 | okay... so i bought this album and i think it is pretty good. Ofcourse some tracks are better than others, and it
 sounds a bit dated here and there. But really, i enjoy
 listening to it. The first 3 tracks = nothing but goosebumps
 :-D
 
 I'm only very confused about the tracklisting. What is
 actually on it? The tracklisting on the cd doesn't help much
 (to say the least... if anything it just adds to the
 confusion :-p). There are 11 tracks on the cd, but it seems
 sometimes there are two songs in one track. The warp-site
 even says it has 18 tracks?!
 
 I'm also very curious as to who actually made this music.
 From what i've always understood Black Dog was basically the
 two members of plaid plus some other guy. But the
 tracklisting seems to suggest that many different artists
 worked on this album. Two tracks are even by Plaid?!
 
 Basically i'd just like to know what it is i'm listening
 to... :-)

 | FSOL's "dead cities" had duel tracknames, hard one to figure out, but the tracks are labelled clearly on the promo
 version

 | its only 11 tracks... but some of those tracks are divided into diferent parts by diferent artists and therefor you can
 count them as tracks and thats why some online stores have
 it as with 18 tracks
 
 the artists:
 I am not sure but I guess its only the 3 members of the
 black dog... and depending on who of them did a track you
 have a diferent name

 "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."
 
 paco:
 "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 "
 
 revpersona:
 "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."

 | Okay, now i noticed that there is also a tracklisting printed on the cd itself. It's all beginning to make a
 little more sense to me now.
 
 I can see there are seven tracks called "phil" inbetween the
 songs. Strange they don't mention them on the backside of
 the cd. But basically this works just like all the
 'tak'-tracks on the double figure? Only on (bytes) they are
 put in the same track as another song.
 
 "and depending on who of them did a track you have a
 diferent name"
 
 Okay thanks alot :-) That makes sense... sort of.

 | Hi Surrounded, i give you the answer, be shure it is correct. At the time of the release of bytes, Black Dog was
 still under contract of GPR, so they have released Bytes on
 Warp with another name: Black dog productions. It is a
 compilation but all the tracks are made by the ed, andy and
 ken. Plaid: ed and andy, Balil, phil: ed, I.A.O: Ken. Xeper:
 andy.... This is the only correct answer because i have
 asked them personal back in the days!
