Another one to log under "influences": The Black Dog were among the first acts to grab me into the world of electronic music. Their abstract techno ditties were challenging back then but now an absolute joy.
Out soon is Music for Real Airports, a brand new album from The Black Dog positioned as a contemporary response to Brian Eno’s seminal but rarely interrogated 1978 ambient work Music For Airports. Going up against Eno in his pomp might seem like a foolhardy pursuit, but Music For Real Airports is a strikingly well-realised and satisfying work, and an ambitious start to the new decade from a group which seems set to innovate and inquire long into the future.
In the meantime, check out The Black Dog’s FACT mix - a set comprised entirely of remixes of, or by, the group. DOWNLOAD HERE.
