the black dog were the musical wing of the KLF. it never went deeper in the nineties. ever.

this is 100% channelled music.

they were literally the only thing that could hold a candle to hardcore - in fact they burned hardcore crispy too. fabio CANED virtual. absolutely rinsed it.

and THEY WERE COMPLETELY ALONE. i mean, NO-ONE WAS MAKING THIS KIND OF MUSIC. they were isolated on all fronts. most of the white techno bobbins dudes *did not get it*. the only people who got it in the early days were carl craig - and to his eternal credit kirk de giorgio

i mean, i don't relish having to take this tone, but *really*...... i mean, if you care to actually take some time to listen you may understand what i'm talking about. maybe you won't? :love:

100% behind this luka-style Mattbot Black Dog drop.

the early EPs really do have a unique brand of magic. maybe the only dudes to match Detroit in machine funk, and without being imitators (influenced of course).

in my head I probably slot them closer to LFO or even Altern 8/Nexus 21 than like, B12 or whatever, tho ofc I say that as a person who wasn't there at the time.

I particularly like the turn of the 90s cyberpunk vibes, explicitly referenced on Techno Playtime EP but present throughout - imagining the future is such a cyberpunk line.

early Aphex - SAW I thru Didgeridoo - has the magic too but different, provincial weirdo's singular take on acid or idk. Gone for me by SAW II, predictably have argued so w/Droid before.
