I have: Not for threes, rest proof clockwork, trainer and double figure. the last one is my favourite so far, I couldnt get into trainer yet, and not for threes and rest proof clock work are doing ok on me, but i dont think they can be compared to any autechre´s or aphex´s... think that plaid is an step bellow.. very good music though. what do you think?? (by the way, i think I already said this, but I decided to get ino plaid thanks to woofer´s comments) |

yeah plaid are a bit hit and miss but when they hit they hit-i think double figure is a bit disappointing though. and ive seen them a couple of times at warp gigs and once they were incredible got the house well pumping, but then on the second gig they were plain boring. have you checked out black dog mate? strongly advise you give spanners and primarily bytes a listen-its a great electro album ;> |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i agree completely. not keen on double figure, my fave plaid track is ralome, but as black dog they really kicked ass. bytes was a landmark album, in my mind it still is. a very well produced piece of work........... |

Bob? Where about in Notts are you? I was up there last weekend visiting my Sis at Rutland Hall in the Uni. |

I disagree. I could easily put 2-3 Plaid-albums/EP's into my TOP 10 list. I just love Plaid - I like the harmony and the melodies. They are genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Laid back genius I suppose. True true..... plaid is simple yet...... spacey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didnt say they were bad at all, I like them but i rather autechre or aphex... anyway if you want you could recomend me some release you think is a must have. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Grabbem all! |

The Undoneson EP is fantastic. As for their skills, I reckon they are as great as Ae/AFX. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
See, not as complex but like I said "spacey" that feeling of leaving the imagination up to you on the music bit. Talent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I would have to agree with Phobia...maybe not 2 or 3 releases in my top 10 but absolutely "Restproof Clockwork" I saw them live last summer with squarepusher and others...They blew me away.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now i am listening to track 9 on double figure... fantastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Plaid are (barring Double Figure CD) my favorite artists right after Aphex Twin. Their sense of melody is brilliant and haunting. I definetely find them far more enjoyable then Squarepusher, Bogdan and the likes, or even Autechre (at times). Their Live Performance at WARP 10 in October of 1999 is (to me ) one of the most haunting, beautiful and terrifying electronic performances I have ever heard, its simply stunning. Some of Plaid's stuff is simply sheer genius IMO. Nuff Said... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favs tracks of "Double Figure" are nr.1,2,9,13 and 19. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agree Plaid rocks.. it's a different buzz though cant really compare em with RDJ or Ae..hmm maybe closer to SP as in most of the work is fully fledged songs Harmonies melodies verse chorus etc or 2LS? but not RDJ or Ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to namcat.. the first two albums are slow burn growers..trainer is a bit pointless..and agreed that double figure's hooky and instantly charming :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't heard any plaid really... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give em a go if you like yer melodies fat and haunting :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THERES NOTHING ON DOUBLE FIGURE ON THE SAME ADVANCED LEVEL AS SAY, ANGRY DOLPHIN? sorry -shouty capitals.when me and me mate got hold of that ep on 'clear' a few years back, we couldnt talk about anything but the programming and sheer beuty in that track for months.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I've been wanting to check out Rest Work Clockwork (is that right?), but haven't gotten around to it... there's just too much Aphex Twin, Autechre, and other stuff to buy!!!! :) hmmm, maybe I should just download the album, and if I like it, then buy it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id get trainer first-just because its similar to their early black dog guise-which is far superior to anything they've done since-'scoobs in columbia' oooh what a pumping tune... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Restproof Clockwork.....You gotta get it Funk!!! Its their best IMO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, restproof is fin, but double figure is their very best one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as soon as i saw this thread i checked to see if cheffe was on tsk tsk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha! let me have some fun! seriously, i wanted to talk about plaid, they are hardly mentioned any more these days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plaid meets Mind over Rhythm on Planet Love is essential |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks, i'm asking soulseek. has anyone some info if they will release something soon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a plaid dvd+album coming out soon, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wouldn't say 'haunting' but they sure have nice melodies! (be sure to check the 'new family' video at warprecords.com it is pretty cool...) Phobiazero > the Undoneson EP? isn't it only three tracks already available on Not For Threes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that you say it, i also heard this quite a long time ago. will it have new stuff on it or just videos for their old material? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plaid are the best. I would also have to disagree, I find Plaid's work to be much more fullfilling to me than anything by 7\fx or AE. Double Figure is a fantastic album, but if I had to choose my favorite, it'd be Trainer. I'd suggest going back and listening to tracks 2, 3, and 8 off of Disc 2. They're my personal favorites, but I think you'd enjoy them as well. I can't wait for the Warp show in Chicago, I've yet to see Plaid live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Undoneson EP is fantastic. 'Spudnik' is one of my favorite tunes by them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll take Plaid over every other IDM artist. As far as I'm concerned their songwriting is genius and their musicianship is awesome - the variety in their sound rivals Aphex. And one day I WILL get into Black Dog too ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got into plaid not too long ago and feel like an idiot for not having bothered to check them out sooner. this is as much of a discovery for me as boards of canada was. absolutely fantastic. as for black dog, i have this one on mp3: black dog and black sifichi - unsavoury products. its unlike any plaid i've heard, but great nonetheless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I knew revpersoina shaould like trainer as he loves so much bytes now (a year after I started this thread) I love plaid... and after the magic p-brane I cant wait for the album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Unsavory Products' is just Ken Downie. Plaid (Ed and Andy) left Black Dog after the album 'Spanners.' Nacmat: Haha, I never noticed that this thread was this old. I knew you weren't crazy. :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plaid is good they have alot I like, but then again, there is alot I dont like. I dont think there is any way possible to compare them to AE or Aphex. At least not technically, in the least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plaid is closer to Orbital IMO...sweet beats and chunky samples...length, width and depth... RPC stands as my all-time fav alb by the Turner & Handley company... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay. i had no idea, but thanks. i'd recommend this album to any1 who is in need of something different. http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/reviews/blackdogblacksifich i_products.htm |

