KEI NAKANO I grew up with your techno sound.
Loving your all tracks over 30 years.
Glad to buy the vinyl here!

Andy Rogers One of those albums that really is a journey. Truly timeless. Favorite track: Psil-cosyin.

timforbes57 I have a sneaking suspicion that this was the apex of human culture. Certainly I've never heard anything that moved me the same way, I was literally stupefied the first time I heard it in 95. I had it already on vinyl but had to buy it again so I can try mixing Chesh with Chesh, and other experiments.

about

Originally released in 1995, Spanners is the second album from The Black Dog and their first for Warp Records. In 2017 it was selected by Pitchfork as one of ‘The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time’. The reissue will be the first time the vinyl is available since its original pressing in 1995. After this release the original trio of Ed Handley, Andy Turner and Ken Downie went their separate ways - Handley and Turner formed Plaid, whilst Downie carried on with The Black Dog name, initially by himself, and latterly with the assistance of brothers Martin and Richard Dust.
