Remastered for vinyl by John Dieterich (of Deerhoof), this is very first vinyl edition of Traces of Time (previously only released on cassette tapes and compact-discs).;This edition is pressed on 180g vinyl.;Vinyl edition includes long read article about Emerald Web’s history by Miloš Hroch (the Wire) and in depth interview with Kat Epple.;The anthology Traces of Time presents time-distorting weird gems that capture the essence and commitment of Emerald Web’s sonic fiction to the power of imagination, which is, according to Ursula K. Le Guin, “one of the most deeply human and humane faculties.” In her defense of imagination, Why Americans Are Afraid of Dragons from 1974, she argues against the American conservative male critics who condemn fantasy, fairy tale, science fiction and “the rest of lunatic fringe” as something infantile: “I think that a great many American men have been taught the oppo- site. They have earned to repress their imagination, to reject it as something childish or effeminate, unprofitable, and probably sinful.” Then she concludes: “They are afraid of dragons, because they are afraid of freedom.” Those who are not afraid, you may now enter the labyrinthian dungeon of the Emerald Web.
