How do people rate these two squarepusher albums? I have hardly (if ever) heard these mentioned on the mb. |

i think stereotype is the one with "whooshki"? if it is,that is a breathtaking piece of work...it sounds really afx-ish,not really a bad thing... maximum priest,in my opinion,has only one or two good tracks on it,the vibert mix,and the ae mix...first album i bought from squarepusher,and i was very disappointed luckily i found go plastic after that :) |

i've got the maximum priest album cover on my wall.. I used to liten to 'my underwater torch' exclusively, but then I fell asleep with it playing the other day and woke up to some of the later tracks, and they're quite tasty too. some of them sound like 'go plastic' only less spastic. listening to aphex twin - ventolin (cylob mix) now. cylob is god. |

Stereotype i've had for a long time and have become quite familiar w/ it. its a decent piece to have. side A i don't really like all that much. "Whooshki" is ok and has a very Sqp melody to it but goes on for way to long. reminds me of "A Journey to Reedham" in a way also holding the same position on the record as that track would. "1994" is the worst track on there. side B is more refreshing. "O Brian" is nice. i'd have to say that "Greenwidth" and "Falling" are the best tracks w/ "Falling" growing into the best spot. "O Brian (darkness)" is like a shorter recap of the original w/ a little different mood to it. many people would perfer this EP to the Crot EP which is just really old prosthetic sounding hardcore 4 on the floor stuff. and interesting debut w/ no bass guitar whatsoever. |

I think maximum priest is the wickedest squarepusher album in terms of sound quality. I probably like it as a tie with feed me weird things and big loada, but the latter two are different- more focused on complex percussion placement, not as focused on making the sounds themselves interesting. It's sort of like maximum priest is analogue and the others are digital. Plus I think he had a bit of aphex's weirdness in him with maximum priest, doing some totally weird things like saying bizarre disturbing things in nonsense lyrics. |

and some of the melodies in max are bizarre and striking, quite good and aphexy weird, better than other albums by him. |
