plaid

[karitek]

i love 'em. what are they like live?

[Weishaupt]

love them to death..................best choice for privat music entertaiment.....

lots of magic inside..................

[maudular]

excellent ! I saw them three times, it was 3 years ago...
I love them too...

[marcel]

i love em too, but havent heard them live yet

[owain_k]

Are awesome !

They kinda covered the whole spectrum when i caught them live, started out real chilled and then worked the tempo to the outter reaches.....

[KaOz]

brilliant ep ´s and lp´s on one side. Shit ep´s and lp´s on the other side.

but yeah. they are good :)

[actionjetzon]

i like the releases, but never saw them live yet

really love the plaid mix on mathew herberts "the audience" woooah, great stuff

[MUX]

i heard them at last years dedbeat and they had a fucked up kit

[decadnids]

I feel plaids music is a little weak these days, back in the day they were a lot better, seems they have found their selling formula.

[amble]

i would agree. although i still like what they do now i must say that i like their older stuff a bit more, 'rest proof clockwork' being the big peak imo, and old black dog of course.
maybe that's because they went pretty digital recently (REAKTOR i think).

i only saw them live once a few years ago and i wasn't that impressed. they were rocking which was cool but in fact they were playing allready released tracks, all slightly varied of course. so they maybe missed the chance of a live-situation a bit for me. then again that concert was on a tour and they might have had a bad evening.

[4md]

I love the "not_4_threes" album

[simon]

I've seen them play many times over the years, if your a fan of their music then you'll really enjoy seeing them live.

Although they have had a few hickups. re: Dedbeat 2002.

They where absolutly amazing at Sonar 2001.

[tsr_tomas]

me like plaidi plaid...

[barry2604]

what happened at dedbeat 2002?

[pille'ocheoni]

plaid is a awsome duo. considering they live in two differnt parts of the world and transfer files. id say thats preety impressive, and one of them has the pleasure of being married to mira calix. so i bet creative time at home is a pretty cool experence

[decadnids]

@Pille, loads of people make music as duo's or as teams via the internet, its nothing special really.

[pille'ocheoni]

yeah i do it myself. so who do you think is better? * going to listen to decadnids tunes *

[Yer_Maw]

i was really dissapointed with their live show. oh well.

[4md]

and one of them has the pleasure of being married to mira calix.
... it's Sean Booth from autechre who's married with Mira Calix ;)

what do you mean "who do I think is better?"

who am I supposed to be making comparisons of?

[pille'ocheoni]

critisims, ussally follow by a purpose of advised alternatives, not just bad opioions

It wasn't a critisism it was a statement of fact.
its not a bad opinion either.
all I said that other people (and it seems you do this also) make musick over long distances, and that I don't see that as anything special.
don't see what your beef is mate....

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Auetechre went the exact same way....

[aleks]

you mean getting weak?
i don´t think so, personally i think they´re getting better...

[decadnids]

its all subjective after all,
I just feel that their musick these days lacks a lot of the "soul" and the feeling and the emotional input of older stuff.

like I say it is all subjective, this is my view. {before someone else gets all bent out of shape}

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

I guess it is subjective. I felt I seen them play best in 95 and 97, and then not so well since then. A feel the same with their ideas. I guess I have this conversation about Black Dog a lot as well.

[decadnids]

have to agree with the Basic - I guess when you have been into a "group" of musick for a long time (since eary 90's) and you hear the change over time. Just feel the eary stuff was a lot more powerful.

[decadnids]

Speaking of Black Dog, the Unsavoury Production release (last year) I reckon was pretty good - with spoken word by Black Sifichi.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

I'm not too sure about it (or if I have even heard it in it's entirity), but I loved Bytes and Spanners had good moments too (Frisbee Skip to name one).

