... If anyone is interested, i've got an extra copy of the Emanated cd. Below is Lance McGannon's 10/10 review of this superb compilation. Please email me off-list with your trade offers, and i'll gladly forward a few items in my want- list, thanks again folks... ____________________________ . Emanated comp cd (Emanate) Every now and then you find compilations that redefine your thinking about music - the Artificial Intelligence comps, the Philosophy of Sound & Machine comp, the Objets D'Art comp, the Headz comp, the Clear label comp, and the Skampler comp to name just a few. Those types of releases all feature warm familiar sounds reconstructed in new and exciting ways often spawing genres based on the sound they started. The first release on the new Emeryville, California-based Emanate label, called Emanated, is now part of that exclusive list for me. This compilation features the talents of new and familiar artists including Solenoid, Lillanthal, Sybarite, if.then.else, and O.S.T. Of these nine tracks, all are breathtaking pieces of idm mincing sublime melodies with stunningly unique percussive arrangements that really defy comparisons. But fans of everything from system error-lexaunculpt-jeswa electronica to fx randomiz-to rococo rot-kriedler postrock will definitely be into these tracks. I don't know if this comp has gotten a full release yet but when it does it is an absolute must have. For more info and some unreleased RA tracks check the Emanate label website at http://157.22.137.60/emanate/ and don't be surprised if you hear people start describing releases as "Emanate-styled electronica" in the near future. 10/10 [Lance C McGannon] Pietro. PS- How many 10/10 reviews do you read from Lance McGannon? I've only counted one so far...
