> 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. Any suggestions re: what to pick up as an introduction? Preferably >something still around and easy to find (no rarities on the scale of >Joyrex or MASK please..you'll just make me sick when I can't get it). Start with 'Bytes' (on Warp, Wax Trax in the US), then 'Spanners' (Warp again, EastWest in the US), then 'Music for Adverts' (Warp, no US release). I think 'Adverts' is actually my favorite at this point but I'm sure that's a minority opinion and it's probably the least accessible. You might also listen to the Plaid album 'Not for Threes' on Warp, and 'Parallel,' a Black Dog singles collection on GPR. I don't recommend 'Temple of Transparent Balls,' which has too many duds IMHO. >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?
