Planet Dog

UK Ambient / Techno / Breakbeat / Goa Trance label. Off-shoot of the organisation that ran Club Dog in London and the infamous touring Megadog parties. The two biggest acts on the label, Banco de Gaia and Eat Static, had their first CD releases after signing to Planet Dog (prior to this they'd only released tapes and/or vinyl). At first the label had separate numbering for singles (e.g. BARK 001 CDS/T) and albums (BARK CD/LP 001) but following mix-ups at the manufacturing plant they decided to adopt a common scheme for both (i.e. 005, 006 and 007 are albums only; 008, 009 and 010 are singles only; etc). After the label closed, two further Planet Dog albums came out on the Liquid label: Summer Night Sessions and Planet Dog - Feed Your Head 04. There was also a collection of Peel Sessions by three Planet Dog acts on the Strange Fruit label: Planet Dog - Peel Sessions - Peel Your Head. Several Planet Dog releases were reissued in America on Mammoth, although many of the original Planet Dog releases are still available direct from the label website (link below). As of July 2009, Planet Dog has released a double CD compilation of all 16 tracks that were originally released on Eat Static's 9 EP's (12" single and CD single) between 1993 and 1998. Most of the tracks only appeared on the EPs and the majority have been deleted for years! This is the first time that they've all been compiled onto one album. Also featuring 2 storming previously unreleased tracks ('Cocoon' and 'You Are Being Taken) dating from the early 1990's and recently rediscovered in the band's tape archive.
