chassis Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Coincidentally, I have been listening to this a lot over the last week. Seems like a few years since I did, but is probably only 1 or 2. Might be my favourite album, I think it's more coherent than Bytes, probably because Bytes is more like a compilation, but I struggle to put one over the other.

President Squidward Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Relistened to this yesterday and god damn, Tahr and Psilcosyin are grower tracks (I loved them both anyway to begin with but they grew on me more, since I'm more into the Peel Session cut, Psycosyin), but I think when they up the tempo feel less out of place in Psilcosyin for me now even though the track always sounded great, I just felt Psycosyin was better because that track is just the faster tempo part but extended.

thumbass Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Other Black Dog albums I love are: Bytes, Music for Adverts and Short Films, Silenced, Liber Dogma, Book of Dogma and Neither/Neither I prefer TBD to Plaid to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extralife Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Best new-school Black Dog is Tranklements, btw. And I echo everyone else who loves on Spanners. It’s excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronchuseven Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Spanners is one of the cornerstones of IDM for sure! Another TBD album I love is Temple of Transparent Balls. Much of it sounds admittedly dated, but everyone should hear Cost II and In The Light Of Grey at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
President Squidward Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Even though I’ll admit I say all the time I find Bytes and Temple of Transparent Balls to be dated and not the best material around Plaid, but I still really enjoy them and I can understand it was early fucking IDM and was influential at it’s time. Loads of tracks I go back to. I really need to listen to post-Plaid Black Dog to see if I love them as much or even better than what Plaid would become Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different styles. Newer Black Dog is more straight ahead “techno” and not very IDMish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aencre Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I’m definitely a Transparent Balls man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
