yeah, the more I listen, the more I enjoy it... seriously,
tracks 6 through 10 kick major ass... and the other ones,
track 1 especially, are real good... I think I like this
better then Double Figure...

I really dont see why this album is such a let-down to most
of you. Personally I think it's their best to date. Closely
followed by Double Figure.

B Born Droid and Get What You Gave are not great IMO, but I
can't say I dislike a single track.

Definately in my top 3 of this year.

really though, Spokes is blowing me away... I only own two
Plaid full albums, this and Double Figure, and this album
just sounds more, mature I guess... double figure, while
good and everything, sounds maybe a little too playful... so
yeah, I say Spokes is better... not sure how I'd compare
P-Brane though... P-Brane is awesome, although probably too
short... so again I'd pick Spokes... so yeah, I rank my
plaid albums this way...

Spokes
P-Brane
Double Figure...

i allso have p-brane, double figure and Spokes.. Dont want
to compare P-Brane with the LP's so here is my list. I
somehow do like the more melancholic sound of Double Figure
and the more play variant tracklist. But dont get me wrong,
Spokes is great too. And the Dial P is awesome, ITSU is
amazing

Double Figure
Spokes
P-Brane

You can't possibly not like Double Figure if you like
Spokes. I think Double Figure is still better.

I don't like it. I listened to it daily for a week mixed
with other artists and I found myself skipping Spokes pretty
soon. I like Rakimou and one other track that was on their
first 3 track EP. Other than that, I think Plaid is boring.
This latest CD really confirmed it for me.

i really love plaid, better than boc or squarepusher or even
aphex -- but i really skip through spokes...i listen to the
first couple songs, and then one in the middle, and that's
it.

I'm in the "plaid usually bores me but this ROCKS"
category.

Zeal is definitely the single best track I've heard this
year.

I love the foldout CD cover - a nice colorful change from
the dull minimalist monochromatic rubbish you usually get
with "idm" releases.

I don't get what people see in Rakimou - it's like Dead Can
Dance leftovers.

It's a very advanced album melodically and harmonically,
particularly once it picks up from track 4 onwards (though 1
is excellent.)

Yeah, it's great. Dark, emmotional, complex etc...

'marry' owns so sick! Fucking dark and lush.

Does anyone out there think that the first track sounds like
Damon Albarn from Blur?

It's grown on me a bit, but it ain't no double figure, or
even Bytes. There's a couple of wicked tracks in my regular
rotation though.

YES, finally a decent album by plaid! the first album i
actually like by them.
i do own not for threes and p-brane but never really got
into those, but this is something else.
the artwork is crap imo, but mostly all tracks are ace

finally guys.

i wouldnt mind them doing an album that features that
absolutely gorgeous breakbeat from 'marry' in every single
track.

After having it a while now, I'm finding it rather... well,
boring. I think it's the songs structures - many of the
tracks seem to build then just peter out, which is a shame,
as they feel more like sketches than whole tracks. There
are some superb moments though in most of the tracks...

Just arrived today. My first venture into Plaid territory
and I must say that what I have heard so far is quite
enjoyable. Especially Even Spring, which I think I shall
make my new daddy. The cover art rocks too.
