How could you not love this beautiful album? You may like
Double Figure or RPC better, but come on....this album is so
cute and colourful. It makes me feel like a little kid.

yep. =)

my favorites are extork and ladyburst... and spudink is a
very beautiful ending... and i think all björk fans should
at least check out lilith.

i love all the other plaid, but again not for threes, is
very boring, maybe 1-2 songs kinda stand out

the rest is not for me.

333 rocks.
it is probably their most diverse and interesting album.
Probably my fav of all plaid releases.
on the other hand i thought their new remix album, parts in
the post, could have been better.

i like not for threes, its my second favorite plaid album
(double figure being #1). extork is probably my favorite of
the album.

double figure bored the crap out of me for the most part.

dry and cluttered, is what i call it. of course, there are a
few exceptions. i like squance, assault on precinct zero,
zala, lightrain. but its just a mess to me. in my opinion,
the BEST songs are the tak songs. they should have extended
those and made the whole album sound like those. i was so
let down when i first checked out the tracks on napster when
it leaked.

but, generally, plaid does better work than most people (for
me), so its still something i listen to.

not for threes, is probably my favorite though. but i like
restproof for equal reasons.

ALL IN ALL, im looking foward to the new plaid album. been
constantly searching for any signs of it.
tracknames/titles/mp3s.

if any of you find this information please notify me with
it. would be much appreciated.

It's my least favourite plaid-release. I love Restproof,
double figure and p-brane. But somehow this one doesn't
touch me in the same way.

I didn't like it at all when i first bought it, and i'll
admit it has grown on me a little since then. Most of the
tracks are okay, and some of them are really nice.

But overal i think there is

-too much focus on the rhythms and not the melodies.

-too much singing

-the first track is really tedious and also quite long. The
prospect of having to listen to that one first usually makes
me decide on another cd when i'm trying to pick an album to
listen to. And i don't want to be one of those people that
skips songs.

The melody on Kortisin is fantaaaastic! And Milh sometimes
makes me cry...well not cry exactly, but y'know... :-)

yes, kortisin is one of the tracks that i really like.

But i must say Milh has never stood out to me. It just seems
like one of the tracks, nothing special. I'll pay extra
attention to it next time.

Unless I'm getting it confused with another one (only got
the CD over here, no inlay) it's fecking booooodiful!

Not for threes is just a simple and beautiful listen - I
think there are plenty of melodies. Geeeez.....what would
we say about Autechre if that was our line of reasoning.

NFT is a great great album, chock filled with odd rhythms
and beautiful melodies...

I love atleast as much as RPC or DF, and depending on the
day, more.

Hardly...plenty of people love NFT...just that it seems to
appeal to the knd of people that don't shout it out from the
rooftops...very understated album for understated people.

i love not for threes. first plaid I ever bought. gotta love
headspin and the track that starts out with cute little kick
and punch sounds from a video game. Has a really awesome
vibe through the whole thing. That's the cd that got me
hooked on them

i firmly agree; not for threes definitely kicks it. more so
than any other plaid record in my opinion. i love what they
do with vocals. track ten (i believe it's track ten, there
are vocals and strings and other assorted goodies) is one of
my favorite songs of all times. i also have to say, plaid
goes well with bjork, and lilith is a fantastic song. (and
the artwork is better than on their other releases!)

"Geeeez.....what would we say about Autechre if that was
our line of reasoning.
"

Well the thing is that autechre can make very interesting
and beautiful rhythms and beats. But when i listen to
something like plaid or boc, i do so more for the melodies
and atmosphere. The beats are just there support those
things in my opinion. So when on NFT i heard some tracks
based mostly around the rhythms i was kinda dissapointed.

Anyway, i listened to it again yesterday. Milh is indeed a
nice one. The tracks that i do really like are kortisin,
headspin, myopia, ladyburst, rakimou, ol, forever & milh.
That's not a bad score... but i think they have come a long
way since that album. I like RPC better than NFT. I prefer
double figure over RPC. And i think the 4 tracks on p-brane
are their best work to date. If they can keep this up, i
can't wait for the next album :-D

"(and the artwork is better than on their other
releases!)
"

i very much disagree :-p
The Restproof...-artwork is about a 1000 times better if you
ask me. It could well be my favourite artwork on a
warp-album. It also fits with the music just
perfectly. A strange childish colourful machine. Just
look at that machine on the cover and imagine what kind of
music it would make... --> music like Little People & New
Bass Hippo! :-)

I'm so jealous of all of you Plaid listeners...

Their CDs are a little hard to find here, but there are a
few available. I've wanted Double Figure for so long, but
never actually bought it. I'm going to make sure it's my
next purchase for sure...

I also saw Not For Threes. The case was really cracked
though, and stuff like that puts me off. I'll listen to it,
if I like it buy it, then change the case as soon as I get
home!!

Prague Radio captured the sound that industrial has tried to
capture for years. No song lives up to industrial percussion
like that song.

I think that's the song that scared me to death the first
time I heard it stoned. Is that the one that sounds like a
bunch of machines puking to a beat? (too lazy to turn on the
album myself).
