Plaid (pronounced \ˈplad\) are the London based electronic music duo Andy Turner & Ed Handley. They are two of the founding members of The Black Dog, releasing their first EP in 1989 and signing to Warp Records in 1991. They have used many other pseudonyms including; Atypic, Repeats and Balil, but have focusing on Plaid since 1995. They have released 11 studio albums as Plaid, from 1991's 'Mbuki Mvuki', to 2022's 'Feorm Falorx'. 

Various sources claim they took their name “Plaid” from the Welsh word for “Party”.

Nachdenken. Solo act by Jörgen Andersson. The music that I made are occasionally created out of experimentation and d.i.y-solutions where modular systems like eurorack comes in mind. 
My first attempt was experiments in the mid-80’s where made with a Korg MS-20, SH-202 , Drummatix/TR-606 thru a boss delay and a DIY spring reverb and onto a tape deck (later porta studio). 

The music making took off from listening lot to bands in the post-punk and the so called krautrock era. That was inspiration mainly from British synth oriented bands like Cabaret Voltaire, (early) Human League and the German Kraftwerk of course. 

Later on I met Peter Fransson aka Retep Folo in the early 90’s and we started experimenting cassette tape looping and recorded under the name INTONARUMORI. Later on we started Hadley with Svante Sjöstedt on guitar. We made a CDr that got some attention. An journalist at Göteborgs Posten compared us to Roxy Music and Gary Numan. Me and Peter did some gigs as duo Further on It developed to Exhadley with Peter Fransson on bass and Rickard Olsson on Drums. We were starting to play live

There is some later collaborations like:
tNt - Estrella: flute, spoken word, performance art.
Other colaborations: Jonas Olsen (Bohemian Groove), Pontus Torstensson (Tentakel...) Mag Ågren (Sork., Trapped in a loop), Rickard Widerberg (Trapped in a loop).
