Various - DUB SELECTOR

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/various-dub-selector.html

Pretty much Quango Records' breaded butter, this dubby #Downtempo style. Sometimes a little jazzy too, but not so much this comp'.

Various - COSMIC FUNK

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/various-cosmic-funk.html

I made a quip about how J5's 'Quality Control' was the only 'Q'-titled album I had, which was true back then. A decade later, I've since added seven more 'Q' records. Even niftier, all of those purchases came via #Bandcamp, though it'd be a few months before I really started using the app to its full potential.

JURASSIC 5 - Quality Control

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/jurassic-5-quality-control.html

It's weird to think I may be overselling this 'backpack' rap classic, but sometimes getting folks digging on back-to-basics #HipHop is a herculean effort. Folks always prefer the bad boys, y'know?

AMON TOBIN - Piranha Breaks

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/amon-tobin-piranha-breaks.html

Oof, yeah, I remember that week all too well. Got through it, thankfully, but one of the rare instances when Real Life seeped into Music Blogging Life.

BURIAL - BURIAL

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/burial-burial.html

Well of course I'd have something proper to say about Burial, even if it took me over two years to get there. He didn't have that robust a discography, see, especially a decade ago.

WU-TANG CLAN - A Better Tomorrow

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/wu-tang-clan-better-tomorrow.html

How has it been a decade now, and this remains the Wu's last album? Right, technically that ultra-rare one is, but no one really cares about 'Once Upon A Time In Shaolin' - how could they, if they never hear it?

I dunno', it just feels weird that the Clan hasn't reconvened for something proper in ten years. Not that they need to, just weird, is all.

GHOSTFACE KILLAH - 36 Seasons

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/ghostface-killah-36-seasons.html

Man, did I ever enjoy this period of Mr. Coles' career, fully embracing whatever wild concept was springing to his mind. Creativity with no filter, and the skill to pull it off.

CROSSING MIND - The Inner Shift

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2025/01/crossing-mind-inner-shift.html

Sweet, I actually liked this one more than other Suntrip records. Feels like the odds have to swing positively more than usual, the deeper into this catalogue I go.

SYKONEE Surveys SPOTIFY'S (Not So) Senseless Suggestions: Round 5

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/01/sykonee-surveys-spotifys-not-so.html

The final round of these, where I had more fun coming up with ludicrous scores. It was a fun little gimmick for the short while I did it, but ran its course. Tried resurrecting something similar as a Patreon perk, but even that lost steam (seemed pointless after a while).

As for #Spotify... yeah, it's still around. Not that I care to use it anymore. Glad that was one chord easily cut.