[decadnids]

Yeah the Unsavoury Product is good, its a spoken word album, some people freak out about that "what someone speaks all over it".
I like it, its different, but has the feelings/
I liked music for adverts and short films - not many people I speak to are into that, but I thought it is a very good album.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

I liked it, but that was just really Downie going it alone after Turner & Handley (sp?) went on to do Plaid. I looked on it as a different entity really, but good nonetheless. I loved that era in the early 90s though. B12's electro soma and all the other acts of that ilk releasing nice tunage too. Stasis - Inspirations (on Peacefrog) is a wicked album as well. They also did nice recs on that B12 label from Belgium too.

*nostalgia washing over Basic*

[decadnids]

b12 - totally wicked, one of my all time favourite.
both electro soma and time travel tourist are top albums.
their 12's on their own label were great too!!!!

[LEFTHANDLOU]

I really like the Plaid stuff, but I've never seen them live. On the 28 WARP is coming to LA, and Plaid is doing a LAPTOp set, so I will give you my thoughts on them live later.

[pille'ocheoni]

decadnids i have no beef with you, why do you think that?

[wheezer]

@decadnids

yeh time travel tourist is a real fine piece of wax, one of the first warp releases I bought...

[gitgit]

new stuff isnt as good as old stuff but
they were amazing support to orbital in dublins
olympia theatre a few years back

[grunder]

arnt they playing in b right on soon at fink fast
plaid.

[phil]

plaid are plaid out son.

[grunder]

come on phil they have done some good stuff.......

[phil]

yeah they "have" done.

[$eye]

today's breakfast consisted of a jacket potato with coldslaw and tuna mayonaise. Marks out of ten....well i'd say around 4. Not bad. ...Last nite i had bean burgers in white rolls with melted cheese and halfed baby tomatoes. Marks out of ten....around 5 or 6. Hopefully i will have some dinner tonight aswell...unless anyone tells me not to..... anyway i'll keep you posted as to it's nature.

[$eye]

what have all you lot had to eat recently?

[grunder]

i am cooking a spag bog so dont worry bout that.
i say yes lets all eat and be .........................

[grunder]

and i would say the bean burgers hit an 8 ...for bean burgers

[phil]

i had a pikey last night with a little gypo on the side.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

I take it you don't work for Sainsbury's then?

[$eye]

i met a girl who does werk for sainsbury's the other day...she was very nice. She was a buyer for them. Today at werk i was given a pamphlet that instructed me what to do in the event of someone phoning me up and informing me that they have left a bomb in the building.
I am supposed to keep the person on the telephone as loong as possible and ask a series of questions. One of the questions i am suposed to ask the potential bomber is "what is your address?".
I found this very funny. What are we hoping to catch them off guard or something? "oh right, my address is ..."
The other questions are not much more sensible. Here we go.
1. Where did you put the bomb?

probable answer: it's in your building.

2. Why did you place the bomb?

probable answer: Because i am against imperialist America and the relentless greed and distruction caused by the west's foreign policies.

3. What is your name?

p.a: Mr barry thompson...

I personally have decided that if this scenario ever does arrise i will ask the following question.

"Well sir...if you were in my shoes, would you leg it now?"

[karitek]

went and saw them last nite as part of the warp US tour. i really didnt like their first couple of tracks (it was a hard task following up andy weatherall's blinding electro/breakbeat set), but after that they were wicked - cutting up destiny's child and almost getting a bit noodlesy at points.

as far as the night went as a whole, i loved it. the best crowd i have seen in nyc. most of the time it is either older folks who scratch their chin and dont dance or 14 year olds who carry around teddy bears and glow sticks. this was all the people in between.and everybody danced! a change from most nyc nites. givin me hope in america yet.... :)

[LEFTHANDLOU]

Good News Kari, Just got me pumped up for tomorrow night. They are coming to LA. I'm stoked that you thought Weatherall's set was great, He is my favorite producer, and the main reason I'm going to the show tomorrow. How Was Prefuse?

[karitek]

prefuse was pretty cool. but i just heard nogutskik over the weekend and thought they were doing the same thing, but much better. but still, pretty damn cool music. weatherall rocked it though - definitely the highlight of the night - he even played 2 sets.

[LEFTHANDLOU]

Thanks Kari, I look forward to it.
