Blimey, 15 years on and this track is still the business. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, nothing to add, just my total agreementness. |
||||||||
|

This song is amazing on so many levels. Balil songs make up my top 5 favorite songs of all time, and this happens to be #2. Whenever this song gets dropped in a mix on discogs people always comment on how great of a tune it is. Hear that Ed? More more more! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. and that holds for the entire album it came from. especially the last couple of tracks, starting with merck. that moody intro always strikes a cord, no matter what mood i'm in. |
||||||||

correct |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
aye, Merck is sheer class also. they don't make them like that anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
revpersona, what fills out that top 5 then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My all time top 5 are: Merck 3/4 heart Choke and Fly The Whirling of Spirirts Island Paradise 6. Shambala Remix And 'Bytes' does happen to be my #1 album. :] There's too many good things to say about the little discography of Balil. Emotive Techno of the highest order. (More-so than the "big names" from 313 IMO.) You also have what is my favorite Trance track ever in "Parasight." I could go on and on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
More of that "emotive techno" stuff: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's at least on track missing in that list: into the other world (black dog mix) it's brilliant how they managed to fit in both emotions and cold techno in into that track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, that is a great remix as is all of the old-black dog ones. Their remix of Alter-Ego's 'Tanksahead' is jaw dropping. I don't care what anyone says, no one is as good as Ed and Andy at remixing tracks. When I hear the orginal track and then I hear their remix in whatever guise, it's really no comparison. I forget where I read it, but someone asked Mark Pritchard what his favorite remix of his tunes was, and sure enough it was The Black Dog remix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rev Rev Rev, what was that track you recommended once, it wasn't Black Dog, but it was Ambient Techno, I don't know if the artist or track name contained the word Caravan.. something. It was dead good and I can't... remember what it was to look it up. THINK MAN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hm, the only thing that comes to mind is: Caravan Voyeur - Blimpsound I got the track on my old PC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's the one - GOOD MAN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aye, Bytes is probably my favourite album too, it's the one that started it all for me back then (along with Incunabula, Ginger, Fuse, Polygon, Accelerator etc.). I think it stands up against the test of time far better than any of its [AI] contempories. ah, the As One remix is just perfect. Refections on Reflections is good un. Island Paradise is one I've never been able to track down. was it not casette only or something ridiculous like that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, cassette only, but Plaidzebra a ways back had the track, just labeled incorrectly. Once I get some stuff transfered off my old PC I can host it somewhere for you to listen to. Plaid have used the beginning part of the song in a mix they did a few years ago, so I am curious if they have rights to the track yet or not. If they do they need to get this track out. I would love for a vinyl pressing, but at least get it onto bleep or something. Also, supposedly there is/was an unreleased Balil LP/EP that never made it out on Rising High. I think Intruder said he had a bootleg of it, but I don't think he comes around here anymore. What I would give to be able to hear those tracks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man, all of the old Balil stuff was brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rev, if you find it that would be sweet. The Trainer album was supposed to be 3 CDs, but Warp couldn't get the rights to the early Rising High stuff? Shame, would be good to hear that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Parasight = Heaven. and, yes, the 3xcd trainer would have been great. All of the parasight ep plus 2 more tracks i think. unreleased balil lp/ep would be soooooooooo nice to hear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Parasight is ace. That AI2 album Warp had out back in the day (was it '93?), man I played that one to death. Does anyone have the early Balil EPs in digital form, or know these are available online from anywhere these days? I'd give me right arm for them, and maybe my left too if they were decent flac recordings. |

|

would someone be able to share the wealth here please? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
really good track. thanks for recommending |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
possibly. if you've read the thread you'll know what to do ;) |
||||||||

................... there was movement at the station :) |

that's really cool but most of the rest of Bytes just never did that much for me. and you all know how big a Black Dog fan i am. i probably did most of the anal The Black Dog profile edits on Discogs. i fucking chased the postchick down to get my Age of Slack EP cause she'd left me a brown slip on a Friday and i was not going through the whole fucking weekend knowing that thing was sitting in an empty locked post room in my town. |

about that balil track that was only released on some obscure cassette, it looks some cats got hold of the original dat and made a rip: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This looks familiar :x Alright Plaidboys, I think you are starting to see a resurfacing in public adoration for these old tracks that you have done. Perhaps it's time for a new EP/LP worth of material with that dusted off Analogue Gear. Please. :[ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And if you haven't heard "Host" yet from their Heaven's Door OST, do check that out as well. It may not be a whole EP/LP worth of material, but it's good to know that they will on occasion channel their early 90s work. |
||||||||

|
|
Ah shit, you were already here. Double link for EMPHASIS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which is probably why Mark has done a version of that track for the upcoming warp 20th anniversary album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
this track is almost as good as eurdance |
