8 Track: Plaid’s Bestest Electronic Tracks From 92

Plaid are Andy Turner and Ed Handley – as you may well know – and after 26 years of working together, they've decided it was about time they commemorated this milestone with the rite of passage all significant public figures must partake in: an 8 tracks for Ransom Note. Last year they released their tenth album, Reachy Prints. The title refers to like creating art and capturing ideas in like an art way. Over their career, their collaborations have seen them work with Björk, the London Sinfonietta, and the Southbank Gamelan Players, alongside other varied artists, and innovators in music technology.
They're also involved in the development of the Mogees Gadget, that allows you to turn any object into a musical instrument with just a small device that connects to your smart phone. By any object, we're hoping they really mean *any* object. Because we're thinking diggers, buildings, people and spoons. But I mean, if you whack anything hard enough it becomes a musical instrument really. Mate.
They'll be releasing their latest EP 'EGR45 – 00001' on the new Swedish label, Elektron Grammafon to great fanfare with an event at Corsica Studios on 15th August.
Plaid will be live at Corsica Studios on 15th August, get your tickets here, I suppose.
