ADV Music Announces Anime X-Plode
ADV MUSIC ANNOUNCES ANIME X-PLODE™!
ONE OF ANIME'S FIRST US TRIBUTE COMPILATION CDS - RELEASED ON ADV MUSIC LABEL; AVAILABLE IN STORES JULY 13, 2004
HOUSTON, June 23, 2004—ADV Music announces its first anime-inspired tribute compilation music CD, Anime X-PLODE™! With 10 red-hot tracks that span many music genres: Techno, Rock, Metal and Hip Hop, to name a few. This CD is a must-have for anime fans looking to expand their minds and musical taste.
The Anime X-Plode! compilation CD was the brainchild of Rod Boaz and Mike Eckart, co-founders of Elastic Media Corporation – an anime dubbing and music production company based in Los Angeles. During the process of working with a variety of voice actors and musicians, Boaz and Eckert noticed that many artists had an interest in anime that reached farther than simply ADR production. The firm first initiated the concept by asking members of the eclectic band Jambalaya to write a song based on the Gunparade March series, which Elastic Media was in the process of dubbing into English. The idea to make a compilation CD featuring American music inspired by the best in Japanese animation was born.
“The difficult part was choosing which cuts to showcase on this first volume. There was so much terrific material. We produced cuts and also accepted material from a lot of great bands. This is definitely a fantastic CD with many genres of music that everyone will enjoy” said Rod Boaz, Elastic Media's executive producer.
ADV Music and Elastic Media now present the first in a series of top-notch Anime inspired tribute CDs, Anime X-Plode!
