I love emusic.com

I have to say that I am very happy with my emusic subscription. I would never have gotten some of the music I have now otherwise.

Bill Laswell - Hashisheen: The End of Law
A very psychedelic experience with authors reading from their books. Simply amazing.
Generally, Bill Laswell is amazing

Ventures - Surfing
A compilation of lots of surf like songs, instrumental and great to listen to on the sidelines

Groove Collection - It’s all in your mind
Great groove, simple as that.

Peter Rybar, violin, and Marcelle Rybar, piano - The Rybar Due Play …
Classical stuff and them playing Bohuslaw Martinu: Sonate Nr. 3 is very enjoyable.

Bass Factor - Bass Factor
Hard to explain, love it. Drum n bass, technoisch

Various Artists - Bomb Hip Hop - Revenge of the B-Boy
Very cool. “Some people compose songs … Dr. Rubberfunk de-compose. Now here to write some very nice songs, like this next one.”

Jeep Jazz Project - Digital Flavor on the Sonic Frontier
Jazz Funk Fusion, or something. Feel da groove ;)
Universal Being - Elephant Fusion
Now this is weird. Period. But good.

Various Artists - Fearless Records - Punk goes Pop
Punk bands playing pop songs. “Get this party Started!!!” ;)
Bass Mekanik - Download
One of their picks and I love it. Unclassifiable reads my iTunes Genre

Great stuff all in all.

    El disco empieza con fuerza, con una música capaz de crear un clima de inquietante fascinación. No obstante a medida que transcurren las pistas, el disco se ve lastrado por la voz que por encima de la música ejerce de narración, y que termina produciendo un cieto cansancio en el oyente.

  2. Are you still a big fan of emusic?

    Now that there are lots of alternatives, and iTunes seems to be very big, I’m wondering if your opinion has changed….

    Well… tough question. I didn’t use eMusic in a long time, so I’d say no. They are no longer a subscription service from what I hear so that makes it a lot more expensive and a lot less special too. I now looked at allofmp3.com which looks rather nice. Doesn’t seem to have too much music though, but it has the right price.
