Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 has anyone else had trouble ripping this cd? my computer won't even recognize that there's a disc in the drive with this in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PusillanimousRex Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 yep, this is awesome ya, beautiful flow to the album, must've been mind blowing when it first came out So much so that most people just didn't get it or outright hated it back then. I took time for people's personal contexts to finally make this relevant. But it can be mind-blowing at any time. Now is as good a time as any.

Guest boredroom Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I mind Spanners bootleg doing the rounds on Cassette Tape months before its release. It sounded INCREDIBLE even then but it was what you came to expect from the original 3 headed dog.. everything they touched even if it were only andy and ed, turned to gold.. their remixes were even the dogs bollix.. I mind reading about their split in the once cool magazine that was Musik and couldnt believe it, devistated! Music for adverts surprisingly was not up to the standard and again surprisnly the Plaid boys came up tops with not for 333s.. however even today the Plaid material is great and I love their work but they are missing that something special from back in the days and I dont think its Ken as they managed to capture the magic again on the last 2 soundtracks.. who knows what scintilli will deliver.. hoping its a beauty!

Guest boredroom Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 and double figure? open for interpretation i guess... although it was claimed in an interview preceeding the not for 333s album that it was something to do with an emergency number that would/or would not? be dialed within hospitals!? a little known fact: spanners was going to be titled Arcanus Electrus!

Guest sirch Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So was not for threes an overt way of saying "f u ken" ? No. "Not for Three's" (i heard) is a medical term, basically meaning that a patient is not to be resuscitated in the event of death.. or something like that. i also remember reading Ed saying something like if NF3's wasn't received well and went tits up that they were just going to pack it all in and get regular jobs. so then the title would make sense. in that if NF3's bombed, they weren't going to be 'resuscitated' in any way and try again. no more Plaid/ Black Dog, or anything, i guess. maybe they would have just been session muscians, or only producers... or travelled in Bjorks' band forever. or all 3. i doubt they'd have done office jobs. :) i don't think the title is really aimed at Ken. but i dunno. i don't know anybody who actually knows or would speak about why Ed and Andy ever left Black Dog in the first place........

Guest sirch Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Spanners or Silenced? omg. are you serious? - Spanners!! definitely. Silenced doesn't come ANY where NEAR close to the brilliance of Spanners and the genius of the original Black Dog trio, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President Squidward Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 it's gonna be 25 years old next week, and it STILL sounds good for it's time. My top tracks would have to be Further Harm (which REALLY sounds like Plaid written all over it), Nommo, Pot Noddle and the beautiful ambient finale, Chesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 An all-time Warp classic top-five album for me, for sure. There are definitely some lesser moments for me personally, but the greatness overall makes it so worth revisiting the whole that I actually appreciate the few downtimes in between. The first 20 minutes especially, culminating in that Psil-cosyn track is worth it, alone. Shit blew my 17-year old mind back in the day, and still does it for me when I revisit it from time to time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Once, my friend tried to play this album at my Kung fu studio to embarrass me (he thought everyone would laugh at how weird my musical tastes were) in front of our sifu, and I said they should put on something else instead for the warmup phase of our routine. But once Barbola work came on, Sifu started grooving and told me if I ever made assumptions that he wouldn’t like some good shit like this again, he’d kick my ass. Respect.
