Black Dog Productions
Spanners
Boomkat Product Review:
Black Dog Productions’ masterstroke of mid-‘90s electronica made available on vinyl for the first time in a generation, loaded with archetypal AI ambient acid electro techno breaks with a latinate swing.
BDP’s follow-up to ‘Bytes’ also holds among their wave’s most feted. The 19 track ‘Spanners’ is defined by melodic and rhythmic urges to some of their genre’s most piquant, Afro-Latinate ends, working intricately tricksy but eminently danceable grooves and bucolic yet cosmic hooks into a lather that bears the traces of their subsequent bifurcation into the techno-oriented Black Dog and the mazy charms of Plaid.
A key is in the title ’Spanners’, in this context arguably referring to the “spannered” psychedelic nature of their work, which brought a wide-eyed lysergic wonder to the hip hop/electro, jazz-fusion, and techno inspirations that underline their work. There’s a whole wave of armchair tokens and psychonauts who will be familiar with its high points, but newcomers need to listen for standouts in the likes of blissed downbeat ‘Nommo’, the ICBYD-esque pastoralism of ‘Pot Noddle’, the wiggy calypso of ‘Barbola Work’ or no doubt the iridescent, modal electronica shimmy of ‘Psil-cosyin’ or the feathered plucks of ‘Chesh’ and you’ll know what the fuss is about.
