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
