I liked Quaristice quite a bit on my first listen, seemed a bit more accessible than some recent efforts (CONFELD onwards), though I wonder how much of that is just due to the shorter tracks. I grabbed a few Warp things: that, Squarepusher, Clark, …

It's an interesting question. Certainly emusic couldn't consolidate catalogs and prices across the two alone, because then no one would subscribe. eMusic kicks amie's ass in catalog, I've no idea if a merger would indicate greater catalog overlap.…

Nels Cline's work fits the general bill, and I have not forgotten my promise to dig up 5 rockin' tracks for you. But in the meantime, in that direction I bet you would like this:

Craig, haha, funny too. I am not very kind to my wife about avoiding stuff she doesn't like, and she tolerates most of it, though rarely tolerates sinewave-type stuff.

amclark2, re: The Breadwinner in the car, funny. Did you buy that from Erstwhile? Did you buy anything else?

I love Stereolab, but one interesting thing about them to me is that they seem to just be making one career-long album - that may sound bad, but it's not. A new album comes out, and after a couple listens the songs start to sound so comfortable and…

Oh man, lol, think that's the winner! A candy-sprinkled ass seems so obvious in retrospect...

I don't really follow the 'evil corporation' logic. Whether you care or not about corporate suffering, the artist loses money either directly (through sales losses) or indirectly (through less profitable future contracts due to corporate losses) wh…

Mildly fun, but low on the inspiration scale, something that to my ears has increasingly plagued Prince for 15-odd years (I qualify as a fan through, say, Gold). As pop-rock opera, it's way better than his worst example: "3 Chains o' Gold" f…

Doofy: (Quote) No, amclark2 specifically raised the issue of reselling, and I was addressing only that bit. The bit about depriving authors of sales can be seen if the whole purchase scenario was a one-read Mission-Impossible-self-destruct kinda …

If one considers the old-fashioned concept of a single sale is made in exchange for a single recipient's use, a used sale doesn't "deprive" the producer (artist) of a sale at all - the artist made one sale, and one person has use of it (that more th…

I read that as a backspace-glitched "vince's subjects" referring to my jokey invocation of an objective test procedure for deciding the thread's answer.

Nimbus Records remains a cheap (non-album-priced) label for fine Indian classical releases.

(Quote) Not only is Erstwhile one of the premier labels in electro-acoustic-improv-related music (I'm a completist of that catalog, and am glad to offer suggestions if you want some), but they also run a fine in What are you listening to right now? Comment by kargatron February 2010

amclark2, seek out Lambkin/Lescalleet's The Breadwinner if you're unfamiliar (and the rest of the Erstwhile catalog if you happen to not know it). (But maybe listening to…

Listening to Tilt now on lala, it's great, hafta get it sometime.
-
amclark2, your mention of grabbing Tilt there really stuck in my craw, lacking during the sale the time to browse through the catalog to find such goodies. But cool, since you mentioned it, I checked and can at least listen once on lala.

(Quote) thom, you can stream at least 3 live gigs of this band at Previte's bandcamp site. That should soften the sting a bit. Browse there for a handful of free tracks from various…

Thanks for that pointer, BT, I was unfamiliar with Slow, but it sounded pretty good on first listen.
Because I'm posting in this thread, I'll note a couple freebies from Bobby Previte, from his self-released live stuff on bandcamp:

That ECM Rarum box was a great deal, lots of good music on that, and I only had a handful of dupes. Did take me forever to retag everything track by track though. Finally done.
-
Yeah, the one-free-listen aspect is really an amazing resource, well past any previous sampling tool post-original-Napster.

Here's a really great contemporary large ensemble jazz record, a favorite from last year:

Speaking of Charlie Hunter, I'm a big fan of this Bobby Previte album he is prominently featured on: The Coalition of the Will…

SRM, I can dig up 5 rockin' Nels Cline tracks if you want. I can do V5 also, given some time, but not off top of head.
(I'm assuming you are not asking for 5 track albums, like some above have responded.) -
There is indeed a fair amount of bargain Black Saint/Soul Note on Amazon, compared to the emu album-pricing model. E.g. Rova's 50 min version of in Lots of Blue Note at Amazon for $3.98 Comment by kargatron February 2010

I'm curious, will your music expenditures go up or down after cancellation? Where will they divert to?

The Music has always remained the caketaker for me. Dorky beyond my capacity to describe.

(Quote) Jonah, since you know about lala now, why ever point to 30 second samples? Most of Horvitz's albums seem available there for full streaming.
