Finally I've got hold of a DAT copy of this "Trainspotter item NR 1". Artist: Plaid Title: Mbuki Mvuki Format: 12" (Minialbum) Total lenght: 44 min. Cat#: BDP001 Sleeve Notes: Ideas and structures: Ed and Andy Produced by Black Dog Productions (p)(c) 1991 All rights reserved Thanks to: Mistress of Slack The Black Dog Czech Cheese Ciappi Artwork Richie Those are the tracks! Side A: Anything: (7/10) This is exactly the same track as from the Andriod 12" on Clear. Slice of cheese: (9/10) This is a really funky track, in the same style as the funky Plaid tracks from the Scoobs in Columbia 12". Very nice trumpet melodies. One of the best tracks on the record! Link: (8/10) A beautiful track with classical Plaid melodies. Perplex: (5/10) This is the weakest track on the record. Strange sounds, strange rhythms. This track reminds me alot of the Style of BDP003. It's good but it's no more than that... Side B: Summit: (8/10) The next funky pearl on this record. Bouncing checks: (10/10) OOOhh... I got "gosebumps" when I hear this track. It sounds like a Underground Resistance Classic + The beautfuly melodies of Plaid.... Fuckin' fuckin amizingly good... Yak: (7/10) This track is also aviable on the Android 12". Scoobs in colombia: (9/10) This track is identical to the first mix from the Scoobs in Columbia 12". I've been listening to this record for about 10 times now... and its getting better and better all the time.....(Thats often the case with Plaid records) Overall rating: 9/10 (I would have given this record 10/10 if the Preplex track would have been better!) Ok. I suppose that there are quite a lot of people intersted in a copy of this "ultra rare" record. :) HAHAHAH.... Lucky for you that my holiday starts next week. So will have plenty of time to make tape copies (or what ever format you are interested in) of this record. Anyone that is interested in a copy is going to get one.... just send me a tape with some other nice music in return. Quit good deal huh? :) Just email me and you will get one! Here is my "wantlist": http://www.abc.se/~m9550/wanted.txt And here is my "got-list": http://www.abc.se/~m9550/got-list.txt I'm willing to swap other music too, just check up my want & got-list. And see if there is something that iterests you. Cheers /Henrik

Hi, it's me again. On second thought, if we're going to trade I'd be more interested in the Autechre We R are Why record and the Gescom machines our... album. Could I get a copy of these? The only other thing I can offer is a Gescom track of a Clear comp. called Gosheep and a mix of Keynell of the Future sound of Jazz(US). Please let me know.
