Yeah, but don't hold it against Plaid that you bought their old stuff. You
bought a CD of theirs that's more a relic than anything. "Mbuki Mvuki" is
from 1991 (which comprises most of disc 1); of course your friends could do
better with equipment from 2001! I find "Trainer" *interesting* b/c I can
see Plaid's progression over the years, but I never listen to disc 1 for
enjoyment. You can't deny that "Angry Dolphin" (last track on disc 2) is a
great song, though.
Give "Not for Threes" a shot. And "Double Figure" is incredible... probably
their best yet. Plaid's melodic and rhythmic playfulness bring a smile to
my face more often than any artist in the genre.
Speaking of Plaid, they have a new remix on the way. Tim Hutton's (aka
Vulva) "Colours," due next month.
