Recent eMusic Scores

It's a shoppin spree when my eMusic subscription rolls over, and this time I think I managed to use my allowance quite wisely.

El Michels Affair "Enter The 37th Chamber" is a fairly decent collection of instrumental Wu Tang Clan covers - I compare it to a twice-baked lasagna of instruments covering samples of instruments.

Melvin Gibbs's Elevated Entities is an intriguing meld of hip-hop and funk with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and melodies. He's a criminally underrated bassist and strong composer. Get it now.

And finally, Greg Tate's Burnt Sugar The Arkestra does a great job of updating the 70s Miles Davis sound and the hinted-at Sun Ra influence. It still has a power and freshness to it, so it's definitely worth a listen.
