Description:
Plaid are arguably Britain's most influential electronic act. The twosome--both former members of Black Dog--have been responsible for some of the most groundbreaking electronic music ever recorded. Trainer is an attempt to chronicle the pair's early '90s heyday. Comprising rare singles and unreleased tracks, it's more an alternative history than a comprehensive "best of" compilation. Still, it does contain some of the duo's most inventive and enjoyable material. Ed Handley and Andy Turner have always worked across the dance spectrum, and Trainer fluctuates between playful electronica, chattering techno, and prototype
Plaid are arguably Britain's most influential electronic act. The twosome--both former members of Black Dog--have been responsible for some of the most groundbreaking electronic music ever recorded. Trainer is an attempt to chronicle the pair's early '90s heyday. Comprising rare singles and unreleased tracks, it's more an alternative history than a comprehensive "best of" compilation. Still, it does contain some of the duo's most inventive and enjoyable material. Ed Handley and Andy Turner have always worked across the dance spectrum, and Trainer fluctuates between playful electronica, chattering techno, and prototype jungle. They even find space for some Latin house, blissful ambiance, and rave-era breakbeats. All 25 tracks are blessed with Plaid's trademark electronic melodies and deft synth touches. It's this attention to emotion, mood, and melody that elevates Handley and Turner above their workmanlike peers. Trainer is a fitting tribute to their genius. --Matt Anniss
