Black dog productions full length debut is a sprawling deviation from techno as throwaway dancefloor fare weaving surprisingly engaging melodic and harmonic passages around complex rhythmic patterns and diverse somewhat ambient atmospherics although all of the material was previously released in 12 or ep form it holds up surprisingly well as a unified coherent whole.
It s great to see warp reissuing this cd along with other gems from the early ninties intelligent techno electronic listening music boom.
In 2002 slant magazine placed bytes.
I love this production.
