plaid = not good?

Maybe i havent heard the correct releases but seriously i
dont understand the hype. I find it both boring and useless.
Maybe someone could guide me to good songs or something.

I really never saw the good in them. So boring and useless

just an opinion though... maybe i just heard the worst songs
possible

they have a few good songs---dial p being the album to check
out--other than the new shit, which totally sucks--theres
only a handful of good tracks on the older slabs

Some people who find their earlier releases (rest proof
clockwork, not for threes, trainer) boring, think Spokes is
good. Check that out if you haven't done so already.

To me, the last minutes in Buns are the best minutes I've
heard for a while.

I found spokes never realized its full potentional.
Plaid made such awesome climaxes and emotional melodic
material on their earlier LPs.

But then I heard the Zeal video, on www.plaid.co.uk and I
found hope :)
Cause at the end, they realize its full potentional, and
leave you gobsmacked with (imo) the best climax in awhile.

Terrible tragedy (:P) that they didn't work more on spokes,
to fully explore the songs they made, and have them be extra
lush.

Plaid are pretty damned good. You can't really ask a
question like this unless you let us know exactly what you
HAVE heard.

Personally Double Figure and P-Brane had the best of the
Plaid... the wonderful melodies and drama of Not for 3's and
Rest Proof Clock Work(both of which I love)... coupled with
nifty high tech production to rival even AE (especially on
P-Brane)...

SPOKES on the other hand... is growing on me slower than I
expected... it's is simply not the release that P-Brane
promised.

ill be the plaid defender here.

i think spokes is amazing. just the song zeal is better than
anything twin has done in years.

i didnt really dig plaid at first. i thought (and still
think) double figure was a way overhyped album. i think the
material is ok, but the production is utter crap.

stuff like miamivice and the p brane ep really turned me
onto their new sound though. theres something autechre-ish
about it, but not at all what id call a rip-off. i think
their very clean sounds mixed with their knack for layered
melody is what won me over. its like watching the sun
reflect off chrome, as my friend sam says.

there's tracks on all their releases that i enjoy... but i
can't pick out a single release that i'm particularly fond
of... it'd be nice stuff to hear at a club...

i think the p brane ep is really good, with the exeception
of the last track. i would listen to this if you haven't
heard it. i was hoping spokes would be like a full length
release of material like the p brane ep. i do like spokes
though as well and find some similarities between the two.

what really did it for me was Restproof clockwork.

that album is still my favorite Plaid.

I think they're really good...

...but not great. A bit mild, a bit bland, a bit cloying...
but when they're on, they're ON. Some of my favorite tracks
ever.

i used to have a couple of plaid shirts that were really
comfortable, but i wore them too much and they're trash
now.

imo: nobody makes good plaid shirts anymore. so, yeah, i
agree, the new material is just weak.

I think melodically and harmonically they've been awsome for
a while-and on Spokes, they ramped up their production
values to a very high level.

Plaid is what I think comes the closest to what IDM actually
stands for, Intelligent DANCE Music. You might think it's
predictible and boring, but standing next to most house
music, it's pretty fucking complex. I'd much rather shake
my ass to Plaid than whatever those retards at the Tunnel
spin. Mind you, I'm pretty drunk right now.

I agree.. I think Plaid has definately put out some of the
most danceable electronica (at least of the electronica that
I listen to). I have no shame of dancing when I put Plaid
on.. they got da funk!

Plaid rules, but I think there is something about Black Dog
that is more interesting. If Black Dog had stayed together
as a threesome, imagine how great it would be now...

It would be pretty freaking great.

''Eyen'' is by far my favorite track, and ''Itsu'' is right
up there as well.

Plaid were good when Virginpusher made this goofy topic and
they still are. Thank God he redeemed himself with sexual
oil wrestling.
