'bytes' every time. music for adverts is not representative of the black dog sound as a whole, and though it is definitely worth getting, the earlier material from when the black dog had three heads is where you'll find the treasure. if you can understand what bytes is about then it might just change the way you think about all music. just look at the front cover before you listen. carefully

they're REALLY different records. i wonder why that person thought of such a thing? on the whole underground resistance are in a different vein to something like boards of canada, but if anything comes close to their sound it would be the ep 'world 2 world'. though earlier stuff like world 2 world are things i will treasure for all time, the mad mike productions of the last couple of years have left me cold. i bought electronic warfare, and it's my favourite of his recent work but even that isn't very spectacular except for the amazing last track. it's a shame - in terms of imagination, his counterparts drexciya have left him standing, and even jeff mills (who i don't rate) is starting to show the guy up a bit. the cheesy secret agent-style label stories are not much more than irritating nowadays <waves> np - moment's notice - john coltrane

I like world2world too....funny, even though all the tracks sound like they were recorded on a cheap 4-track recorder, they really are quite cool :) I heard Amazon when it came out (on Colin Favor's Kiss fm show, back when it used to be good), and loved that track ever since. Jupiter Jazz isn't so bad either. But the best track i've found yet by UR is Galaxy2Galaxy's "Journey of the Dragons"....gorgeous track, one of my favourites of all time. -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
