At least a half-decade before the term "electroclash" was coined, Detroit's Ersatz Audio label was quietly releasing records that bridged the gap between 80s synthpop/industrial and 90s techno/IDM.
On this new compilation, however, that cold and dark edge has been so sharply honed that the album is at times quite a difficult listen.
Even fans of earlier Ersatz releases may be disappointed if they come in expecting a set of upbeat numbers to rock the dancefloor.

 Ersatz in the Confederacy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
First published by the University of South Carolina in 1952, Ersatz in the Confederacy remains the definitive study of the South's desperate struggle to overcome critical shortages of food, medicine, clothing, household goods, farming supplies, and tools during the Civil War.
Overly optimistic that they could easily transform a rural economy into a self-sufficient manufacturing power, Southerners suffered from both disappointment and hardship as it became clear that their expectations were unrealistic.
Ersatz in the Confederacy's lasting significance lies in Masseys clearly documented conclusion that despite the resourcefulness of the Southern people, the Confederate cause was lost not at Gettysburg nor in any other military engagement but much earlier and more decisively in the homefront battle against scarcity and deprivation.

As a former member of the House Budget and Appropriations Committees, I can say with some experience that congressional budgeting is playacting anyway, and all the political hand-wringing is just stagecraft.
The ersatz congressional budget lacks the two defining characteristics of real budgeting: binding budget constraints and enforceable spending priorities.
What euphemistically is called the congressional "budget" doesn't actually authorize the expenditure of monies; it simply sets the procedural framework in which Congress does authorize expenditures.

 Ersatz Nation by Tim Kenyon
At first, ‘Ersatz Nation’ can be heavy going without any irony or humour to lighten the dire situations of the two principal characters.
When their story lines do gel, quite literally, together as they desperately jump through the dangerous hoops constructed by Mother Necessity and new layers are added, the plot becomes more compelling.
  ‘Ersatz Nation’ is not easy to engage with at first, but it is worth persevering until the loose ends are brought together to create their own momentum.

Most of NOAA's solar radiation data sets are from 26 SOLMET stations and 222 ERSATZ stations and consist of hourly values of solar radiation and meteorological data from 1952 to 1975.
For the ERSATZ stations, although no solar radiation measurements were made, researchers modeled global horizontal radiation based on observed meteorological data such as cloudiness and minutes of sunshine; the ERSATZ data do not include direct beam radiation.
Because the ERSATZ data are modeled, these data are less accurate than the SOLMET data.
