i "still" havent bought any Squarepusher yet. What do you reccomend to buy first? From the tracks i've heard it all seems to be Drill n bass stuff like the tracks on Drukqs, is that right?
Is he a bit more diverse than that?

He's much more diverse than just drill n bass. Feed Me Wierd Things or Hard Normal Daddy are good starter albums. Music is Rotted One Note is very jazzy with little to no sampling. Big Loda is more Drill n bass style.

i have go plastic and selection sixteen (which is disappointing).
go plastic is very cool, very abstract with a couple of melodious songs.

I think feed me weird things is the one to go for though I ain't got hard normal
netlon, I think the good tracks on selection 16 are very good, just the ones that suck (the others), really suck big time

I have Go Plastic and Music is Rotted One Note, but I've heard Hard Normal Daddy and Selection Sixteen. Not sure about Feed me Weird Things yet. My first Squarepusher record was Go Plastic, and it rocks! I wasn't at all disappoitned with it.

well i probably haven't listened to it enough, actually... i got it about a year ago, and i was so disappointed by it. agreed, there are some good songs on it. doesn't compare to go plastic, however.

I think downloading a few tracks is a good way to get a feel for many artists. Squarepusher, for me, is an exception to this. His work is varied to the point where downloading a few tracks probably wouldn't give you a good indication of his body of work and style. I suggest buying a few records.

Squarepusher has a more jazzy/funky angle to Drill'n'Bass than RDJ. Probably because he plays bass-guitar.

Its obvious that he is/was into groups like Weather Report, Herbie Hanckock's bands, early 70s Miles Davis, Chick Corea Electric Band, Tribal Tech etc. Im really fond of Tribal Tech. Their new one is excellent. Its called "Rocket Science". Highly Recommended

His dad was a famous jazz drummer called Jenkinson. Bit of a fact for you there.

I read in the official aphex FAQ that Big Loda was one of the few albums rich really loves..and most of the others were really obscure.
