review Introduction
The authors of the eMusic Dozens are the curators of eMusic. It is their job to sift through our enormous catalogue, uncovering gems and putting them in their proper historical and musical context. It's an enormous project, but one that we, the editorial staff, relish. In these hundred-and-some Dozens, you will find the absolute best of eMusic: there's no better place to start discovering.
