I am confused here... at amazon it says its released in 1996 with 18 tracks and the one I got from amazon is from 1993 and 11 tracks on it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bytes is definately before 96. there are 11 tracks, and loads of mini trcks on it. does that help?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so how good is bytes ? i listened to "spanners" at the record shop and well....it was cheesy(buh), i expected a little more. |

I think it's shit but loads of people like it. Ask revpersona when he comes on to explain why it's so good, he loves it. |

Spanners THE BLACK DOG PUP1MC Cassette Warp Records 1995 Spanners THE BLACK DOG PUP CD1 1xCD Warp Records 1994 Spanners THE BLACK DOG PUP LP1 2x12" Warp Records 1994 There are also promos around. As for the tracks. Various "bolts" have been inserted between some of the tracks to create a seamless stream of music. Sometimes they are listed - sometimes they are not. |

Both Bytes and Spanners are awesome. The "double tracks" on Bytes are: 4. Phil1 (on Spanners they're called Bolts) 4b. Focus Mel - Atypic 4c. Phil2 5. Olivine - Close Up Over 5b. Phil3 7. Phil4 7b. Yamemm - Plaid 8. Phil5 8b. Fight the hits - Discordian Popes 8c. Phil6 10. Phil7 10b. Jauqq - Close Up Over I wrote these down a long ago and there might be errors. -P |

thanks phob but my question was about bytes... can you help on that? probably your answer is valid for this too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, they are called "phils" on Bytes. |
||||||||

Listen to 'Nommo' on Spanners. It's one of the best tracks ever created. I'm also sure 1000 of you will disagree :) -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do the math, Nacmat, and you have either 11 tracks or 18 tracks. -P |

Spanners is a classic album. One of THE major contributions to the scene. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those two releases are just as relevant today as they were when they were released. quality electronic music by a quality group. |
||||||||
|
|

Bytes was also released on limited "bronze"-vinyl 2 x 12". All the releases in between the Artificial Intelligence releases were on limited coloured vinyl. The silver-vinyl Incunabula is the sexiest by far :) Bytes CD: 01 Plaid: Object Orient 5:44 02 Close Up Over: Caz 6:15 03 Xeper: Carceres Ex Novum 6:43 04 Echo Mike: Phil(1) 1:00 04b Atypic: Focus Mel 4:42 04c Echo Mike: Phil(2) 1:30 05 Close Up Over: Olivine 4:07 05b Echo Mike: Phil(3) 0:38 06 IAO: Clan (Mongol Hordes) 6:24 07 Echo Mike: Phil(4) 2:12 07b Plaid: Yamemm 4:01 08 Echo Mike: Phil(5) 0:55 08b Discordian Popes: Fight the Hits 3:40 08c Echo Mike: Phil(6) 1:45 09 Balil: Merck 4:34 10 Echo Mike: Phil(7) 0:47 10b Close Up Over: Jauqq 5:59 11 Balil: 3/4 Heart 7:35 sorry about the formatting, font html tags don't work so no courier fixed width for me! |

|
|
True. How could i forget the bronze vesion?! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, 'Close Up Over' must be the greatest band name ever. -P |
||||||||

I think bytes is brilliant. one of my fave IDM *spit* albums. i can't be arsed to say why |
||||||||

i love black dog full stop, dont forget the peel sessions too! |
||||||||
|

|
|
Haha! As soon as I saw this topic, I knew you'd mention me. :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought it for your advice revpersona |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe uh-oh, I hope my advice lived up to your expectations! So what do you think so far? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I ve listened to it three times in 7 hours... it was ok the first time, good the second and quite better the third... so it seems I am going to love it... but I want say it much on the board cos I dont want jarworski to go crazy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's sweet man, it'll grow on you then. As for Jarworski, he likes it, he's just too damn dumb to realize it, haha. :] |
||||||||

i disagree with this album not sounding dated, i think it does. as is the whole 'articifial intelligence' movement from warp (ie autechre - incunabula, ai1, ai2). but this isnt a bad thing at all, i still enjoy listen to bytes a lot, especially while driving. |
||||||||
|
|

If someone who never heard electronic music, asked me to give them an album of electronic music, Bytes would be it. The sounds are a weee bit outdated but they are still badass for the time they we're made in. As for the songs themselves, you can hear some great compositions filled with originality in there. Right now Merck and Heart are my fav tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favorite is Spanners but also i like a lot Bytes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah ! Thats the way it is. I love Spanners and Bytes(Xeper: Carceres Ex Novum is the very best) . Do you know if all this artists on bytes really exist ? IMO its all just Black Dog with funny names. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OMGOMGOGOMGOMGOMG I JUST LISTENED TO IT AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE NOW I SEE THE LIGHT not really. still sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recycle - how could you not like spanners? how does it sound cheesy? and as for bytes - it still sounds fresh... and i've got the bronze vinyl (with lovely marble effect) :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
orangeboy------when i got to buy stakker on tuesday (28) ill have to listen to spanners again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hope you enjoy it - i may be a little biased as spanners was probably the first album *of it's ilk* that i bought - listened to it for about 12 hours straight while playing star-control on megadrive with me mate... dem were de days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pigfarmer, it's all Black Dog. I think they have the different names out of legal reasons. Ken Downie also said somewhere that they always wrote the stuff in different constellations. I'm not sure who did what, but I quess Plaid is self explanatory. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All the names were used by Ed, Andy, and Ken. From what I gather they all wrote seperate tracks from various EPs and threw them all on Bytes. For instance, Ed wrote all the Balil and Close, Up, Over tracks, while Andy was using Plaid and Tura. While the album was first released in 92' many of the tracks on their are from before then. Now if only Ed would release some new/unreleased Balil material. |

right now listening to it... great album indeed... I am listening real loud like no time before and its incredible meanwhile I read this thread to get more ingo about the black dog |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now get your hands on 'Parallel.' It's pretty much in the same vein as Bytes, another gem IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love plaid but i have never been able to get into Bytes or any other black dog stuff really. i guess it just sounds too General MIDI to me. of course, for its time it was pretty cutting edge. the bjork stuff they did was dope though. i like that little ep with the twin bjorks on the cover, what was it called? it had that song with bjork going "ooha ooh" on it. i gotta go dig it out. |

now this is weird... ' _ ' on Warp, the tracklisting is: 1. Object Orient 2. Caz 3. Carceres Ex Novum 4. phil(1) 5. Focus Mel 6. phil(2) 7. Olivine 8. phil(3) 9. Clan (Mongol Hordes) 10. phil(4) 11. Yamemm 12. phil(5) 13. Fight The Hits 14. phil(6) 15. Merck 16. phil(7) 17. Jauqq 18. 3/4 Heart on Tigersushi and AMG it is the same without the phils... BUT on amazon.de, there is a version with: 1. Object Orient 2. Close, Up, Ever 3. Zeper 4. Atypic 5. Close, Up, Ever 6. F.A.O. 7. Yamemm 8. Fight The Hits 9. Balil 10. Close, Up, Ever 11. Balil from "Warp (ZOMBA)"! what is this?! (there is also another one in which the tracklisting isn't shown, nor the label, it just says it's in import... and also out-of-print ones with the "normal" 11-track-tracklisting...) |

you ve got all the answers in this same thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ah... ha, never mind i got it : ) they just mixed up the track names with the artists (and misspelled some). silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bytes is fuckin' AWESOME. But it does sound dated... but endearingly so. It's right up there with Double Figure for me. |
