		Although still he is cloudy and dreamy, the dices of the fl emerge like bandage in the original land untouchably, where copy, tropicalia, and the whole history of the eddy psychedelic of the rock in concoction intoxicating.
		The fl dices formed during the means of 1997 in Providence, Rhode Island, as a noisy, chaotic mixture of the movement of legs of early-80's-inspired and rough experimentation of the noise.
		The fl dices maintained an equally physical presence with the use of levels of the high volume and an extreme range of frequencies, although injuries got to be less frequent.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Black Dice Review
		Although it can be counterproductive to historicize Black Dice's music in such a linear fashion, I find it extremely exciting that these young noise-mongers are willing to go out on such far-reaching limbs while stringing their influences with them.
		Black Dice and Wolf Eyes, two of today's most popular noise sculptors (at least among twentysomethings), have consolidated to produce 30 minutes of that noise that you either love, hate, or simply don't understand.
		Whether Black Dice creates the sounds with guitars, flutes, or banjoes, the fact remains that it's something they can definitely call their own, remaining consistent and insistent throughout its 22-minutes of rarely chartered territory.

	* Dusted Reviews - Black Dice *
		However, the men of Black Dice were never ones to provide mere easy-listening recreation for those adventurous enough to take them on.
		Black Dice appear to be in their element on Creature Comforts, perhaps because they already know a thing or two about travel.
		Of course, Black Dice will not be lighting up the discothèques anytime soon, but the addition of sequenced grooves on tracks such as “Treetops” expands their musical palate even further away from the rock ‘n’ roll noise of their youth.

		fl emperor (gybe), leaving me to head down to the beachland solo, during a spring monsoon, on a worknight.
		they did one song that was kind of musical, where they essentially pulled off a techno song "live." the best part of the fl dice was their climax cues...most specifically the cue in the techno song that just floored my heart with its swelling bass attack.
		since the fl dice had wrapped up, only feedback drifted through the p.a., and while the house lights kept coming up and going down, it was only the sudden riffing that signaled the start of the set.

	* Dusted Reviews - Black Dice *
		There’s a pleasant irony inherent to Black Dice’s surroundings, a context not entirely separate of the band’s sound.
		Still, as evidenced by live and recorded output, Black Dice is a gloriously schizophrenic phenomenon, and “Cone Toaster” is less a dramatic departure than a new, and possibly non-committal excursion.
		Things culminate with the introduction of more organic textures, dropping live percussion and guitar in the mix, an integrated sound that is increasingly the Black Dice strong suit, a textural ratio parallel to the rhythmic interface of noise and techno.

		Music can change mood and perception of anything, and the combination of bright sunlight, blurred colour, the sensation of rapid movement and the amniotic sound of Black Dice is bringing that point home to me in style.
		Black Dice are on NYC's fearsomely cool DFA Records label.
		It's the musical equivalent of a grainy fl and white home movie shot from a train window, or the flashing, flickering psychadelia of a computerised fractal graphics program (it's goes very well with i-Tunes' built in visual effects).

	Black Dice : Black Dice - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		On their earlier 7" releases, Black Dice blended Gravity-style hardcore (not hard to imagine, since their first release was on Gravity) with an over-the-top extremity reminiscent of former D.C. terrorists Void.
		Here, Black Dice are discovering themselves and setting out on their own unique direction, one informed not only by violent hardcore of the past but also by the stylings and sentiments of some of the other bands that have crept out of the Providence, RI scene, like Lightning Bolt, Mindflayer, Arab on Radar, and Mr.
		The last three pieces evoke more of the earlier Black Dice motifs of crushingly powerful hardcore, although one, which, clocking in at nearly four-and-a-half minutes, is easily the longest track on the album, degenerates into a numbing, tweaked-out drone reminiscent of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music.

		Black Dice is now the organised presentation of improvised sound, assembled into deliberate structures based on visual concepts.
		Black Dice composed a special piece at the Fredrick Petzel gallery in NYC at the invitation of painter Richard Phillips for his ‘America’ exhibition in September 2001.

