(Quote)Yeah, I really think they should be renamed eZombie, because they have been the walking dead (or is it undead?) for quite some time now. I guess when you avoid pesky expenses like actually paying labels …(Quote)Yep, that was one of them. eMusic can't deliver any music of interest anymore, and they are stealing from the very artists they proclaim to be championing, but HEY, they can sign up advisors who have spoken at…Yeah, dozens more labels gone as of yesterday - looks perhaps like the remainder of the Believe distribution catalogue (based on anecdotal evidence that RareNoise is among those gone and just posted in the reddit forum a couple weeks ago mentioning …Some crossover, classically-tinged orchestral jazz from a perhaps under-appreciated UK composer, Mike Westbrook, who had a nice recent write-up in the Guardian:Some new Matthew Shipp on ESP Disk' at eMusic:
Well, they have to run out of money at some point. I think they are hanging on by a thread in hopes that the magic pile of beans that is their ICO/reverse ICO push will suddenly appear and save them. But "save them" would mean their new blockchai…My view is that 2018 is the year eMusic died. They have been in decline since TriPlay bought the company (well, let's say an accelerated decline following that acquisition), but last year was the year they officially seemed to give up on the…eMusic in the news for all the wrong reasons...
From Digital Music News, in an article about crypto scams involving rap artists, for which eMusic is mentioned towards the end of the article:
Last Marc…
On the positive side, RareNoiseRecords just posted to an earlier thread on the eMu subreddit forum saying they are still alive and well and weren't sure why some late 2018 releases never showed up. After some investigation, they seem to have …(Quote)In ex-US only. :-((Quote)The label is still present, but no new releases in the past 12 months. (Last release - and only 2018 release - was from Feb 2018).What's not to like here? Great modern jazz tunes and arrangements. Myra Melford on piano. Ben Goldberg on clarinet. Kirk Knuffke on trumpet/cornet. Jenny Scheinman on violin. And a rhythm section of Allison Miller and Todd…More new jazz at eMusic today... in this case, the release from Binker Golding (of Binker & Moses fame) and Elliot Galvin:
Three of the albums recommended in the latest "Best of Jazz on Bandcamp" column by @jonahpwll are, amazingly, available on eMusic. Here is his post:
A bit of a shocker given the state of things, but the new Jamie Saft is not only available on eMusic, but showed up on/near its release date (Jan 25) and is priced at $4.99 in US (probably similar ex-US with per-track pricing).
Great list, as always @jonahpwll . I particularly like that you focus on some off-the-beaten-track artists that don't get the attention they deserve. And I always enjoy the…Some interesting jazz coming down the pike, including the "debut" from Phronesis drummer, Anton Eger...Maybe labels and artists aren't the only ones not getting paid... maybe they stopped paying to back-up their cloud storage. ;-) (Seriously, it makes no sense that they would say "there's nothing we can do about it"). If they are offering cloud…Welcome, @HelloCthulhu ! Emusic woes aside (and, yes, they do still get discussed here, mainly in this thread, blissfully free of the eMusic thought police), I've found e…@djh I would contact customer support if music you purchased in the past few years is missing from your "My Music" catalogue. They have acknowledged that purchases made many years…Yeah, there is an active thread about it on their subreddit. eOstrich keeps putting its head in the sand and pretending they have no control over the labels leaving, despite the fact that the labels are leaving solely because eMusic is literally s…Not sure how long this sale lasts, but Whirlwind is having what they call a "Rebranding Sale" on virtually their entire catalogue on Bandcamp.
