A unique imprint, based in Vancouver but operating with a global perspective, issued a retrospective in 1995 to celebrate a major anniversary. Decadence: 10 Years of Nettwerk offers a captivating, five-disc overview of the label's multiple personalities. Nettwerk's roots lie in leading-edge electro-pop and techno-rock, although it has also nurtured a talented lineup of semi-acoustic-based singer-songwriter types, led by introspective thrush Sarah McLachlan. The combination works because the acoustic contingent isn't American-style granola/folkie stuff, but a sophisticated, Euro-artsy variety that shares compatible reference points with its more wired division.
