eMusic Take a languid pace of life perfect for musical tinkerers, add cheap
rents, nice weather, non-competitive club scenes, huge college towns,
an oppositional relationship with big cities and big media, plus the
fact that being weird in a traditionally conservative culture actually
means risking something — you've got a perfect recipe for top shelf
indie-rock.

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. ...

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 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?

It's ironic that eMusic sponsors a group like that since eMusic's business model is really setup for people that 'snipe singles' and can penalize people who like full albums. A lot of the Electronic and Industrial artists that I listen to tend to have ~1min intro tracks, or transition tracks that are 1-2 minutes. As a fan I want to buy the album - ... Read Morebut then I think.. do I really want to burn one of my download credits on an intro track? I just bought Modulate - Detonate and track 1 was 0:27 of an increasingly loud feedback... so glad I used a credit on that one! Not only that but what happens in a month that I end up with 10 credits left and the album is 11 tracks? I gotta buy a booster or remember to get that last track the next month.

My experience with the album as a coherent whole started with The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute. Though I am a fan of some soundtracks, which I belive really can't be listened to except as a whole, it was my first experience honestly feeling a story being told. After that, Patrick Wolf's Wind in the Wires became an album I couldn't listen to the ... Read Moretracks separately. Most recently for me, I have been listening to Poe's Haunted. The disparate style of the different tracks are brought together through the similar theme and the interjections and interludes. In fact, I made a playlist with the album which on shuffle completely recontextualized most of the songs for me, making me think that Haunted may be one of the creepiest albums I have ever heard.
Going back to Frances the Mute, the arrangement makes me think of another element to the modern album: they are essentially a replacement and/or the evolution of the classical symphonies. Nevertheless, in this world of pick and choose music, we can say that though albums are undeniably the original artists creation meant to be taken as a whole, anyone who creates a playlist is simply creating a recontextualized work using the pieces in it. Though not the intent of the original artist or the playlist creator, it doesn't change the fact that the music is given a new meaning when played with pieces it was not originally meant to be with.

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."