explain this to me: "I decided to get ino plaid" huh? i mean you IDMeers have taken so religiously the fact that sometimes (note I said sometimes) you get to like something you don't like if you listen it at the right time. did you inherit this concept from being a radiohead fan? don't waste uyour time, if you like it you like it and if you don't you don't, period. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
explain your paragraph to me, because it was so badly written it was practically gibberish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he means that if you say yes and hey no is what at least you think that yes is that well you can decide what no is to about the reason of knowing it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also love plaid, all thier stuff, but im still trying to listen to "not for threes" ummmmmmmmmmm this one has 2 0r 3 great songs, and the rest totally suck :0) prays/waits for new plaid album/dvd !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just got a Plaid album today! God, what have a been missing! Now I don't have to spend months trying to "get into" an album (as I do with Autechre)...Seeing Double is instantly gratifying yet also deep and meaningful. And wow-some great melodies for a change! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Rest Proof Clockwork' is also my favorite and amongst my top ten. It makes me want to wind something up and play pretend. Very enjoyable and light-hearted... Sort of like preschool hallucinations. Let's go catch salamanders! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

plaid are fantastic, in a less challenging way than afx or ae, who stun me with their originality. plaid stun me with their lush sounds and melodies. so.. does this make plaid the middle ground, between say, boc and ae? My fave is double figure, my mates fave is rest proof... i've argued this enough, im not getting involved on here too. and when i saw them live they blew me away |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only own 'double figure' it's such a gorgeous album........... 'rest proof clockwork' is nice, but not as appealing for me.....YET and woofey gave you some GOOD advice.....t hee =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
double figure is excellent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really LOVE the remix album, but of original plaid music the p-brane EP is my favourite... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plaid is, to me, the people's IDM artist. They basically take the best elements from all the other really good idm musicians and combine them into something totally beautiful that hits all the right spots, all the time... for me that is. |
