REVIEWS reviews...... sounds...... pictures...... words...... links...... info written by Stephen Fruitman eM, _Import_ (Fällt) The tiniest little jewel box you're ever going to see. eM is The Foundry label's mainstay, a seeker of digital truth who from his West Coast eyrie tirelessly scans the horizons of software soundscaping. _Import_, released as part of the "invalidObject" project of the Irish label Fällt ("a self-contained series of mp3/3 inch CDr releases" limited to one hundred copies each), takes up but a mere fifteen minutes of one's time across as many tracks, but essentially it is a collage over the essence of loss. Unhurried yet restless, with churning ocean waves giving way to sinewaves, shocks of noise being torn away, revealing the smooth surface of ambient drift. A CD jam-packed with meaning rather than just programming prowess - how often can you say that about strictly computer-generated music? Please visit Fällt for news and details. You can download _Import_ from there. (Stephen Fruitman)
