other than a tacky pattern:

Plaid is Ed Handley and Andy Turner, former members of The Black Dog productions.

Plaid have been adding their quirky, skitterish beats and melodies to Warp Records since 1997.

A side project of The Black Dog, plaid have collaborated with Björk and Nicolette among others. The Black Dog were involved with WARP in the early days, and appear alongside Polygon Window and others on Warp's Artificial Intelligence compilation.
