Spanners is even better. Some may say it's even better than Plaid, several
tracks are really brilliant. Unfortunately other Black Dog releases are not
as good as these two albums IMO. Their third album on Warp, "Music For
Adverts" also has some nice tracks, but they are too short to make the whole
album sound interesting.
