@Germanprof
I look forward to your always thoughtful remarks. -
I’m not sure how to judge music an artist chooses to give away for free or that is impossible to purchase for money (barter-only?, alternative currency?). I guess it’s nice for popular artists to acknowledge they don’t need the money, but might …

The prospect of owning every Temporary Residence album cheaply if the vaccine takes a while is a silver lining in sound.

Looks enticing to explore as always!

@idiotprogrammer
Not quite sure what you mean by copy/paste onto others. Linking to all 30+ posts would get unwieldy for being only moderately more accessible than… -
I think the era is correct for the Pseudonym label, but someone more interested can sample for actual prog rock: http…

I will definitely budget something for the Covid-19 day.

I had a half-used booster when eMusic went down and haven't explored what the placeholder site says about my credits. I haven't had any issues with credits being restored to what they should be, but someone's got a lot of math to do in addition to …
-
Thanks for clarification. I have trouble noticing when something is improvised in the first place but wondered if that made the jazz categorization more likely in and of itself despite it sounding a lot more like classical music. I mentioned those…
-
Wow! I figured there'd be people here who liked the style but didn't expect to hear from an artist. I feel guilty about going NYP on anything even if doing what little I can to promote it eventually. I hope the decision results in much wider expo…

Just ran into Iceberg, and it's no wonder I missed it on the label w/ nearly 2k titles: https://www.emusic.com/artist/rs_26483/Iceberg

Now THAT's a happy new year's worth to listen to. Better get on it! Funds are short or I'd be right there with you buying down the WL to a more reasonable #. A lot to explore there, and thanks for reminding about Friends of Dean Martinez.

@Germanprof only recognizing Frahm, Frisell, Herskedal, Loscil, and a few others, that's a lot of new stuff to explore, nicely organized as always. Thanks for sharing.
-
As long as cheap, fun stuff like that little label keeps popping up, the challenge of staying subscribed is worth it. Here's to more in 2020.

Great points, all. I think the “Monkey Music” article really resonates on a, well, primal level. However, I think it’s dead wrong to expect an open-minded person not to like music that wasn’t written for them or, more accurately, their particul…
-
I’m with @Germanprof about early Decembering these; always means next year’s lists having something from Dec. of the previous year. Structural problem, though, that nobody…

Very hard to resist reducing the WL size...we've inevitably got a lot of overlap drawing from a shallower well, but I'm excited to hear it.
-
May we one day cease to amaze.
-
@confused always impressed that you can find so much when most like so little. I've gotta slow down for the holidays, unfortunately.
-
@Plong42 It's always a surprise to know what people like, but light jazz? I dunno about that. Anything as broad as folk or jazz should have a big tent, I say. Yujun Wang &…
-
I always hesitate to put something that hard on a list. Glad to see your range extends that far!
-
The at least quasi-prog I just bought since this summer (therefore my top 10, but the numbers don’t mean anything) If the OP covered the classic and modern eras, consider these to be contemporary and less wedded to the label of prog rock— post-r…

Cool vid made my day. Thanks! Seeing the performance definitely adds something.
-
Agreed that the "Sisters" album is excellent, but I'd say it's more downtempo electronic than hip-hop. That reminds me to pick up the remix EP with one by BoC.
I do remember liking some borderline hip-hop from Boom Bip & Doseone th… -
I have a similar problem with world music as minimalist techno in that other than really egregious examples (i.e. washing everything over with cheesy keyboards or having terrible recording equipment) I am not really able to separate what I like from…
-
I remember coming across Bad Elephant and being skeptical, but with your endorsement I'll explore more.
-
Multimedia, in-depth music reviews like that are what we stand to lose if streaming devalues ownership, I think. If only more people could care about music half as much as that piece, the world would be a much better place. Very nice writing, info…

Definitely heard a defanged Metallica and Nirvana song in a grocery store before...scary stuff. Like the mirror image of "hooked on classics" trying to bring the composers up to 1970s disco age, those who just want to make a buck while getting into…
