Certainly exists, though I don't possess a copy.

Heard both Autechre and Black Dog on compilations, liked them both,
particularly Autechre. Never heard Bark Psychosis, will try to check them
out.

I really recommend them.... deep basslines, tribal rhythms, a dark heady
exotic feel to the music. Not really electronica, something altogether more
primal. "Seven Songs" is one of my all-time favourite albums. Haven't heard
the new album (just called 23 Skidoo) yet. The 80s stuff is very hard to get
now, but supposedly will be re-released on CD in the near future.

They have an excellent site at
