What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

The Black Dog now only consist of original member Ken Downie and some other chaps. There is big debate as to who was the innovater in their original line up as Plaid went on to become fairly successfull while Downie just kind of lurked in the shadows but still works under the Black Dog Moniker. Their sound has certainly changed since they took up residence on Sheffield's Dust Tracks label You can hear traces of the trademark sound in there but at times they sound like a totally different artist which I suppose in essence they are. We'll they've got a release out this week on Glasgow's Soma label. 'Riphead EP' is 3 deep techno cuts built for smokey dancefloors at 4am. The highlight for me is 'Mental Ward Sleep Machine' which makes me think of being lost in the strobe lights. If you've not heard any of their recent output then this is well worth a listen but inevitably doesn't come close to the genius of 'Spanners' or 'Bytes'.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
