Velazquez Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah, Spanners is a classic, that had some heavy rotation back in the day. I stopped listening to Black Dog after "Music for adverts" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Never listened to Black Dog. Is Spanners a good place to start? Btw, what's the relation between them and Plaid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanners is a great place to start. Plaid were part of Black Dog but left because Ken Downes is psycho or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velazquez Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 music for adverts is shite I remember waiting for this to come out in the States( pre- internet days) and i was so amped when I found it at Other Music in New York city in 1998 and so utterly disappointed when I heard it. I'll check "Bytes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronchuseven Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 much love for this album.. although bytes is class, spanners easily has it beat! I can't believe I don't own spanners... I used to see it all the time in the 90's, but it was always $18 or so. I'd tell myself I'd buy it whenever I could find a copy for less than $15... of course that never happened and my opportunities have all dried up :( psil-cosyin is a great choon, but I can't say I like it more than chase the manhattan. since we're on about the black dog, I would be remiss if I didn't name-drop the temple of transparent balls. most of this album is hideously dated (most of all the cover artwork) but there are two songs any plaid/tbd fan MUST know: cost II and in the light of grey. find those two and thank me later!

QBLA Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 it's one of the best cds i've ever heard i think... i revisit it quite a bit... the story for me behind spanners is... my wife bought this cd within our first month of relationship... i have heard of them at the time... but never gave effort in getting a cd of theirs. she basically bought the cd and made it seem like she knew who they were so she can impress me... and of course... it worked. (wow... utopian dream is playing on my itunes while i type this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aciddon Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 nah nah nah. ken downie has always been good, i loved "music for short films and adverts", it was Plaid who turned into musak for elevators after their first album, "not for 3ees" was good, everything else, less so, i see more of a Downie influence on spanners and bytes than the other 2 stooges of placid clean sound.

Guest ~ism Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 first heard psycosyin off the Peel Session...was the last track I think. Belter for sure...got the classic middle eastern/morroccan feel to it. Personally, I quite enjoyed last year's Silenced out on Dust Recordings. Not a classic or heavy hitter by any means, but has a nice middle section and a reasonably sedate flow - easy on the ears and slightly retro sound to it. Worth a listen if you don't have any preconceived attitudes towards Downie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I prefer Spanners over Bytes, psil-cosyin is a classic. On Bytes, I like the two Plaid tracks and Close Up Over - Jauqq. I also unfollowed TBD after the release of Music for Adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sirch Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 it's an epic masterpiece, as is Bytes and Nf3's. 'they don't make 'em like that anymore'... which is a fucking shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Brilliant track. Brilliant album. And after all these years, I haven't heard any album having a similar vibe and quality. It stands completely on its own. Even within the Black Dog output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
