So, in case you were just about to, you needn’t pay through the nose to import this curio in the Warp Records legends’ discography; all you need to do is click here to buy it from Bleep.com.
If you haven’t seen the film or heard any of the score and you’re into a spot of ‘try before you buy’, have yourself an earful of these…
And don’t forget, Scintilli, Plaid’s first studio album proper in eight years (and, according to us, “a typically virtuoso display of synaesthetic eclecticism, veering from Mike Paradinas-esque baroque twinkles to fuzzed-out bass massages, from glacial, Whac-A-Mole synth stabs to ambient menace in which refracted images of Salvador Dali clocks rain down from red skies and nothing is quite as it seems”) is also available now.
