I agree with Adam. The Black Dog without Ed & Andy is just not the same. "Music for Adverts" has the same unique melodies and atmospheres, but lacks when it comes to the rhythmic patterns. There just doesn't seem to be that rhythmic depth that so impressed me in the previous incarnations of The Black Dog. And in listening to the current work of Plaid which still showcases the deep rhythmic pattterns, I assume that when Ed & Andy left The Black Dog, so did the better programmers. I like "Music for Adverts" but not as much as any of the other Black Dog releases. -->-Lance----
