has anyone heard this track, coz, to be honest, it fuckin' rulz!
Plaid aren't my favourite electronica outfit, but they have produced some of my favourite electronica tunes.
I find that Brothomstates have pretty much the same call as Plaid, not all outstanding music, but my god, some real corkers (for example_'Vleade' )!

yeah, i agree with you about brothomstates, but they are inconsistant and like plaid are.
I was totally stumped when I first heard the 'sprite' advert tune, I couldn't remember if it was a brothomstates or plaid tune, coz they have such a similar sound.

The Plaid track on the Renaissance EP is the best thing I've heard from them since the break up of The Black Dog (as was).
I'd agree they can be as patchy as Brothomstates, but I think the comparison ends there. Brothomstates, who I do like when he's any good, is far more minimal and not nearly as accomplished or as "textured" as Plaid. Plaid unfortunately to me now sound like a watered down version of their old selves. Brothomstates sounds like an above average net label artist.
Oddly enough, and a sign I should get out more, last night I dreamt that (Chris) "Clark" was an alias of LFO, both of whom have a track each on the same Renaissance EP. But of course "Clark" was an alias of LFO for his release on the legendary Planet-E label in 1995, so it wasn't complete madness. But I was a bit concerned about the standard of work under the latter Clark name. But luckily reality returned and all is well again in the natural order of quirky dance music.

I find that I tend towards the sort of tracks (by these guys) where the quality of the bass sounds are so gritty and dirty that it makes me wanna go up to someone in the street (I am usually plugged into my ipod listening to it) and shout 'FUCKIN A!!!!!!!!!!, LISTEN TO THIS',
hence, the next day I find myself starting a thread on xltronic about the track that lifted me of my cobble-stone treading feet. I live for tracks like 'Chasend', thanks PLAID

I'm kind of the opposite on Chasend. While, it's not a bad tune, it doesn't do anything for me. This is coming from someone who thinks Handley/Turner are the best musicians out there. Chasend is definitely a darker themed song, but when it comes to their new material I think Where? from Tekkon OST is a much better tune that is similar in themes.
Also, if you are a fan of Chasend check out Balil's "Glass Dual" on The Electric Institute. The similarities are definitely there.
And Dog_belch (long time bud), there's a lot of great post TBD stuff from Handley and Turner out there. Get your hands on their remix of Snow White Lies and Angry Dolphin Mix 2. Some of the best 808 programming I have ever heard.
And finally, when people bring up liking old-Plaid/TBD, they never mention the Undoneson EP. I wouldn't be surprised if these tracks in some shape or form were from some unreleased Balil EP/LP.

cheers for the suggestions 'revpersona' I will take note of them and search 'em out. I admit I do really love those darker dirtier tunes.
