Anybody familiar with this legendary ambient label? I have
most of their stuff (Woob, Gas, Miasma, Qubism, etc.) and
everything has just a special quality to it. Of all the
ambient I've ever listened to, em:t ranks near the top of
the heap (if not ON TOP).

Tell me something I don't know...

:)

the bloke who runs the label fell into my fireplace on new
years day, after doing too much laughing gas and ketamine.
does that count?

streaming music... ;)

not sure. it is a guy who boughy the label out a year or two
ago, hence the reason it has resurfaced after an extended
hibernation.

Woob- sub dub

Some of the best cover art ever which lead to rotten-cunted
ex-girlfriends stealing them even though they lacked the
capacity to truly apreciate them and just thought the
amphibian pic were cute- leaving me with only minidisc
copies (that I meticulously scanned and copied high quality
labels for) that were also stolen by a drunke housemate.

I haven't received a newsletter from the new em:t
proprietor- I assumed they went under...

It is legendary- that catalog represents the pinnacle of
ambient music and most of it is over ten years old.

Hey, people responded to my thread. That's very kind. :)

Anyway...

not sure. it is a guy who boughy the label out a year or
two ago, hence the reason it has resurfaced after an
extended
hibernation.


I think you may mean Matt Hall, who was a big help in
getting the em:t name relaunched.

godataloss - Ouch! :(

I haven't received a newsletter from the new em:t
proprietor- I assumed they went under...


Nope. They're back, have 2 compilations (0003 and 0004) and
1 album (gelsol 1104 - EXCELLENT!) under their belt, with
302 acid 0005 coming out May 23rd! They are very much in
existence.

The old cover arts are truly timeless, especially Woob's 2
lps (That outstretched neck of one of the emperor penguin's
caught my eye immediately and the toucan) and gas 0095 (the
comb jellyfish).

Well, check the link I provided and hit the listening
stream. Find out for yourself.

Holy shit

That's not unusual. em:t releases are highly priced by any
collectors with some sense and appreciation of ambient
music. $100+ US is not unusual.
