I've been meaning to post about the two new Emanate
full-length cds by if.then.else and Lilienthall. Both are
shining examples of the beautiful mellow melodic
electronica sound that made the Emanated comp my
favorite release of 98. I dont think Black Dog would be
a good comparison to the sound of Realizations (the
name of the if.then.else album) but the bola one would
fit. Other comparisons that I would draw include boards
of canada, sun electric and the recent thug release.
Also highly recommended is the new Lilienthal cd
called Castor & Pollux. It features a similar melodic
electronica sound but it infuses some more complex
rhythmic structures and time signitures. Comparisons
to this sound would be David Moufang, Mouse on
Mars, and maybe System Error.
I highly recommend you get both the above cds!
Also around the corner for emanate will be a limited 7"
by Sybarite. More comments on that one soon...
