The black dog bytes vinyl.
In 2002 slant magazine placed bytes.
I love this production.
Black dog productions full length debut is a sprawling deviation from techno as throwaway dancefloor fare weaving surprisingly engaging melodic and harmonic passages around complex rhythmic patterns and diverse somewhat ambient atmospherics although all of the material was previously released in 12 or ep form it holds up surprisingly well as a unified coherent whole.
Probably one of the most underrated releases from the warp records catalog black dog productions bytes is a classic piece of golden era ambient techno from start to finish.
It s great to see warp reissuing this cd along with other gems from the early ninties intelligent techno electronic listening music boom.

Had two copies both awful get the regular issue on black vinyl.
It was released on warp on 8 march 1993.
Black dog productions is also the name of their own record label.
I still get perplexed with the sounds on bytes though.
The black dog have always been alien musicians and altough you can feel the detroit influence all over the place there is something to it an aura which is the only one the dog touch.
