Pretty nice release. They really seem to be experimenting in recent years, though this one continues some of the nostalgia vibes found in "further vexations" (my favorite release of theirs, so I'm definitely biased about the new directions). For instance, the track Them (Everyone Is A Liar But) gives me some newer boc vibes (specifically Tomorrow's Harvest).

I like it a lot. A long term tBd fan I heard a track from this in a mix, really liked it, then completely forgot about it. Thanks to this timely reminder I have now bought another Great Black Dog Album.

Did you like "further vexations"?
Also, I somehow only managed to notice just now that Balil - Parasight, which I thought is from a Black Dog alias, is actually by Ed Handley alone, who was indeed an early part of Black Dog, but left to focus on Plaid in '95. So this Black Dog is disjoint from Balil, and the changes in cast explain the changing sound (just like with The Orb, though I hope without the ridiculous bad blood).

"further vexations" left me a bit cold, I think. I *really* liked "Radio Scarecrow" before it, and "Music for Real Airports" which came after. It seems I missed a couple of albums in the meantime.
I don't know if revpersona still pops in now and again but he knew all about the different aspects of the make up of early tBd, or Black Dog Productions. But since Spanners (95....) it's been just Ken from the original 3, with the other two forming Plaid. Though Plaid existed as part of The Black Dog, as did Balil (and others) - to this end I believe this is why the first Warp album "Bytes" is presented as a compilation of Black Dog Productions, to reflect the differing line up on each track.
