Hi,
I'm kind of new on the board. I've seen PLAID has been discussed here several times,so I was wondering if anybody could suggest what's the best material to start with...
thanks a lot!

I am having trouble getting into them. I don't know what it is because they really aren't bad maybe i just haven't heard the right album.
So if someone recommends something let it be groundbreaking.
thanks!

Hmmm
*pokes mwm with a stick*
you smell funny... and why can I only see 3 of your posts, not the other 5? :P
Anyway, get p-brane, then double figure, then not for threes... then the rest. Maybe.

If your just getting into Plaid, I'd start out with Trainer. It's packed full with 140 minutes of music on 2cd's, plus it's their earlier work.
I'd start off with their early material and work your way up.
Virginpusher: What have you heard by Plaid thus far?

Trainer was quite a pleasant surprise to me when I got it a few weeks ago because I'd read some indifferent reviews.
What *did* surprise me was how disappointed I was with Not For Threes, some of it was terrible. Everything since is great though :D

Lay off the crack man. :]
With a straight face, you can honestly say that 'Whirling of Spirits', 'Choke and Fly', 'Reishi', 'Uland', and 'Angry Dolphin' suck? :[

Maybe you should go back and listen to them, specifically 'Whirling of Spirits.' I think that you listened to it a few times, and gave up.
Heh, maybe you shouldn't go see Plaid live.

'Uneasy Listening' is from 1989 man, it's OLD SCHOOL, that might not appeal to you. I mean heck, Plaid were very influential to the scene, they're just always overshadowed by people thinking 7\fx was the #1 man.
As for Disc 1, it's VERY similar to some of Orbital's older material, that's another reason I probably like it.

Double Figure and P-Brain are just great! They're only getting better with time.
Alot of their remixes are good too.

My Favs are Rest Proof Clockwork & DF. But if you dont know Id check out their albums when they used to be Black Dog. Spanners & Bytes are really awesome and they prepare you for the Plaid stuff.
