what albums/songs should i start with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Black Dog "Bytes" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Trainer and Double Figure, I reckon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qt 3.14 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i started w/ Rest Proof Clockwork and the single Undoneson. try Undoneson cause its cheap. if you like that then go all out. as for Spokes, than may not be the best place to start. anywhere else is pretty good. actually i started w/ The Black Dog: Spanners, but that counts in a different way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd say double figure - it's what i started with - i think of double figure as their best, but that is really my opinion, its got about 19 tracks on it, so it should keep you busy for a couple of weeks. its got this kind of metallic warm synthy sound to it, its much more sythetic sounding than their other stuff - then move wherever you want. |

Trainer's a good spot. Don't ban me. |
||||||||
|

you know you miss elusive. |

I always recommend to start with the first release. That way you grow along with the artist and the way they envolved. In this case it's difficult to draw a line because as you probably know Plaid started their career as The Black Dog. If you fell in love with a track you heard by Plaid then you should start with their first releases, Undoneson/Not for Threes and so on. Check for their complete discography. If you never heard much of them I recommend you to start with their first release and follow the timeline. |
||||||||

|
|
"and follow the timeline" should've been, in order of date. |

p-brane is great, double figures, spokes, so yeah all of them when in the heck is that dvd coming out ? ahahhhh the neverneding project |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was bummed at first, but then after listening to it real loud while cleaning the house about 2-3 times its nice, a bit more "chrismas-sy" than i would have wnated, but yah oh yeah the dvd is getting a good chug, chekc warp everyday |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Double Figure [WARP84] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My first Plaid record was Trainer, and I have not ever really gotten tired of it. It's still as fascinating to me as the first time I listened. I like the Balil tracks the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didn't get too far into any of them last night maybe later tonight |

Black Dog - Virtual Black Dog - Age Of Slack Black Dog - Black Dog EP Black Dog - Black Dog Productions EP Black Dog - Bytes Black Dog - Spanners Black Dog - Temple Of Transparent Balls Plaid - Trainer Balil - Parasight VA - Applied Rhythmic Technology (ART4CD) VA - Objets D'Art VA - Experimenta Forget the Plaid releases after the Black Dog split - they aren't remotely as good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spokes is the best one!!! What are you on about??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

BOOC/P-Brane |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

not for threes restproof clockwork spokes double figure trainer EPs spokes is an amazing release. trainer is for the story, some very good (if not classic) moments but really old school and dated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
double figure : where i started, where i stopped... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like threads like this. i only listened spokes, trainer and spanners. spokes and trainer are cool. trainer shall be a nice way of starting, since its a 2xCD with loads of easy tunes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what if he's a talented listener? easy can be boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Handley / Turner produced their best work when Downie was with them, and vice versa. Surely this is an indisputable fact? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am afraid i don't really agree. the best elements of the the black dog went when handley and turner left. You only have to listen to spokes to realise that. Pure magic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're not completely wrong. Handley and Turner were obviously the technical and melodic force in the early BDP, but Downie provided the magic - the mystical, esoteric vibe, the Asian and African sounds, which were a perfect complement to Plaid's Ancient/Modern clash. That sense of "ritual", for want of a better word, has been completely missing from everything Plaid have done since, and it suffers for it. That's why, despite its hi-tech production, Spokes is nothing compared to Bytes. Downie hasn't had a great time of it since the split, but I much preferred "Music For Adverts" to "Not For Threes". I didn't bother listening to Plaid for years after that stinker came out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trainer contains angry dolphin and some other talented tracks. most plaid is easy without being boring, dont you think so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really need to listen to bytes again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the mystical, esoteric vibe, the Asian and African sounds" - if you want such thing just go and listen to Enigma, dude ! or ComradeF. saying that Spokes is shit because it's not similar to Black Dog music is the most stupid thing i've read here. there is Black Dog and Plaid, fucking appreciate that ! ----------------------------------------------------------- -- p.s. many people who make music and struggle to create something original [ i mean structures ] can appreciate Spokes. p.s.2 if you like p-brane it's strange you don't like spokes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
calm yourself dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

Virtual EP - love Age of Slack EP - love love The Black Dog EP - love Parallel Squelch - love Vanttool - love Vir2l - decent Black Dog Productions EP - love love Parasight - its ok Bytes - didn't get into this like some others, but its got 3 good songs. Temple of Transparent Balls - love love Spanners - love right away and it grows even more later Parallel (LP) - love love The Black Dog Peel Session - good Mbuki Mvuki - not my fave and the two best songs are on Android, but the entire thing is on Trainer so whatever Scoobs in Columbia - a real good one if only for that Aside remix Undoneson - love Not for Threes - decent Plaid Peel Session - its alright Rest Proof Clockwork - like it a lot Booc - love Trainer - great Double Figure - very nice P-Brane - love Spokes - its ok Parts in the Post - very good but missing their best remix (of Ko-Wreck) Repeats (by Repeat) - a decent album w/ "Lilt-A" |

Alright then... Bye! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you all pronounce 'plaid'? I *think* I know it's plaid as in -plad- but I always say -played-. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is plad. but yeah played sounds better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the Ko-Wreck released somewhere ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Ko-Wreck Technique remix is on the Ko-Wrecktion EP by them. and shit: Android EP - decent, but again all of it is on Trainer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, you're right but i think the more recent releases (apart from spokes) manage to be as interesting as easy. (spokes beeing more interesting than easy). sorry i'm drunk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
many thanks dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

-------- "the mystical, esoteric vibe, the Asian and African sounds" - if you want such thing just go and listen to Enigma, dude ! or ComradeF. -------- I think you might be better spending your time at an after-school science club, rather than on a messageboard for music. Stick to what you know. |
