Squarepusher - Solo Electric Bass 1

I haven't checked Warp's site in ages and saw the preorder
for this. Sounds promising... No mention of this on this
board, so is this old news?

-----------
Squarepusher’s excursions as a solo bass virtuoso will be
immortalised with the forthcoming release of 'Solo Electric
Bass 1', out on August 17th on Limited CD and Digital.

This live recording was taken from one of his spellbinding
solo bass performances at Cité de la Musique, Paris in
September 2007. A performance that only consists of
Squarepusher on stage with a bass and a small amp.

It should be noted that the recording of this bare live show
has been represented in its truest form ie. in one take with
no editing afterwards. All compositions on this record are
his own.

This strictly limited release is a rare documentation for
fans of the 'pusher and anyone who wishes to explore some
highly interesting, and technically astounding compositions
with the bass guitar. Anyone who has witnessed him live
will already know of his mesmerising unique style which he
incorporates into his big production live shows.

Squarepusher’s progression to this pure musical form has
always been hinted at in his recording work prior to this
release; with instrumental tracks on Ultravisitor such as 'I
Fulcrum' and 'Andrei', the jazz trio sets of his 2005 UK
tour and his first solo bass performance in Turin the same
year alongside the London Sinfonietta, as time has gone on
Tom Jenkinson – Squarepusher - has voiced his exploration
of this expression more and more culminating in a small
European tour in 2007 which included a sold out headline
performance at the Royal Festival Hall.

I'm just hoping the sound quality's better than disc 2 off
DYKS.

Anyone heard the actual performance?

There's no doubt, his live performances are incredible, but
won't a CD of just bass solo get a little tedious?

I shall be downloading illegally i'm afraid. Just to keep
the Pusher discog completed. If it's good, then thats a
bonus.

already under the radar could become rare.

I hear you, 70 minutes of bass solo would be more than a
little tiring. However, I briefly searched for reviews of
the show and read a blog that mentioned his set lasted for
half an hour or so. Don't know if it's accurate though...

What does "Limited CD and Digital" mean?

Not sure what you mean, but I suppose it'll be released
digitally (mp3/FLAC) and physically (limited CD).

What were you answers to if you didn't know what I meant?

Hehe I'm still not sure what you mean there too.

I gave you an answer although I wasn't sure what exactly it
was you were asking (which is what I'm doing again in this
answer).

Haha! I'm not being silly! I just wondered what that meant.
I just thought the term 'Digital' covers everything from
shit quality Mp3s to Blu Ray 3d surround acrobatics.

I actually thought you were asking how it was possible for
an mp3 release to be limited!

Case closed!
