Plaid - Rest Proof Clockwork

Ohhh...This this such a cool album!!

I actually owned the other three studio albums (Not For Threes, Double Figure and Spokes) before this one, so I wondered if it would live up to my expectations.
It exceeded them!!
The style of tracks here is so diverse. From the most beautiful piece of music I think I've heard, i.e, 'Ralome', to the busy fusion of styles of 'pino pomo' and the giggle-fest that is 'dang spot'.
I find myself more and more enthralled by Plaid's music. So much so that I don't seem to be playing very much of other artists' work in between.

This album; 'Rest Proof Clockwork' is a MUST BUY for anyone who knows how to hear music properly.

Oh, and do listen to this CD with decent headphones - its the only way! Windows mediaplayer with visualisations running is a superb way of experiencing this album too ('Battery-Randomisation'works well!)

Enjoy :0)

Fantastic album, an absolute must-have for anyone into electronic music. Not Plaid's best album; Double Figure is better overall, with a little more consistency in the track quality. However, Rest Proof Clockwork contains what is, in my opinion, the best track Plaid have produced so far, and one of the finest pieces of electronic music ever: ralome (track 2). After 5 years of listening, it hasn't tired and still sends shivers down my spine. Miss this album at your peril!

absolutely the best plaid album to date,every time i play rest proof their creativity amazes me,every track is completely different,every track lives in its own world,and yet they form a very coherent whole.their latest double figure is very weak compared to this one,its just very linear and one-dimensional,that one dimension is great,but theres nothing more,and im not satisfied with only great commercial-melodic-listenable album from ed & andy...
hopefully things will get better with the new one,cuz their p-brane ep is fantastic...a little harsher sound,heavier beats....and.....a change:)