	DOTSHOP.SE - Black Dice: Creature Comforts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Black Dice venture further into their own psychedelic, increasingly electronic world with "Creature Comforts", as expansive, experimental and structurally unique as its predecessors, yet also mixing a new sense of playfulness and accessibility with naïve wonder and not-quite-steady rhythms.
		Though still hazy and dreamy, Black Dice emerge as a band on untouchably original terrain, where dub, tropicalia, and the entire history of psychedelic rock swirl in a heady concoction.
		With plenty of critical support - "Cone Toaster" was New York Times' Single of the Year; "Beaches and Canyons" made Rolling Stone editors' Top 5 - Black Dice remain provocative and uncompromising, follow their own rules, constantly reinvent themselves, and challenge listener preconceptions.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Black Dice: Broken Ear Record
		Black Dice's low-frequency torture techniques have been honed over the course of several full-lengths and a slew of twelve-inches and EPs.
		That mode of thinking seems far too safe for the men of Black Dice, who've made their mark by consistently confounding expectations and bathing their most pop-addled moments in frazzled white noise and scorn.
		Black Dice still have a tendency to degenerate into a sonic mess that sounds like an eight-bit gaming system committing suicide -- especially on stuttering bleep-outs like "Street Dude" and "Smiling Off"-- but the pummeling rhythmic pulses help to downplay their forays into forests of unlistenability.

	Brainwashed - Black Dice, "Broken Ear Record" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Black Dice find a resting point in the next couple songs, with the serene "Heavy Manners," allowing the guitar, vocals, and effects to carry the rhythmic pulse throughout the song, and "Aba," short and sweet with a pretty synth melody.
		Another couplet follows, each returning to the dissonant cacophony Black Dice fans and followers have come to expect, both are rhythmic but clouded by a mess of squeals and a roaring noise.
		Black Dice aren't making compromises despite any notions of pressure since the worldwide DFA deal, which includes exclusive manufacturing and distribution by Astralwerks/Caroline in North America, but they are clearly evolving and embracing more.

		As it turned out, Black Dice wowed 'em at both events -- attendees at Aquaplaning even managed to find a danceable groove in Black Dice's amorphous clamour, to the band's bemusement and ultimate delight.
		Black Dice have backed off from the half-minute detonations that characterized their eponymous first record, moving into more expansive compositions that merely disquiet listeners, rather than jolting them outright.
		However, Black Dice's music is an impressionistic take on popular culture, rather than an earnest attempt at cracking the top 40.

	Black Dice - Broken Ear Record - Review - Stylus Magazine
		That is a bold statement for any band, but even more so for Black Dice, considering the band has aged eight years and has leapt from seconds-long blasts of destructive noisecore to elongated passages of blissful psychedelia.
		Although Black Dice claim there were no drum machines utilized in the crafting of Broken Ear, in tone and precision the beats that back the trio’s sonic rumblings and electric squeaks certainly recall the cold, mechanical clatter of electronic drums.
		Historically, it sounds the least like Black Dice as they ever have, yet it is one of the album’s boldest—and best—tracks.

		Within this song Black Dice also exhibit their resistance to clichés by employing the shimmering sound of clean channeled guitar where so many others would opt for feedback and fuzz.

	Black Dice - Creature Comforts - Review - Stylus Magazine
		On Creature Comforts, Black Dice again tackles a corner of experimental music with relatively fresh ears—this time shedding the propulsive rhythms and high-energy fluxes for a raw, punk-tinged take on musique concrète.
		Without the intensification that density once provided them, Black Dice’s sounds seem uncomfortably flat, especially for listeners more closely attuned to experimental music—there’s an odd “throwback” quality to the band’s current template, and one is left to wonder how much of it is intentional.
		For the first time, one is left with the impression that Black Dice could do with a little more research, focused fine-tuning, perhaps even a bit more inspiration—at last, they seem to have found a guise that will take a little more work to fit.
