The Black Dog
Artist
The Black Dog is a British electronic music group from Sheffield, England, founded in 1989 by Ken Downie, Ed Handley, and Andy Turner.
The group was one of the main influencers of the British IDM movement in the early 1990s. The music was often produced under a number of different names, such as Close Up Over, Xeper, Atypic, I.A.O., Balil, and the Discordian Popes.
In 1995, Handley and Turner left to focus on Plaid but Downie continued working as The Black Dog on his own, releasing the critically acclaimed solo album Music for Adverts (and Short Films).
