Lots of good stuff from Black Dog and Plaid, sometimes straying into Cluster territory but never boring.


So true. I think alot of people would really dig their music. I have an early Black Dog vinyl that is very spacey in an "em/na" sort of way. Good stuff.

I think I'll dig some of that out... or just download it. Thats faster than digging through my cds/vinyls. lol.

EDIT: It's a B12 vinyl. Not the Black Dog. I'll find a youtube vid..

I see LFO mentioned, I definitely remember a few tracks of those. That must have been 20+ years ago or something. Few excellent tracks. Do they still make music btw (I know, Google is your friend :-))
Some of the others are excellent too. Yes we 'stuck in the old days' EM artists do see outside our little place as well. :-)


LFO isn't together anymore. I'm FB friends with Gez. Gez also released stuff under several alias. I think you may like some of his G-Man releases? I'lltry to post some utube links in nowplaying one of these days.

For sure! It's great to look outside the box. That's what 'EM/NewAge" was about in the earlier years! New Age in music, technlogy, etc. I like to try to recapture that feeling I got when I first heard tunes like "Equinoxe Part 2". But to so I need to go "beyond" that stuff in some way.

I like some of Aphex Twin, LFO and Andrew Weatherall's Sabres Of Paradise project. I see that the new Brian Eno album is on Warp too.

I'm sure there are a lot of more stuff to explore on the label, but when it gets too experimental I'm out of there...


Yeah. You like more "mellow" stuff. There's tons of lighter more melodic "idm", etc is out there. Warp may not be the best label for the softer stuff?

There´s some fabulous stuff out on Warp but I think the more they released (and the more well-established they became), the more geeky, anorak-ish, and whacky the output was. A bit like "we´ve got the license to be weird" or something.

Yeah. I agree. I stopped following the label in the early 2000s. I may play catchup but some of the newer stuff was a bit "grating".

A few... I have some of the very early releases. I like Boards Of Canada a lot.


Cool. It seems like everyone digs BoC.

David Holmes had some stuff on Warp in the mid 90s too. Some of his material from around that time was good, and far more interesting than his jazzy film music from the new millennium.
