just received "Public EP" a new 12' of Douglas Benford's solo Si-cut.db out on Background/A Touch Of Class. It is very good minimal dubby techno and a perfect companion to his new album "Enthusiast". Anyway english-speaking people will provide better descriptions of his music... THE MILK FACTORY - UK - January 2002 Si-(cut).db "enthusiast" [bleep 07] Behind his look of maths teacher, Douglas Benford is a rather prolific musician. Better known for his Si-Cut.Db project, the man has released no less than eight solo albums and a handful of EPs in the last twelve years, as well as many more albums and EPs with Doug Martin, Ben Edwards (Benge), Sarah Doonican or Sarah Cracknell (St Etienne), under different monikers, amongst which Tennis is one of the best known. On top of this, Benford regularly performs across Europe, taking part in diverse cultural events, always expanding the realm of his work whenever possible. Enthusiast, released through visionary French label Bip-Hop, presents yet another evolution of the Si-Cut.db sound. After exploring sound territories are varied as jazz, drum’n’bass or electronica, Benford follows on the work started with Benge on the most recent Tennis album. Hailed as being the bridge between “micro rhythms and carpentry” by the press release, due to sounds being sourced mainly from wood processing and wooden surfaces and textures, Enthusiast presents a series of minimalist dub-inspired tracks, taking their roots in and German minimalism. If the first half of the album remains tightly sealed, with ambiences evoking the likes of Pole and sounds meticulously applied, the second half offers more colourful settings and brighter compositions. Melodies are more straightforward and structures more defined. The progressive Fluence or the almost tribal Local Colour bring more accessible elements in the soundscape, creating an altogether very different impression on the listener. Of the original sound sources, there is very little left. The digitalisation process allows Benford to transcends natural limitations and introduce some interesting concepts. Enthusiast is therefore more than a step forward for Benford, but well and truly the opening of a complete new side of his musical career. With this new album, Douglas Benford joins the cream of the German minimalist scene, as he pushes the boundaries of the genre by allowing more melodic formations to take shape. More than a bridge between "micro rhythms and carpentry", Enthusiast is putting the foundations of a link between electronica and minimalism. http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/themilkfactory/tmf.htm

12 feet?? How do you play something like that?! I don't even have a room wide enough for a turntable that big!

Nope. After a recent flurry of TBD mentions on the list, Ken and I did a volley of email exchanges. Here's a snip from the Dog's mouth which is from the first one : <snip> I'm still out here....still making a difference. After "unsavoury products" there will be another new album. (due out in about 'the spring' of 2002, i think). the tunes are done, and it all just needs finalising...etc...etc. Regards, Ken <unsnip> Keep yourself all barked up here : http://www.beatnik.demon.co.uk/ jeff At 09:33 AM 1/5/2002, you wrote:

Double Figure is Plaid. Ken is Black Dog. Although once upon a time they were one and the same it is unfortunately no longer the case... If you already knew this and it is I who is missing the point then accept my apologies... Personally though I rather enjoy Double Figure. It's a great album to give people as an introduction to electronic music. Take it easy....

Is it such a bad thing that they broke up ? If they hadn't, we wouldn't have had all the great Plaid stuff to listen to :) Has anyone heard what direction the next Black Dog is going into ? Also, anyone know if Beaumant Hannant is still making tracks ?
