I read that apart from the retrospective 'Work', (& ep? woo!) there's also a mix CD with some of P&P's favourite tracks by other artists out in June (or there abouts), which...(drumroll) will be part of the 'back to mine' series. I can't remember the tracklisting, but for what it's worth it's not the same as the recent mixmag one. -- Mark S D <Msd13@btinternet.com>
mmmm....love the 'back to mine' series. nick warren's completely kills me...soooooo good. i'm going to look forward to that one. oh, and just thought i'd let people know that the new Plaid ep, P-Brane is simply fantastic. it's a bit disappointing that it's only an ep though. it's kind of a teaser, being only 4 tracks. has anyone else heard anything on the Musik Aus Strom (sp?) label? i just recently picked up a 12" on it by Andre Estermann, and it's *quite* good, kinda melodic IDM that sits somewhere between plaid and tri repetae-era autechre. good stuff. later, brandon invergo --- Mark S D <Msd13@btinternet.com> wrote:

All but the Faithless (Rollo) one, which I thought was pretty weak. So from Orbital we get a full release (well, a best-of) plus TWO additional EPs? Wow, my credit card is already wincing at the thought... Mike

Saw Plaid about a week ago and I think they played a lot of new tracks. They only played like 2 or 3 songs off of Double Figure! Are they leaning toward the more experimental route? That's what it seemed like live. I want to hear some more of it because I wasn't expecting the experimental stuff since Double Figure seemed a bit more mainstream (Double Figure is one of my favorite electronic CDs BTW).
yes, i just saw them recently too. i can't recall whether or not any of the songs off of P-Brane were played, but that's the general style of it all: rapidly evolving beats smothered in melodies that ooze plaidy goodness. if you listen to there stuff in chronilogical order (i.e. trainer, not for threes, restproof clockwork, double figure) you can definitely hear their beats getting more and more varied and experimentalish. however, if i remember correctly, their encore was a very nice acid house-esque track with a straigh 4 on the floor beat. yes, plaid is awesome. have you listened to Brothomstates before? similar to plaid, but a little harder and more experimental. he's also on warp records. cheers brandon invergo --- Shaun Rader <DocShasta@myrealbox.com> wrote:

Was the concert full at all? the one in hollywood wasn't too full but it wasn't a bad showing either. i was shocked at how little i recognized (i have trainer, not for threes, restproof clockwork, double figure, and peel sessions.. but i admit i haven't listened to trainer or peel sessions enough to recognize much from them). i liked the sound of some of the new stuff but a couple i found a bit too repetitive. i was a bit shocked to hear mostly experimental stuff though only because i felt the direction they've been headed has been more mainstream (save for a couple of songs on double figure). i am really looking forward to p-brane though because i want to hear their take on the experimental side. i can't get too into new autechre but the plaid concert seemed like stuff i could groove to.

never heard of brothomstates might check him out if i have extra cash. any good place to download mp3s these days? Shaun

it wasn't *packed* like a punk show or anything, but it was definitely a tight fit in different areas. it was a nice crowd if you ask me.

yeah, they seemed to have played a lot of unreleased stuff. i have the same albums as you and i'm very familiar with them. like i may have said before, i'm not sure if what they played is actually on P-Brane, but it's definitely of the same sound.

It's definitely as out-there as Autechre. The beats are just more complex than previous Plaid tracks (with the exception of a couple on Double Figure, if i remember correctly). It's a pity it's only 4 tracks long, but i guess it's just a warmer to the new album (summer or fall of this year, if i recall). the packaging isn't all that exciting either: all clear jewel case with no inserts at all, just a clear sticker. it's got the new plaid logo on it though. enjoy brandon invergo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
