Plaid’s latest studio album had all the makings of an armchair techno fan’s wet dream, especially when they’re releasing an accompanying DVD with video artist Bob Jaroc. Sure, there are some arty-farty moments masquerading as ‘statements’ – like the cacophony of voices answering the phone on ‘War Dialler’ – but thankfully, there’s enough bass heavy electro, lush Detroit techno and salsa rhythms – anyone remember their ‘Scoobs In Columbia’ release? – to guarantee that ‘Greedy Baby’ doesn’t become yet another chin-stroking IDM bore.
