In 5 years, we'll still be talking about "Music For >Adverts", while "Not For Threes" will be an album that you have trouble >giving away. it's easy to see why warp dropped ken - music for adverts doesn't sound 'right'.. the production's a bit rough, there are some right cheesy sounds on there, some of it's a bit too in-your-face, so they opted to go with plaid, who (these days) are making nice slick easy-to-swallow capsules of electronica (which is the main criteria for getting onto the purple mothership these days it seems). problem is that adverts gets better every time you hear it (warmth and passion!) and not for threes gets worse. and judging by the wap100 tune by plaid, not for threes wasn't a blip on the timeline. =20 what's the reason? i tend to think that the balil and plaid material pre-split accounted for almost all the best bdp had to offer. seeing the way they've continued alone, it seems likely that even if all three were not 'together' when making certain tracks, they really were. <waves> Subconscious Geography http://www.sub-con-geo.demon.co.uk +/sale +/cdr
