Im still deciding to go down the "download it and spoil the surprise" road... or the "fork out hard earned money and smile or cry with what i hear" road...
does this release sound like go plastic ? or is it some jazzy waffle :-/

Is that an order????
I'll probably give in after a few weeks... maybe days... I mean, it'll probably kill me if I hear people talking about it here, when I'm planning to wait till...(when is it?) SEPTEMBER!!?! argh!

All I've heard so far is the "Love Will Tear Us Apart" cover. Out of 5 I'd have to give it a 0. When doing a cover or something I think it's customary to put some of your own personality or style into it and in this cover I really don't hear all that much of that being done. To me it sounds like Mr. Pusher simply tried to recreate the original as closely possible with the instruments and samples he had near by. The song structure follows almost exactly the same and it's not too hard to visualize it as the original only with better production. If you'd like a better cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart", I recommend Human Drama's version.

cd 2 live tracklisting:
1) conc 2 symmetriac 2) the exploding psychology 3) my red hot car 4) do you know squarepusher? (wap155) 5) the second live track that pabs posted (possibly a new mix of dimotane co from feed me weird things)
6) boneville occident 7) go! spastic 8) greenways trajectory 9) my fucking sound 10) anstromm feck-4
This cd 2 is NOTHING special (if u got Go Plastic), download the Frigid live set instead, its better sound quality and a more hungry TJ. CD 2 is weak :(

How about waiting until you buy the actual release and then rate it?
Kinda like judging a meal based on the smells from the kitchen before it gets to your table at the restaurant :)

i got around the "shall i download and spoil the surprise" complex by downloading the first 1 or 2 mins of each track. Here's what i think! :
1) fucking excellent, even though we all had it last december!! :-) 10/10
2) nice production. very dark. very silly. 5/10
3) hmp. strange 4/10
4) bassline is soooo shit! drums are excellent though 7/10
5) sounds a bit boring 3/10
6) sounds a bit boring 3/10
7) fucking execellent!!!! fucking excellent!!! squarepusher should do more of these!!! im not being sarcastic!! that beautiful ambient sound in the back is amazing!! this sounds like it should have been on kid a / amnesic!!!
there you go, another average Squarepusher release i think, 90% shite and 10% genius like all his other stuff !!!
but the 10% genius is worth it!

The ratings:
1. Reasonably good but nothing mindblowing: 4/5
2. The first concrete evidence that Tom is going insane: 2/5
3. Really good. Lovin' it. 5/5
4. Too catchy to resist. 5/5
5. (No comment)
6. Interesting soundscape but not my thing. 3/5
7. The worst piece of shit I've listened to in the last 5 years. 0/5

So how long are all the tracks on disc one then? Only 7 songs... it seems so short, more like an EP... unless there are some 10+ min tracks on there (if disc 2 really is a live-recording, i'd consider that a bonus-disc... wouldn't really view it as a double-album). I can't (and wouldn't want to!) download it myself, so i was just curious.

I love this release! Its been on repeat for 24 hours haha! Great headfuc...i mean headphone music! It gets 5 out of 5 ! The only mediocre track is "Anstromn Feck" i think , just regular old pusher drilling! the other tracks got more inovating techniques!

1)7/9 2)3/9 3)4.5/9 4)7/9 5)3/9 6)4/9 7)3.5/9
disc 2 is great! decent tweaking on []pusher favs!
It now all depends on the price scheme for this release on if i'll buy it. i got it in mp3...but only in 160 kps...if i can't find it in 192...and they don't classifiy the cd as a double LP (thus 20+ $$$)...id definatly buy it.
actually...i'd much pefer just donating to []pusher 20 bucks, and be all like "here, ur music is great...this is all i can afford, but i'm sure it's a lot more than what you get from me buying ur cd. :) )

tits: at the mo, there are 2 different encodes outthere...an early 128kbs one, & a 160kbps one that's appeared more recently...
I guess it just depends on who's doing the leaking...quite a few people have the CD already so the leak could be coming from anywhere really...
