"Although Plaid pre-existed the association,
the duo's Ed Handley and Andy
Turner spent most of their early recording years with third-wheel
Ken Downie as the dancefloor-confounding
Black Dog Productions. Meshing well with Downie's vision of heavily
hybridized post-techno and obscurantist thematics, the pair brought several
nascent Plaid tracks to the Black
Dog table on the group's debut, Bytes,
a collection of tracks recorded by various iterations of the three members.
The group recorded several albums and EPs throughout the early and mid-'90s,
helping to forge a style of dance music one step removed from the 12-inch
considerations of the average faceless techno act. Handley
and Turner (whose mutual love for early
hip-hop contributed BDP's more bawdy,
street-level grit) split from Downie in 1995, and since then have rechanneled
their efforts full-time into their first project, releasing an EP on the
neo-electro Clear label before signing
to Warp. The pair also recorded an album
with European techno figure Mark Broom
under the pseudonym Repeat, two tracks
of which also made it onto the South of Market
EP, released on Jonah Sharp's similarly
located Reflective imprint. Most of Plaid's
material has been issued in the U.S. through Nothing,
including the full-length albums Not for Threes
(1998) and Rest Proof Clockwork (1999).
In 2000, the pair released Trainer, a
retrospective including much of their early EP work."
