Plone have had only one release as far as I know (a 7" on
Wurlitzer Jukebox). They are recent signings to Warp and so far have
had nothing out (except a track on forthcoming wap100). I heard them
in session on John Peel and they sounded a bit like an instrumental
Broadcast. But with nice soft & warm melodies rather than the
coldness of Broadcast. Would appeal to fans of Stereolab, Add N to X,
Broadcast, Flowchart, Tortoise etc.
NOTE: This gig is going out live on Radio 1 (and RA too, presumably)
John Peel also recently announced that in the next 5 weeks or so
there would be a Boards of Canada session and an Add N to X session.
A good time to get some blank minidiscs in preparation.
