eMusic Enjoy as we connect the Wu-Tang Clan to Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Ultimate Breaks & Beats, soul singer Syl Johnson, Thelonius Monk and... Hall & Oates.

Source: www.emusic.com
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. ...

eMusic This
feature is for SERIOIUS techno fans. Our writer looks at key techno
labels e.g. Delsin, Ostgut-Ton,Clone and Rush Hour, and shows how
recent years have seen a growing number of musicians turning away from
technological determinism and toward reviving classic techno styles.

Source: www.emusic.com
Techno is deeply grounded in a futurist impulse of a very specific kind: namely, the desire of a generation of mostly African-American producers to escape the ruins of '80s Detroit, which they did by fusing black American soul traditions with the sci-fi possibilities of European electronic pop. ...

eMusic All right UK peeps - here's one that's not on the US site until tomorrow. The Strokes' Julian Casablancas' solo record, "Phrazes for the Young," is out today. Our reviewer calls Casablancas "as wizened and cranky as a middle-aged Lou Reed" but sez the new record is "an unexpected sugar rush." What do you think?

eMusic Simon & Garfunkel reunited (again) to play a benefit for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in NYC this weekend. Check out our Icons feature for an overview of their complete catalogue "in order of importance." Didn't Art Garfunkel have a cameo on a TV show recently?

eMusic Have you checked out our Embrace the Album page yet? Lots of cool music-related updates. Become a fan!

In a world of digital ephemera, one-off MP3s, and fragmented audiences, music recordings are in danger of becoming disposable and impersonal. Every other week, another pundit proclaims the album has become a relic of the past. We disagree. We believe that The Album is a cohesive artistic statement with an importa...nt and lasting role in pop culture, and that rumors of its death are greatly exaggerated. Would anyone claim that Radiohead’s In Rainbows is just a "collection of singles"? Or that Funeral by Arcade Fire is best appreciated one song at a time? The album isn't merely enduring in its recorded format -- the Pixies, Bruce Springsteen, Devo, Van Morrison, Steely Dan and more have taken to performing complete albums live in concert. Green Day’s American Idiot is being staged as a rock musical with a Tony-winning director. Beck and guest musicians are reinterpreting classic albums like The Velvet Underground & Nico for his “Record Club” on Beck.com. Vinyl sales are increasing, and digital music retailers like eMusic -- this site’s sponsor -- cater to fans that value experiencing albums in their entirety. This community is, quite simply, a hub in celebration of the album— both the mainstream and the underexposed. This is a place to highlight records that are best consumed whole. We want to hear from you – which albums changed the way you thought about music? Which albums are a start-to-finish experience for you? And which albums could you not bear to dismantle? Embrace music the way the artist intended: Embrace the Album. Read more

eMusic Our reviewer is drooling about The Editors: "Here are nine lean tracks alchemized from fizzing electronics and
thrumming guitars into black gold. This, in short, is a brilliant
album: impassioned, heavy, important, tuneful, head-nodding and
heart-exploding."

eMusic Oh baby, this is so up my alley: "lyrics in Neapolitan, English, French,
Italian and Spanish gently crooned over elements of jazz, bossa nova,
samba, early '70s pop, classical and bygone film soundtracks. In an era dominated by fear, Pink Martini offers gentility as an antidote."
