All the Frente Bolivarista label stuff was great -- though Soltar was the most interesting/accessible/fun. (all are 99 cents). Here's the BC camp pageJust wanted to say: I've been sampling (albeit slowly) most of your recs from this and other thread. Good, interesting stuff....Seriously, that label has some wickedly cool stuff:
…Premier Records Africa has some amazing classic Afrobeat/Highlife . https://www.emusic.com/label/966685/Premier-Records-Africa
Generally they have 30…"like a trip to the dentist..." wow, what a metaphor. My public library (Houston) is missing a lot of classic recordings, but will nonetheless buy the "lullaby rock" version of them.
At one point, the library system did not have any Pink…This Chile rock net label Armatoste Brazo Discográfico has about 30-40 albums on bandcamp which are pay what you want. All …I have been positively flipping about the Chili punk rock band Fasat Alfa from the Armatoste Brazo Discográfico label.. ABD has 3 releases by Fasat Alfa -- but I noted that Bandcamp has in Estudios Hispánicos: eMusic Labels from the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America Comment by idiotprogrammer September 2019Albania-wise I was 1995-7 (BTW, corrected that youtube link for Eli Fara from previous post). I'm sure you've noticed that most of the labels have their albums on bandcamp, so you can do full previews.Wow, this is great stuff. I can't wait to discover ultra-low cost stuff. (Enjoyed your Label page on your personal website btw). I came back from a break and am now sampling a lot of this stuff (my purchase list is here). Unfortunately I've been che…This really makes my day. I used to love browsing through that sound museum. It seems that the grid has a proportionately small number of samples, but I suspect that they can be added over time..Over the last week I've been finding some great budget stuff (see my 3 related postings). As much as I bitch about how albums keep disappearing, I al…More stuff from the Sublime Frequencies label (bandcamp link). They produce lots of ethnic/African/Asian stuff.Looks like I'm going to be digging through the low-priced titles again. I'll be posting my finds over the next month. By the way, really enjoyed the Sorabi title mentioned above.

From the same label, here's in Bargains on the new eMusic Comment by idiotprogrammer April 2019Sorry to hear you go. I still enjoy sorting through the chaff -- and btw, thanks for the experimental classical album you recently posted on the budget thread. Although I'm seeing some meager pickings, I actually use the streaming app often to strea…Might not be everybody's thing, but there are several Main Arena EDM compilations at bargain prices.Yes, when you buy an album, the URL changes slightly. For some reason you can't view albums or the price unless you are logged in. I bought this at 99 cents. Maybe it's no longer true. The correct album was this one: in Bargains on the new eMusic Comment by idiotprogrammer March 2019A year ago I made a huge haul of Indonesian albums at bargain prices. Among my favorites is this compilation album of 1970s singer Tetty Kadi.…With regard to the Solarstone techno/trance, if you exclude the separate mixes, it amounts to a "mere" 5 hours. There are lots of "edits" (instead of full tracks). that generally is a bad thing, but most are over 6 minutes, which is better. Overall,…The French label of African music, Afro-Rythmes has some nice Congolese stuff. 30 minute albums from the 1980s costing like 99 cents.Wow, the William Parker is a real find. It's terrific. Fun fact: one of the live performances on the William Parker album was at DiverseWorks in Houston. I have lived in Houston almost all my life and although they have all sorts of great cutting-ed…Two of my favorite emusic purchases are now at half the price they used to be. Both are double albums
