn't Roger Waters make an album from farts and other savory sounds of the body? Can't leave that out.
  • The thrill slowly fades. I saw this morning that "3" has become the new "5" which had previously been "7". Could never bring myself to advertise for obesity and garbage plastic despite musical greed. But so much good music to enjoy. Grateful to have…

  • You know I somewhat checked - out of curiosity and a few moments of at-work-check-out-time - to see if the Paste Top 50 were on Guvera. Not too surprising to say I only found one, but the one was their top choice. If it hasn't already been said, Fra…

  • I'm feeling fairly satiated nowadays, or at least not worth advertising for some rather ethically putrid corporations in Playskool and McD. Great fun though. I'll take the new five a day for a while longer. Hope this works out for Guvera though. I a…

  • I still haven't had any problems save when their site went down completely. Very few artists - and I have an extensive collection - are automatic buys/downloads for me. One of those is Christian Scott and they have tons of his albums. Great, great …

  • I have over eighty albums now from Guvera - all free, all without any images. But these are free, and so is Music Bee and MediaMonkey, even Windows Media Player, and those programs can clean up those tags and add album art with less than thirty seco…

  • BTW, I didn't notice the manner to get free credits because my ad remover for Firefox blocked them out. Anyone have Virgin Records recs? I love Ben Harper, but lots of unfamiliars on there for me.

  • I'm missing something here. How are you guys getting credits? Am I denied as someone who refuses to share out on FB? Is that what this comes down to?

  • Excited to see Polyvinyl has joined the hoopla.

  • That Cheb album is excellent, and Six Degrees has three full albums available now.

  • The dreaded waiting on venture capital. Can you still use the service for their limited selections?
  • You know the unintended structure of the service is label jumping. I imagine each label expects people to stay on for several months, which I haven't done. Morr Music stole the show for me though in terms of quality and number of fun releases. Now I…

  • I dig the overture. I typically get wrapped up in one label anyway, just wish they could put out some B-list back catalog for kicks. I'm waiting for more small labels to go Magnatune where they make their entire catalog available for download for a …

  • Some absolutely amazing stuff there, including some of my favorite rap and desert rock. Has that always been free? I'm feeling a little guilty, and I usually have no issues at all with free by artist/label design.
  • I hope they straighten it out before the thread gets revised, "Well, that may be the end of Mtraks for me" Noticed a JazzCat label that has a ton of classic jazz artists with albums I've never heard of.
  • Basketball's early John Elway, always in the final dance, never winning the prize. Miami still gets to the finals though. Can't see them losing to the Pacers, Old Man Boston, and Overachieving by Other Team's Injuries Philly.

  • You could argue the order of the list,but hard to find fault otherwise.

    I like Robert Glasper, but he does move from on-the-edge-of-brilliance to -confoundedly-cliche. Fun to always check out his stuff at the least.
  • Exactly. Sports is about emotional projection, keeping yourself shielded from the dangers of intimacy while you frantically shout swear words at strangers. While spiritual transcendence is a healthy alternative, this beats beating up somebody.

  • You know I've been meaning to post this and get some suggestions as well. I'm timing out from Mtraks after running amuck to drain my 75 dls. Got there, but needed more time going through back catalogs than I really have right now.

    Still…
  • Some excellent stuff here. I've had "The Crow" going a few times through and has some great experimentation while being intimately listenable. Almost a rarity.
  • jonahpwll -- Some fabulous recs on that list - salivating for my downloads to refresh this week. What a great label I've sadly never heard of.

    BTW, I've also liked Heartless Bastards, and have been always disappointed in their albums, p…
  • That redesign just killed me and my emu account. I still cherish those fun years of pre-Sony eMu. I have over eight hundred albums on my hard drive courtesy of that time, and I felt inspired to start exploring the musical kingdom. That said, between…
  • Frankie Rose album's also on Mtraks.
