I don't really enjoy squarepusher anymore

A month ago I really liked squarepusher, I loved his sound,
but now that I've been on vacation and concentrated on a lot
of music I came to the conclusion that squarepusher isn't
that good it all. Ok coopers world and beep street are very
good tracks, but most of squarepusher is un-original and
doesn't have a good structure imo. I think afx, ae, boc,
plaid etc are all way better...
any opinions?

squarepusher should hate me because everytime i want to buy
one of his records i choose afx,plaid,ovuca,the most unknown
artist but the few things i have of his stuff are great,it's
a leader as i've already said in the sense that he makes
something other artists can only try to imitate but never
do better

beep street justifies squarepushers existence.
iambic 5 poetry, tommib, greenways trajectory, tundra, theme
from ernest borgnine and My sound help.

He's awesome, but I used to like him more. He's still
amazing, but Autechre has shoved him aside and demand most
of my attention. Sorry Tommy boy!

I'm just in a cycle, and in this particular orbit, I'm not
listening to the Pusher. Gimme a month, and I bet I'll be
lovin' it again.

for me it's got to be "Fat Controller" and Big Loada just in
general... I picked up Go Plastic again for the first time
in a VERY long time and am LOVING IT STILL, like usual...
mr. tom is a genius.

I don't understand all the hub-bub either. Don't get me
wrong, I love some of his stuff Port Rhomus, Greenways
Trajectory etc. - but I don't consider any of his releases
'essential' listening.

I think Tom Jenkinson might be the most talented electronic
artist alive. Richard D. James still makes better music
than him though.

havent bought it. I bought "My Red Hot Car" though.
I'd like to see him DJing.

Well RDJ is king, his music is better, but Tom Jenkinson's
drill style is too amazing, I've never heard anything like
it, his songs make my close my eyes shake my head and scream
inwards. I didn't use to feel that way, but he blows me
away. his sequencing and drill technique are mind-blowing,
every drum sounds different, I really think he's a fucking
genius, a word I use sparingly.

you probably just listened to him too much... give him a
rest for a bit..
my taste goes in cycles too..
i was listening to sp constantly a little while ago too...
then i didnt for a while..now im starting to get back into
him again...

a far as him not being original...ill have to disagree with
that

His stuff inspired me... but now I've heard a lot of things
that I like better because they are more organic/ fading in
and out/mutating in sound more microscopically, not
digitilly at the larger scale of the drum units. Ex. otto
von schirach's 8000 bc is a whole realm more intricate. Fast
cut, copy, paste errors in percussion beat structures are
the most interesting thing about his stuff and a lot of
tracks pass the wicked test esp. big loada, maximum priest
and feed me...

hmmm... in my opinion, richard's music is tops. autechre
and BOC are good, but they don't compare to afx. and
squarepusher? for some reason, i don't really dig him too
much. some stuff is okay, but i'd much rather listen to
aphex twin any day,,, evvvvvvvrrrrrryyyyyy day...

Points: 21427 Status: Regular



yeah, rdj has a gift though. His stuff is more human in
nature... like it appeals to our monkey brains in the way
our collective consciousness evolved to operate most
naturally or something. It like using imagination to let
emerge what will emerge without questioning it. And he's
damn good at transfering his ideas into a realized finished
form (which you can play over and over). Ae seem to have
some seriously mad intelligent concepts in music, they're
expressing what's in their head in a completely abstract
form. It's like reading a book with the right brain
hemisphere only.

Squarepusher not original? Whatever you say, man.

And as far as anyone comparing him to V. Snares, fuck all
that.

Aaron Funk doesn't have as near as much talent as Tom. Tom's
last name should've been Funk.

squarepusher can take any sound and make it
Platonic..........if you know what i mean (check your
Classical history). after he manipulates a noise, you cannot
do anything with it It has a momentum and energy and drive
behind it that makes everything sub-standard compared to it.

I want my music to destroy all expectations left by anything
i've heard previously and Tom does this best with my current
mind state...
AFX, ae, phonecia, global goon, all do this....but, for me,
Tim has that special magic

tom jenkinson is the king of electronic music, imo.
i cant get enough of his shit, it's fucking mental. that's
why i like it, 'cos sometimes he just goes off and it's mad
wicked and blows everything else away.
he's also got a fucking attitude.

you thikn you're fucking hard?

yeah.. although venetian snares is cool... id have to
disagree with all these people who claim that he's better
than squarepusher...
tom's music has more dimensions than vsnares'
sure snares can be very brutal...maybe more so than
squarepusher...but that seems to be all that he does...
id like to see venetian snares make a full on jazz album...

I agree, he's got a certain charm to him, like RDJ, and you
can see/hear that in his music. It's definitely something
that a lot of these experimental/electronic/whatever artists
now-a-days lack.

yeah..he definitely adds a personal element to his music
that is exclusive to his work...just as rdj does along with
a few other artists...thats why with all the other 'drill n
bass' artists out there..when you hear a squarepusher or an
aphex track...you can tell its them without actually knowing
