 Plaid/Bob JarocGreedy Baby Release Date 2006 07 11 Label Warp Rating:  Hiring a video director for some value-added content at the end of a CD is one thing, but when a techno act co-bills said director for a CD/DVD package, something special must be going on. Bob Jaroc is a Brighton-based "visual engineer" who provided accompanying film for a new Plaid work, first heard in 2004 at a few British festivals and performed in 5.1 Surround Sound. After a few minutes of randomized modem dialing and voices asking "Hello?," Plaid begin the true program with &"I Citizen the Loathsome," an aptly cinematic piece that slowly comes together amidst Jaroc visuals involving slowly revolving scenes of British nightlife. (Nightlife of a sort, that is; parked cars and deserted streetscapes, not strobes and sweaty dancers.) Subsequent videos involve yet more urban nightlife, Asian dentistry, entomological Rorschach blots, and for the capstone (&"The Return of Super Barrio"), an animated storyline involving a hero of lucha libre (Mexican wrestling). Plaid's accompaniment is more atmospheric and esoteric than the increasing electro bent of Spokes and Double Figure. [Besides videos for each track, the DVD also offers four extra videos, in 5.1 mixes, of older Plaid tracks, including &"Assault on Precinct Zero" (from Double Figure) and &"Crumax Rins" (from Spokes).] John Bush, Rovi |
