They were techno pioneers in the '90s, but The Black Dog lost the plot badly over the past few years and put out records that were an insult to their former greatness. Thankfully, they seem to have rekindled some of their former magic.
Silenced is a well put-together collection of down tempo electronic music. There are echoes of past greatness on the ‘intelligent’ melodies of ‘Alt/Return/Dash/Kill’ and ‘Truth Benders DIE’ impresses with dramatic orchestral flourishes. It’s clear that The Black Dog are back with a bite.
