PLAID / VARIOUS
'PARTS IN THE POST'
PEACEFROG
2LP/2CD
(APR 2003)
Plaid are Andy
Turner
and Ed
Handley,
a pair of truly inspirational producers who were part of an
electronic movement in the early nineties that helped
re-invent the worlds electronic music scene.
‘Parts
In The Post’
is a collection of Plaid’s
finest remix moments, and with artists as diverse as Goldfrapp, Unkle, Bjork,
Nicolette, Herbert,
and
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
all making an appearance, this album is a great package that crosses all
musical boundaries, and should appeal to music lovers of all types, as well
as the
Plaid
and Warp diehards.
Originally
recording as Plaid on their own Black
Dog Productions label, and as 2/3 of the inspirational Black Dog on GPR and
Warp, Ed and Andy
have consistently produced some of the most forward-thinking and
groundbreaking music available, from the uber rare and sought after
Latin-Jazz tinged ‘Mbuki Mvuki’ to the classic ‘Bytes’ and ‘Spanners’ albums
on Warp. Plaid’s
early releases sat easily beside other like minded producers such as LFO,
Aphex Twin, Stasis, Autechre, and Kirk Degeorgio who were also inspired by
the beautiful, and futuristic sounds transmitting out of Detroit at the
time. With the split of Black Dog, Ed and Andy
concentrated on producing under their Plaid
pseudonym for Warp, and have produced a string of critically acclaimed
remixes and releases consolidating their place among electronic music’s
elite.
