After hearing their name for years I finally checked them out. How have I gone so long without listening to them?! "Not For Threes" is incredible.
Where should I go from here?

I heard them for the first time back in October last year. A friend of mine had the Greedy Baby DVD. I love the bizarre chords and structure they use.

Yay!
Definately get Trainer, it's one of those "must-have" electronica albums that people talk about, apparently.

I really recommend to listen to them chronological, this way you will grow with them. Also, don't hurry with it.

I so agree with thee neon r@, Marry is their best song ever. I've seen it live with a sublime lightshow and footage of the war in Iraq, I had goosbumps all over!

im jealous! i'd kill to see that live. war footage works nicely with that track as i often bust it in the car while aggressively driving on the highway

Ya Plaid are good. Also check out Black Dog Productions, the infant years of the duo. 'Bytes' is excellent.

*Bump*

After several months on my hard drive, I'm down with "Not For Threes"

If you're a regular on this board and haven't given this record much thought, it's TIME.

Their soundtrack for the Tekkonkinkreet movie is excellent, worth grabbing even if you never intend to watch it. Also their track 'Eyen' is a beauty!

double figure is my favourite by them...for some reason I just couldnt get into any of their others.

and eyen is definitely a beautiful track.

Plaid rules. Handley is a master of chord progressions; i'm also really happy that his Balil project is back (Francesco Tristano - The Melody (Balil remix))

Quite funny that is.. most of the time Double Figure and Spokes are the albums peeps like the least. Double Figure is also my fav and Spokes is a very good second. I guess I like them more because they are less accessible and therefor have longer playability?

This one?? -> "Radio Scarecrow" by The Black Dog on April 7th 2008

I understand Black Dog Productions is one of their many names.

Plaid, Balil, Tura, Atypic, The Black Dog are all incarnations. The Black Dog have nothing to do with the two Plaid members anymore. The Black Dog are now on Soma and Dust Science with Rich and Martin who run the label. At one point The Black Dog consisted of Ken Downie, Ed Handley and Andy Turner ... now only Ken remains from the original line up. Ed and Andy are now Plaid.

The 'Trainer' compilation album is good to hear the origins. Their remix of Bjork's 'All Is Full of Love' is really nice.

Been a fan since first hearing 'Bytes' when it was released. The 'Spanners' album by The Black Dog is immense! I still have the 'Restproof Clockwork' promotional sticker sheet untampered with from Warp when the Plaid album came out

Some Plaid for you all (the Midsummer mix is gorgeous) -

I love that movie!

Black Dog - Trojan Hours [part 1 & 2] is AWESOME!
