Open Music Call

Okay, this is me calling for music recommendations. I've an account with emusic.ca at the moment(which could change at the drop of a hat), so...?

Not sure what you mean...

You should be able to see the stuff I've downloaded from emusic by looking at http://www.emusic.com/profile/downloads.html?showArtists=true&nickname=semtex but there's a lot to look through (1128 artists, though some of them are no longer available).

What sort of music are you generally into? I've downloaded punk, electronic, alt.country, jazz, reggae, classical, soul, and a heck of a lot more there.

I am in love with Leonard Cohen, Moby, k. d. lang and Rickie Lee Jones. All tend to the laid back side.

Michael Chapman (if you can find MILLSTONE GRIT, it's particularly excellent), especially DOGS GOT MORE SENSE (aka ORIGINALS on eMusic), but also FULLY QUALIFIED SURVIVOR, RAINMAKER, AMERICANA 1 & 2, THE TWISTED ROAD, and, if you can find it, PLEASURES OF THE STREET. I'd skip HEARTBEAT, however, which is Chapman going new agey.

John Martyn
Richard Thompson
Fela Anikulepo Kuti (eMusic has pretty much everything the last I looked)
Jah Wobble
Bill Laswell
Peter Hammill (Thin Air is excellent)
Van Der Graaf Generator's TRISECTOR
Bill Nelson
Porcupine Tree (and Steven Wilson, and No-Man amongst the offshoots.)

I recommend also going over to http://jamendo.com and rifling through their growing list of releases, all of which are free to download. I rather like The TenGooz, amongst others.

The works of Arnold Bax. Also, Malcolm Arnold.

And for a slightly perverse capper -- The Edgar Broughton Band. Gutbucket social-issues rock from 1970s Britain.
