About
UK Ambient / Techno / Breakbeat / Goa Trance label. Off-shoot of the organisation that ran Club Dog in London and the infamous touring Megadog parties, with office in Camden Town. The two biggest acts on the label, Banco de Gaia and Eat Static, had their first CD releases after signing to Planet Dog (prior to this they'd only released tapes and/or vinyl). At first the label had separate numbering for singles (e.g. BARK 001 CDS/T) and albums (BARK CD/LP 001) but following mix-ups at the manufacturing plant they decided to adopt a common scheme for both (i.e. 005, 006 and 007 are albums only; 008, 009 and 010 are singles only; etc). After the label closed in the late 90's, two further Planet Dog albums came out on the Liquid label: [r=183486] and [r=149491]. There was also a collection of Peel Sessions by three Planet Dog acts on the Strange Fruit label: [r=89564]. Several Planet Dog releases were reissued in America on Mammoth, and as of 2022 many of the original Planet Dog releases are still available direct from the label website.
