> All this talk about BOC alluding to Black Dog has got me >intrigued, and I must admit that I do not own any of their (Black Dog) >muzak. muzak it is not >Any suggestions re: what to pick up as an introduction? 'bytes' every time. music for adverts is not representative of the black dog sound as a whole, and though it is definitely worth getting, the earlier material from when the black dog had three heads is where you'll find the treasure. if you can understand what bytes is about then it might just change the way you think about all music. just look at the front cover before you listen. carefully >Also, I read a DJ's chart in URB this month that compared BOC's "Hi >Scores" 12" to an early Underground Resistance release called "The Final >Frontier" (UR003?). Anyone with a deeper record collection than me care >to comment on this? they're REALLY different records. i wonder why that person thought of such a thing? on the whole underground resistance are in a different vein to something like boards of canada, but if anything comes close to their sound it would be the ep 'world 2 world'. though earlier stuff like world 2 world are things i will treasure for all time, the mad mike productions of the last couple of years have left me cold. i bought electronic warfare, and it's my favourite of his recent work but even that isn't very spectacular except for the amazing last track. it's a shame - in terms of imagination, his counterparts drexciya have left him standing, and even jeff mills (who i don't rate) is starting to show the guy up a bit. the cheesy secret agent-style label stories are not much more than irritating nowadays <waves> np - moment's notice - john coltrane
