eMusic Picks - The Origin
Finally, someone I know has also signed up for eMusic, the independent alternative to the iTunes Store and others which focus primarily on the “Big Four” major labels. Since I already obsessively review the New On eMusic listings for notable releases, I started collating recommendations as well, which in turn reactivated the mostly-dormant music critic in my head. Might as well share those efforts, which far from full reviews (eMusic taps into AllMusicGuide for that), are aimed at just giving a sense of why out of the thousands of albums that are added each month these few are worth considering. Enjoy!
