Review

Q (8/99, p.110) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...The scope is impressive....Thrillingly different without being remotely difficult."
Alternative Press (10/99, p.106) - 3 out of 5 - "...Plaid reveal themselves to be dilettantes, adopting a mix-and-match approach to sounds and genres that recalls Rephlex boffin and former Plaid collaborator Leila Arab....such genre-hopping and sonic experimentation serve Plaid well."
The Wire (7/99, p.67) - "...bright and breezy assortment of grroves, half-grroves, and passing ideas. Plaid's eclecticism emerges as a consequence of their abilities as producers....Their pleasant vignettes have a light, well-ordered touch that's catchy....quite friendly..."
CMJ (7/5/99, p.5) - "...uses a funky, illbient bounce of Moog-blasted hip-hop as its launchpad on the scratchadelic opening track "Shackbu," but the goodtime vibes soon make way for explorations in mood and texture..."
NME (Magazine) (6/12/99, p.32) - 7 out of 10 - "...furiously modernist and strangely quaint; breakbeat electronica that's too ornate and eccentric to be remotely streetwise....clever music for stupid summers...a joy."

Title Note

Plaid: Ed Handley, Andy Turner.

The former Black Dog pretty much reconfigured the blasted British electronica landscape of the '90s with a number of unique albums that resisted categorization. As Plaid, the sounds are just as quirky, but the arrangements are clothed in quainter patchwork styles.

REST PROOF CLOCKWORK works its idiosyncrasies in a magical way. From the trip-hopped synth whorls of "Buddy" to the rubber band twang of "New Bass Hippo," Plaid are one of the few electronica outfits unafraid of guitars, sampled or otherwise, and, in fact, know how to integrate them effectively. Plaid can be relied upon to mismatch beats, upset time signatures, vary tempos, inject a whirlwind of crazy sounds into their mixes, and generally set your lobes a-tappin'.
