This collection is obviously the building blocks of what we know now as Plaid. These guys continue to be way ahead of their time yet just on the edge of today. It is nice to finally be able to get some of these tracks on vinyl.

There are 15 Warp Test Pressings in existance of a 4xLP version of Trainer, which includes the Balil Parasight EP and the Black Dog Productions EP from Rising High which never made it to the final official Warp release due to licencing issues.

this represents some of Ed and Andy's best work - although I feel that some of the tracks could have involved Ken Downie such as the Balil tracks, rather than just Ed on his own. Despite my rating of 10/10, I do feel that they should be releasing new music instead of cashing in on old material.

The whole oevre (most of them are hard to find tracks)of Plaid is released here on this compilation, it shows why that act became so successful in the IDM scene. Timeless music. Perfection in sounds since 1989. Yes, that is Plaid we love them for!
