black dog - (bytes)

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

taken from this thread:

http://xltronic.com/mb/topic.php3?topic=30227&start=0&seekw
rd=bytes&seekrel=and&idxstart=0

phob:
"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!
