jmjk Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Surely many of you remember emusic's $10/mo. for unlimited downloads policy from a few years back. I recall my wife asking me when I'd find time to listen to all of this music. Well, I'm still finding time 5 years later! This past weekend's saunter through my old 80GB slave hard drive (I know some of you bought extra hard drives also ) revealed many Fantasy/OJC files never even opened since I downloaded them from emusic. One such artifact was Steve Lacy's Evidence album, with Don Cherry. I REALLY like this! It's not quite as cerebral as the music both artists would produce later. I was surprised at how this date swings. Any of you out there just getting around to some emusic winnings from way back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the Lacy disc since it was first issued in the early '60s and it is still a favorite. You should follow his career chronologically for more discoveries. Word to the wise - Hard Talk is reissued at good prices on the net. Fine date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Skid Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I also had the unlimited plan for awhile, and these three recordings come to mind immediately: Mal Waldron With Eric Dolphy And Booker Ervin: The Quest Steve Lacy Plays Thelonious Monk: Reflections Cecil Taylor: Looking Ahead! I've since bought the CDs, but these were among the undiscovered gems in a 30GB of MP3 files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Storer Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 The other day I glanced at my account page on emusic and felt a pang of nostalgia when I saw "Member since Jan. 2002." Oh, those unlimited downloads! I too have scads of stuff I'm still getting through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm sure I'm getting close to being burned out on always being "on the hunt." I buy way, way too much stuff... I need to just sit back an re-visit all this stuff, which includes Gigs and Gigs of unlistened to stuff from emusic..com. I still always find stuff every month there...65 downloads a month. Still the best deal on the 'net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyhersom Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I started redownloading the Prestige/Contemporary catalog a few months back, got about halfway through before disk space indicated taking a break from the endeavor. Too bad about the Koch Jazz disappearances, many things I have on burn only and would have to re-rip to get mp3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
