Review: For their first foray into the full-length format as Application, Sheffield producers Martin and Ruchard Dust (sometime partners in The Black Dog with original founder Ken Downie) have decided to stick to a strict set of rules. What these rules are remains frustratingly unclear, though it did involve building tracks from sounds created on custom-built drum and bass racks. The resultant set is typically industrial and bleak in outlook, with only a trio of tracks - the beautiful Ambient B", "Ambient A" and the triumphant "Steve Reich's Ice Cream Van" - breaking free of the duo's self-imposed rhythmic constraints. That said, there's still plenty enjoy elsewhere, from the skuzzy techno of "Siren" and clandestine IDM of "Format", to the steel-clad machine electro of "Swith".

Review: The legendary Black Dog return with more immaculately designed and forward thinking electronics on their own Dust Science imprint. Nowadays comprised of Ken Downie and Martin & Richard Dust, they've certainly still got it, and this is testament to it! The album goes from dreamy soundscapes and imaginary soundtracks ("Phil 0114" and "The Frequency Ov Thee Truthers") to even Autonomic style drum and bass on tracks like "Phil 3 to 5 to 3" but there's straight up techno later on in the album as heard on "Self Organising Sealed Systems" and "Commodification" and the absolutely mental "Hollow Stories, Hollow Head". Great song titles, that's a given. Essential listening.

Review: Some 20 years after the release of seminal debut Temple of Transparent Balls, a landmark British techno set, Ken Downie (with long term sidekicks Martin and Richard Dust) is ready to unleash his 10th full length. Given that Downie arguably did more than anyone else to define the "intelligent techno" sound, it's pleasing to find that Tranklements is full of the kind of bubbling, melodic, off-kilter fare with which he made his name. While there are true dancefloor moments - see the sweaty "The Pay Crash I" and "II", or the spine-tingling hypnotism of "Cult Mentality" - the album's finest moments are those that cut a more considered figure; the Artificial Intelligence-era IDM of "Internal Collapse" is particularly impressive.

Review: Around 2008 The Black Dog landed on Soma with Radio Scarecrow. At this point the shape-shifting project was well-established as a separate entity from the early Warp years, as original member Ken Downie was joined by Martin and Richard Dust to extol a faintly gothic strain of electro-techno romanticism. 'Ripheadv9' is a fine case in point - a three-dimensional sound world shrouded in grey cloud but shot through with flashes of technicolour light. There's industrial pallor, synthetic melancholy and a heavy payload of atmosphere in abundance on this finely sculpted modern masterpiece, which has been revived with even greater detail thanks to this remastered CD edition on their own Dust Science label.

Review: While Black Dog founder Ken Downie has rarely been one to talk candidly in the press, his current studio partners, Martin and Richard Dust, have been known to deliver angry missives on a variety of topics. It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that the trio's latest album- their first for nearly three years - appears to have been inspired by the current state of politics and the media. Full of knowing track titles, melancholic refrains, frustrated rhythms, dystopian soundscapes and angry motifs, the album's thought-provoking intent is rather overshadowed by the quality of the music on offer. You'll find bustling electro, end-of-days ambient, rushing cinematic techno, IDM and the kind of hard-to-pigeonhole fare that inspired then NME journalist Mixmaster Morris to come up with the now familiar "intelligent techno" tag.

Review: The Black Dog's Foucauldian 2009 CD opus hears an honorific remaster and reissue through Dust Science on vinyl, extending the trio's concern with Orwellian surveillance and state-capitalist intrusions into the present. "From billion-dollar corporate entities openly mishandling our data for profit to highly targeted and manipulative political propaganda campaigns, the misuse of our data and communications is far more sophisticated and devious than originally envisaged," says tBd's Martin Dust of the sinister side of today's sociopolitical climate. The tracks therein still elicit much emotion, with 'Northern Electronic Soul' especially charging our intensities despite moods of data scouring and electromagnetic hoarding and 'Skin Clock' co-opting even the more glamorous ends of modern techno-life.

Review: Initially released a track at a time over lockdown and later reworked into a "proper album", Fragments sees electronica veterans and UK techno pioneers the Black Dog rolling back the years in impressive fashion. Long-time fans will hear echoes of their inspired Artificial Intelligence-era work scattered throughout the set, alongside mesmeric, often rhythmic forays into minimalist ambient, slow-motion techno, decidedly cinematic compositions (see the gloriously positive and widescreen 'Black Smoke') and fractured drone soundscapes that provide hazy, atmospheric relief. With this CD edition also including a range of bonus tracks not available on other versions, it should be essential listening for those with even the slightest interest in the iconic, Sheffield-based trio's work.

Review: Originally released in 2005, Silenced captures the essence of The Black Dog's enigmatic allure, transporting listeners to otherworldly realms with its lush, tuneful compositions and angular genius. Each track on the album is a testament to the group's unparalleled ability to surprise and entrance, evoking a sense of both unease and beauty. For fans of The Black Dog, Silenced serves as a welcome treat, while also serving as an entry point for those new to the group's mesmerising soundscapes. Definitelt one of their best full length albums yet to date.
