yes andrew, "I'm Ready" is still the jam to play...and I believe it did influence A Number of Names to produce "Charevari" just listen to the basslines in both...and listen to how similar they sound... The Kano self-titled album is still available and easy to get. I see it on ebay all the time for auction...$4-10 I dug New York Cake a lot...well 3 tracks in particular a whole lot...the vocals really lead the songs on this one, but there is a lot of DOPE instrumentation goin' on in the songs...and a few of them are real deep in parts and phrases/segueways of the tracks. Those two Kano albums are all I got on Emergency...what other ones were there? did New Order or Joy Division ever do anything or on Emergency? I might be losin' my mind on this one...Matt MacQueen....where are you? Help us out here buddy. minto
