SOME NEW DEXTER ON EMUSIC

:tup

Have you heard it yet? It's an odd lineup. I like George Duke, but ...

I had this as an LP on Everest (called "Gordon's Gotham"). Good playing, but sound quality's a bit iffy - sounds like a recording from the audience, and Dexter's not exactly on mic. George Duke acquits himself, though - he plays pretty nicely.

I recently downloaded Roswell Rudd's Malicool, which is on emusic. As discussed elsewhere it is an intriguing mix of trombone and West African instruments. Emusic also has the Roswell Incident, which I will probably download, and Blue Mongol, which I will probably take a pass on.

Posted

Hmm according to AMG, Blue Mongol is far more adventurous than The Roswell Incident. The sound clips of Blue Mongol I heard didn't really grab me, but I can try to listen to more to make an informed opinion. I do see that the Glen Hall CD Hallucinations, which also features Rudd, is on emusic. This CD does grab me the most, but it is one track over my limit for the month.

Posted

I d/l a few of the Sunnysides this month. I think Steve Kuhn Trio's Quiereme Mucho is brand new (to emusic). Dave Holland's Overtime has been on emusic a bit longer. There are a handful of Sunnyside's still not up on emusic that really grabbed me. Hopefully they will be added in Jan/Feb, or I will drop them a note asking about them.

Posted

While I do like emusic, I agree that it would be better to move towards a file size limit, rather than a one-track-fits-all mentality. Ironically, some of the dodgy Russian sites do that, but not emusic or iTunes. For instance, no way am I going to waste a download on a 30 second track, which rules out an awful lot of Zorn's material, since I don't want to download only part of an album. By the way, I'm glad they added the new Tzadik material, but what gives with some of these partial albums? There are four CDs by Otomo Yoshihide and not a single one has all the tracks available.

Posted

I think the deal excluded tracks longer than a certain duration, 15-20 minutes perhaps?

Well that may be, but that's quite stupid on both eMusic's and Tzadik's part. As I said, I am not about to download only part of an album, and if you read comments sprinkled throughout eMusic, most people feel the same. It would be better not to include those albums. Now if they wanted to move towards a size limit and charge you two downloads for a song over 15-20 minutes, as well as letting you download a couple of under 1 minute songs to count as one download, that would spark more interest in this Tzadik material, which I think would benefit both parties.

Interesting that Husker Du is not mentioned in their list of notable SST artists. IMO, Husker Du, Sonic Youth and The Minutemen were the best bands SST ever had. (You can make an argument for the Bad Brains too, but their best stuff came before SST).

Perhaps its due to the ongoing feud / legal action between SST and the band? Bob Mould discusses the situation in detail in the latest issue of the Big Takeover magazine. Essentially, the label hasn't been paying royalties to the band in years and continues to rerelease and repackage the band's work.

From what I've heard (including directly from certain artists), the same is true of just about everyone on SST. I don't want to delve to far into rumor-mongering, but from what I've been told, the people running SST aren't necessarily malicious, but they, umm.... don't really "have it together". If emusic pays royalties directly to the bands in addition to cutting a second check to the label, this could work out much better for SST's artists.

Hi All,

For those of us here who downloaded some of the great stuff off the Blood & Fire label on eMusic, I would like to point out that you can download PDF copies of the liner notes to most of the albums on Blood & Fire's website. Just go to the individual albums, and you'll see a link to "Download Liner Notes".

I also noticed a massive sale at the Blood & Fire website, with many CD's being sold for ₤4.25... that's a hell of a deal!

Once again, if you dig reggae and/or dub music, I strongly suggest you pick up most anything on this label!

Cheers,

Shane

I see they have added two albums by Fieldwork (or maybe Field Work), which is a trio Vijay Iyer is a member of. I don't know too much about this group, but I like Iyer a lot, so will download both albums when my downloads refresh.

Eric Kloss - several Prestige 2-fers are available on eMusic. I've never heard of this cat, but Scott Yanow (I know) gives him props and says he could hold his own when he was a youngster. Anyway, I just found out that one of Booker Ervin's last recordings was on Kloss's In the Land of Giants, which is available on eMusic. Anyone have any thoughts on this or the other Kloss albums? I'll probably download it next week.
