Heh, I just bought it the other day as my second Plaid album
after Double Figure.

The whole album gets five stars, for me. Imo, it's much
better on the whole than Double Figure. Excellent stuff!

Heheh, that is a silly song. I don't know what that's all
about. I love tracks 1-7, the rest doesn't really stand
out. Except, churn maiden, that's a good one.

What about new bass hippo you cant deny the greatness in
that song!

well okay maybe you can but I would disagree

Well it definitely has one of those tunes that will get
stuck in your head (in the second half of the song)

The first Plaid album I bought. It's pretty good but it's
good some silly tunes on it, that's true.

i like ralome.

ralome is the best one there actually.

Points: 7877 Status: Lurker



Ralome makes me feel at ease with the world. Dead Sea into
Gel Lab is a nice combination. I'm not particularly
enthralled by the album though, it smells a bit like a
compilation.

well considering i just had a long winded comment to make on
this release, and it got erased! i will just boil it down to
the most important aspects:

all the tracks are great, but stand outs are last thing
remembered and air locked honorable mention goes to dead
sea

i really like the entire album as a whole though, but
strangely enough i agree with the compilation comment, i
just think it all works together quite nicely - so many
different moods in this album, its really great.

It's absolutely fabulous. Plaid have never really let me
down. Although this release is a little more minimal than
other releases, the calibur of song writing is simply
marvelous. Plaid makes me so happy.

gel lab, ralome, dead sea, and track 4 (can't remember the
name) are my faves.

Yeah. Good easy listening that doesn't dumb itself down.
Plaid get an A+

wasn't that Alison Goldfrapp ? [ or an Orbital female voice
at least] i think it's written somehere in the inlay.

what's NOT written though is that Plaid used a melody of an
Eric Satie piece [ "Danse de Travers III" ] on "tearisci" -
check that !

i couldn't find any credits for that. if i didn't like Plaid
i'd say something about "borrowing" ideas.

I checked the inlay and they thank Alison Goldfrapp
also: Leila Arab, Nicolette, Clair Polton and even Chantal
Passamonte (Mira Calix)

it is not listed in Alison Goldfrapp her discogs

i vote for Alison anyway, unless Ed and Andy play on
xltradio and deny it

i think plaid is good the same way orbital is good. theres a
few really really good tracks on each cd a few more just
good songs and the rest are only tolerable.

first post and leave.

he'd done that before your post, hehe

does anyone know a funnier example of scratching than in
"shackbu" ?

thanks to this thread i am going to pick this up again, this
is such a great release, between this and double figure, two
classic albums.
