First, let my apologize for my use of the word “crap”, and for my ignorance as to the previous war that went on over Black Dog vs. Plaid thing. I work in a record store and have many customers who were in love with the older Black Dog releases. When “Music for Adverts” come out as an expensive import, lots of people bought it and few of them liked it. This happens and is no big thing. However when we found out that two of the three members had left the band and the remaining member continued under the same name, the general feeling was that we had been ripped off by someone trying to cash in on the reputation of Black Dog. In any case, calling another musician’s work “crap” does not demonstrate an intelligent or informed opinion. Again I apologize and will give the new material a listen. I do feel the need to point out that I was giving my honest if ill-considered opinion about a piece of music, and the responses that I received were mostly rude personal attacks. I hope that this issue will die right here, if anyone feels the need to respond, please do it privately. Thank you. Rychard
