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'.
