Reviews
- Disench features an uncredited sample of UV POP’s Psalm from the 1983 album No Songs Tomorrow. The vocal on Psalm is great. It sounds like a monologue from Robert Carlyle aka Begbie from Trainspotting.
- Edited one year agoAn album for those that thought Echo Mike and the Bolts were the best things about Bytes and Spanners.
I wonder if "Dumb & Dumber" could be a dig at Handley and Turner, who responded with "Not For Threes" a year later ? - Can anyone confirm if there's any physical formats that are NOT IN MONO?! All streaming/download platforms seem to be in mono and a fellow below wrote his CD is in mono. Surely, it wasn't meant to be mixed for mono?! Can anyone shed any light on this?
- Edited 3 years agoOne of the first ‘partially mixed’ LP’s I personally came across in the 1990’s. Plays like a packed but well-considered mixtape, diverse, surprising, long.
- Edgar Allan sounds a lot like some of the tracks you would find on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Eno and Byrne.
- The soundtrack to life in my basement in Clerkenwell in the summer of 1996. Ken Downie gave me this copy and we listened to it together in a fug of smoke.
- It appears to be in Mono, on CD at least. I was never sure whether it was deliberate or a mastering error.
- Edited 18 years agoMost charming Black Dog's album for me. No techno and stuff like that from their previous works. A bunch of beautiful nostalgic tracks i.e. Tzaddi, No Lamers, Crayola and of course Euthanasia. This is what I call near-idm mixed with ambient and classic electronica of mid 90s.
- <I>Music for Adverts (and Short Films)</I> is the first post-Plaid Black Dog album, and their last one for Warp. And though the tracks may be intriguing, they’re all terribly truncated (hence the title of the album). “The Wind Spirit” and “Jordan” put us deep in the Middle East, first rhythmically and then musically. Ken seems to be bursting at the seams with musical. Indeed, a majority of the tracks seem to be leaning towards that geographic region of the world; albeit with the Black Dog’s unique sense of melody. There’s also the dark funk of “Edgar Allan” and the desert-wandering dirge of “Darkness.” It’s not often that I say that tracks go on for not long enough, but there you have it.
