The Black Dog – Further Vexations – Album Of The Month – Update Magazine
Posted on 30th March 2009 in News, Press
After the cerebral trampoline of last year’s Radio Scarecrow, The Black Dog humped a punishing gigging schedule which has galvanised them into a more floor-friendly follow-up, but with an underlying message attacking increasingly-Orwellian Government tactics and public complacency at how our lives are monitored and controlled. This punk-style discontent manifests in the pressure cooker grooves underpinning piledriving tech-kneesups like ‘0093’ and ‘We Are Haunted’, the mix of boiling anger in the complex rhythms and spatial beauty of the strings often recalling Underground Resistance.
Seething emotions soar in tracks like ‘Stempel’ and ‘CCTV Nation’, the pounding grooves and intertwining textures swelling into glorious meteor-storms of rafter-swinging proportions which sometimes manage to enter the realms of avant classical. ‘You’re Only SQL’ carves a monolithic acid-funk path slashed with eerie strings and ‘Tunnels Ov Set’ hammers a slo-mo industrial dub-crash soundscape which closes the album on a suitably-ominous note. The timeless Dog have produced a work of astounding vision, terrible beauty and merciless dancefloor carnage, cocking a leg to techno glory once more but squirting out possibly their most complete work yet. Not mincing words, Further Vexations ranks among the great UK electronic albums.
Friends Ov The Black Dog – Scanner & Olga Mink
Posted on 18th February 2009 in News
Over the years we’ve be looking for strong visual artists to work with but having seen far too many bad club visuals and VJ’s playing videos of a cartoon Arnold Schwarzenegger smoking a joint we’d almost given up hope! A call from a friend said that we should go and check out Scanner and Olga’s work. We’ve been following Robin’s work for some time but living in the studio or on the road for the last two years meant we’d missed out on his latest work. After some research we found this absolutely astounding piece of work from Robin and Olga:
Further investigation just revealed even more pieces of work we instantly fell in love with, please check out Olga’s work on the link below and Scanners work by Clicking Here.
We’ll be playing a special ambient/electronica set with Olga on 21st March – Belgium – Bozar

Horizon: Cannabis: The Evil Weed?
Posted on 28th January 2009 in News
Synopsis:Cannabis is the world’s favourite drug, but also one of the least understood. Can cannabis cause schizophrenia? Is it addictive? Can it lead you on to harder drugs? Or is it simply a herb, an undervalued medicine?
Addiction specialist Dr John Marsden discovers that modern science is finally beginning to find answers to these questions. John traces the cannabis plants’ birthplace in Kazakhstan; finds the origins of our sensitivity to cannabis in the simple sea squirt; and finds out just what it does to our brains.
He meets people who have been changed by this drug in drastically different ways – from those whose lives have been shattered to those who lives have been revived.
