Re: eMusic Anyone?

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

I love eMusic, have been with them for three years or so. Thanks for the 
lists, I'm going to check all that stuff out. Early on I focused more 
stockpiling things like Monk and Bach in bulk, recently I've been more 
adventurous. Here are a few I've found rewarding:

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
- Philip Glass, Symphonies 2 & 3
- John Adams, Shaker Loops

Cuong Vu
- everything (Art, I really like "Pure" as well.)

Derek Bailey
- Improvisation
- Music & Dance

Devin Sarno
- Full dynamics-frequency Spectrum (ambient dark loveliness)

Fantomas
- Delirium Cordia (god, I love this record...through-composed ambient 
metal)

Hilmar Jensson
- Meg Nem Sa (interesting nu jazz guitar player)

Human Feel
- Speak to It (Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jim Black, et al)

Jaga Jazzist
- The Stix (thanks Rick, for the rec)

John Butcher
- London & Cologne (solo sax, awesome)

Marc Ribot
- Spiritual Unity
- Sounds Of A Distant Episode (w/Fred Frith)

Mat Maneri
- Blue Decco

Mountains
- Mountains (very minimal sort of instrumental indie-chamber-pop)

Nels Cline/Wally Shoup/Greg Campbell
- Suite Bittersweet

Nils Petter Molvaer
- ER

Peter Brotzmann
- F*ck de Boere

So Percussion
- all their stuff, especially Amid the Noise

Vandermark 5
- Elements of Style, Exercises in Surprise

Tim Berne
- The Shell Game (super-long tunes, and very much worth the time)

Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant
- Sister Phantom Owl Fish

Zoe Keating
- live at Schubas
