.......So what inspired Music For Real Airports? “In ’79, when I first heard Music For Airports by Brian Eno, I remember reading a great article about it and it sounded so fantastic conceptually.
“I remember listening to it and being incredibly disappointed. Because of my punk background spent living and working up north I don’t think there were much realism in there. I understood that he were pitching it at a utopian vision, but for us it just seemed so out of place, like something from a sci-fi film.”
Slam's monthly residency, Return To Mono at the world-famous Sub Club in Glasgow, has become a staple of the ever-advancing music scene in the West of Scotland. Guests like Ivan Smagghe, Adam Beyer, Alex Under, Claude VonStroke, Dusty Kid, Paul Ritch & Marc Houle have brought some delights to the club - but the one thing that has cemented Return To Mono in Glasgow's clubbing history has been the quality and consistency of Slam's warm-up sets. Orde & Stuart have been perfecting their trade for many moons, and this is evident when you catch a Return To Mono set.
Our Monopod series is recorded Live from these special nights in Glasgow's Sub Club and is usually the first hour of music in the club. So expect a mellow journey from dub and lo-fi through to deep, grooving house music.
This set in particular was Slam's warm-up to Nick Curly, who really rocked the Sub Club that night.

Airports have some of the glossiest surfaces in modern culture, but the fear underneath remains. Hence this record is not a utilitarian accompaniment to airports, in the sense of reinforcing the false utopia and fake idealism of air travel. Unlike Eno's Music for Airports, this is not a record to be used by airport authorities to lull their customers.
The album is a bittersweet, enveloping and enormously engaging listen. It is ambient, but focused. This is not sonic mush, nor adolescent noise. Nor is it a dance album. Much of the raw material of the album was made in airports over the last three years. While on tour, the Black Dog made 200 hours of field recordings, much of which was processed and combined with new music in the airport itself, waiting for the next flight. This vast amount of content has been slowly distilled into a set of particularly evocative pieces of music.
Composed in large degree of drones there is little in the way of beats until half way through - but rhythm is plentiful within the buzzing synthetic warmth. This record is not necessarily a comfortable listen. But it captures the spectrum of emotions stirred by airports. There is tension and disappointment. But there is also romance and excitement. All this on this record.
We at Soma are proud to present this modern day musical journey, this is one of those albums that you really need to listen to from start to finish in order to "get it", which is something thats increasingly rare in modern music. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
Bonus Mix: The Black Dog – Drifting Ambient Mix May 2010
"It’s not often we get asked to play or make ambient sets (Soma asked), in all the clubs we visited over the last 3 years we haven’t seen a single chill out room! It’s a shame they’ve dissapeared because there’s some great music out there that’s not getting the audience it deserves. This mix is to support Music For Real Airports and to show just how wide the spectrum of techno is, we make techno, it’s the only name we need. Enjoy."
