Music For Real Airports (5 CD Boxset) – Available Now

Music For Real Airports (5 CD Boxset) by The Black Dog - Promotional artwork

Collected together for the first time, this five-CD box set brings together the various works from the Music For Real Airports project.

The collection not only includes Music For Real Airports, Music For Airport Lounges, and Music For Dead Airports, but also features a substantial amount of new, unheard material, alternate mixes and live recordings taken from our archive. This second box set reflects a long and uneasy relationship with airports.

After years spent sitting in airports, travelling to and from gigs, we have seen past the polished surfaces and the promises of comfort and efficiency. They present a controlled fiction, a managed calm built on delay, surveillance and routine.

Across five hours of music, much of it previously unheard and available for the first time, the box set confronts the modern reality of travel and the corporate structures that shape it. The music documents these spaces as they are experienced rather than as they are sold.

Music For Dead Airports – Coming 6th January 2023

Music For Dead Airports by The Black Dog

To celebrate the re-issue of “Music For Real Airports” on Dust Science, we’ve created a brand new EP, this time focusing on local efforts to bring air travel to the locals around our hometown of Sheffield.

“The Black Dog present four tracks written in Sheffield airports, car parks and on the land where both once stood, channelling what should have been, instead of the feverish nightmares they became. Once again we find ourselves reflecting on the difference and why it has to be so.

Sheffield has a terrible history with airports, both attempts have now failed. Sheffield City Airport was first proposed in 1968, but it wouldn’t open until 1997. Even the low-cost flight revolution couldn’t save it, the business model was based on high-fare short-hop journeys. To make matters worse, many of the aircraft operated by the low-cost providers couldn’t actually land at the airport. The last flight left in 2002. The airport was later sold for a very controversial £1.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport, otherwise known as Robin Hood Airport, opened in 2005 and boasted a longer runway, suitable for much bigger aircraft. It managed to attract a few low-budget operators until Flybe and Wizz Air announced they’d be terminating all their flights, with the final one leaving on the 5th of November 2022.”

Released 6th of January 2023
