Bah.... rdj has been getting facelifts from day one. From the ambient
doodles of saw1, organic soundscapes of saw2, hardtrance of polygon window
and splintering shrapnel of Ventolin. I've always felt Black Dog have had
a consistently appealing and challenging sound.... while rdj's releases were
neato flavours of the month. Here's an odd analogy: if IDM was a
carbohydrate, rdj would be a sweet candy floss, and black dog would be a
big, freshly-baked loaf of wheat bread. :)
onnow: sunscreem (mmm, candy floss....)
