Plaid – Hydrosphere
Biography
London, United Kingdom
1) Plaid (pronounced \ˈplad\) are the London electronic music duo Andy Turner & Ed Handley. They are former members of The Black Dog and used many other names (such as Atypic and Balil) before settling on Plaid. They have collaborated with female singers Mara Carlyle, Nicolette and Björk, and have released records on the labels Clear, Warner, Black Dog Productions, and warp Records.
Plaid often work collaboratively with visual artist Bob Jaroc. They have developed a DVD consisting of new material and video artwork to accompany the music, entitled Greedy Baby. The project was completed on July 20th 2005, and has premiered (in the BFI Imax cinema in Waterloo, London). Greedy Baby was released on DVD by Warp Records on May 22nd, 2006.
Various sources claim they took their name “Plaid” from the Welsh word for “Party”.

Their soundtracks are great. Though I had heard of them, I hadn't listened to them before I watched Tekkonkinkreet.

"Plaid (pronounced \ˈplad\)" are you fucking kidding me?

I wish they would make a full album that's stylistically similar to the TekkonKinkreet+Heaven's Door soundtracks.

BTW Autechre's "Cfern" (2001) sounds very congenial as later Plaid's creations.

These guys have nice enough studio stuff by the sounds of things, but live tonight in Belfast they were offensively bad. Left after half an hour.

I expect these guys to get a slight fan boost soon; they're in the video game Sleeping Dogs. In fact, the game has stations for Warp and Ninja Tune, which is fuckin' awesome. I expect more gaming nerds will soon be into these labels now thanks to the game.
