Solenoid - "Pillow Speaker" & "Time F" > Yes! I LOVE THAT EMANATE COMP! I enjoy it so much i have it on both cd & 2x12". It was my #1 comp of 98. I've been playing tracks off that comp on the inaudible show for months. Here is the review i wrote about it but havent gotten around to posting it yet... . Emanated comp cd (Emanate) Every now and then you find compilations that redefine your thinking about music - the Artifical 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 release 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 Emanted, 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--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
