I was kinda disappointed by this release. I like Rest proof, and some of the Black Dog stuff, but there is something not right about Not for Threes.

This is probably one of my all-time favourite idm releases, and it was also the first ever idm album I bought, back in 98. I remember lying in the grass, baking my noodle in the sun, with my headset in Birkelunden (a park in Oslo), and I was so amazed that this kind of music existed; I had no idea.
I love this album.

not for threes is the best plaid release imo, but then again, I'm very attached to this release. High sentimental value.

Hmmm...Maybe it is too soft? I don't know. But sentimental value is important, yes. I think I had a similar experience when I started listening to Autechre-Amber. I just walked around in the city with my headphones, and was like....WOW!!!

yeah, that's exactly how it was for me with not for threes. I'll admit, it is a rather "soft" release, but some of the moods on this album are simply spectacular, and the general sound is very pure and clinical. Strangely, it reminds me of stainless steel surfaces, hehe :)

Think it's great. Not quite as good as DF but better than RPC. I was chuffed when I found that there DOES exist a longer version of Seph :D

2nd favorite Plaid to Double Figure, like it a lot more than Restproof. I like their ''clean'' sound. It shparkles.

The whole bloody album is amazing.
I think some IDM lovers might shun it a bit for its use of vocals from some pretty popular artists.
It is also very diverse in its sound, if I didn't know any better I'd say it was a compilation.

Yes...I love this album from beginning to end. Not one dull moment...Plaid simply put are amazing. Ed and Andy are easily the best electronic musicians IMO. I'll say more later.

I can't figure out why some people slam Plaid as much as they do. Considering that most of us like BOC, Autechre and Aphex Twin, it seems like a natural fit.
Even after listening to the brilliant thick sound of spokes, this album still has a great feel to it. Rock on.

Weird you should say it reminds you of stainless steel surface and clinicalness and whatnot - it's hospital terminology.
Not for threes = 333 crossed out, which means DNR (do not resuscitate) on hospital paperwork

It's pretty sweet indeed. I enjoy it's light-hearted nature. (with the exception of a few tracks). Extork still scares the shit out of me some times.
