Warp Records drops this little piece on their website :

The earliest Black Dog material has been re-released by Soma Records, and is exclusively available to buy at Bleep now ahead of general release on 19th March.

BLACK DOG PAGE AT BLEEP

“The Book of Dogma” collects together the seminal first three EPs (“Virtual”, “Age of Slack”, “Techno Playtime”) that the trio of Ken Downie, Ed Handley and Andy Turner originally released on their own Black Dog Productions label, plus adds in the “Parallel” album (originally released on GPR ) to make a superb 22 track album, available at a single album price.

Eventually Andy and Ed left The Black Dog to pursue their own path as Plaid, and Ken Downie remained recording as The Black Dog with several releases since on labels like Hydrogen Dukebox, Dust Science, and Soma Recordings (all these are available at Bleep as well)

The vinyl re-release of “Virtual” is now available to purchase from Warpmart, get it here. “The Book of Dogma” will be available on CD next week.
