As part of maintaining The Black Dog's back catalogue, Dust Science has now re-issued the 2010 album, »Further Vexations«. It's a real successor to »Radio Scarecrow«, moving forward with the dark tone and concepts, moving beyond the world of open secrets and the bemusing transmissions of number stations, to exploring the dark cynicism of Orwellian practices carried out by our governments, institutions and corporations.

10 years on, the references to George Orwell's 1984 appear to be a little naive and wholly inadequate. From billion-dollar corporate entities openly mishandling our data for profit to highly-targeted and manipulative political propaganda campaigns, the misuse of our data and communications is far more sophisticated and devious than originally envisaged.

The stark omens of »Further Vexations« are now more prophetic than ever.
