"Music for real airports" is partly a reply to Brian Eno's work of the (almost) same name. The concept behind this effort can be found here very nicely written. Stealing some words from there:
"...Airports are important and revealing. They are dystopian microcosms of a possible future society. The necessity of safety requires that they be systems of human control which only elevate the stress of their transient occupiers. Airports' promise travel, exploration and excitement but endlessly break that promise with their stale, tedious pressure. They are intense and overwhelming environments..."
Black Dog in this project points the dark side of airports and the feelings of people passing through the terminal. They disorientate us with the first atmospheric ambient tracks only to lure us in compositions strong with emotion sometimes positive and sometimes dark. Rhythm and beat accompany many arrangements and in some cases monopolize the sound. Each track has a certain place in the wholeness of this concept album.
Αναμονή και διάρκεια. Μικρές ελπίδες και μια ζωή σε στάση. Το αποστειρωμένο διαπερνά και τελικά ενώνει την αναμονή στο διάδρομο ενός νοσοκομείου, το να περιμένεις το επόμενο βαγόνι ενώ έχεις ήδη αργήσει και το σαλόνι του αεροδρομίου μετά την αναβολή μιας πτήσης. Στις στιγμές της καθημερινότητας που ο «κίνδυνος» φαντάζει πολύ μακριά αλλά είναι πάντα εδώ, η αναμονή ενέχει και αυτή εναλλαγές, απάθεια, φόβο, θλίψη και ένταση.
"Music for real airports" is mainly an ambient album so to a degree utilitarian accompaniment is somehow expected but is also misleading. Tracks that stand way beyond that are for us "DISinformation Desk", "Wait Behind This Line", "Empty Seat Calculations", "Delay 9", and the grand exit from waiting and the entrance to dystopia "Business Car Park 9".
