Squarepusher
Mu-ziq
Prefuse 73
Venetian Snares

That'll do me for now. I'm going through a load of artists
I've managed to ignore until now.

Songs, preferably, so I can then check out specific albums
if I like any of the tracks.

sqaurepusher-big loada
µ-ziq-bilous paths
prefuse73-vocal studies+uprock narratives
Venetian Snares-EVERYTHING

i know alot about venetian snares so here's what you should
know. every album is different.

Songs About My Cats-Insane IDM

Making Orange Things-Gabber/Hardcore, pretty much the
hardest album ever, vocals by speedranch

Printf<"Shiver in eternal darknes"/n>-Older, fucked up drum
n bass, not his best.

Doll Doll Doll- Really cold, mutant drum n bass fuck ups

Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006- This is
basically the best one to get started on. It fucks the line
of too hard/not hard enough constantly, and it will make you
love him.

2370894-collection of unreleased tracks picked by mike p.,
mostly crazy idm worth it just for fuck toronto jungle

Fuck Canada//Fuck America-16 track split with stuntrock, not
the best work from either artist, some stand out tracks
though.

Winter in the Belly of a Snake-Coldest album. insane spastic
glitch.

i think thats it from his albums.

oh yaeh, chocolate wheel chair album- not out yet, but
available on soulseek, haven't heard the whole thing yet
beause i have a mac, but the samples lead me to believe that
this album is insanely good

squarepusher - go plastic, hard normal daddy

µ-ziq - bilious paths, tango n vectif

prefuse73 - [i don't own any albums yet but i really like
the track nuno (i think thats what its called) from
warp:routine compilation and one of the albums]

venetian snares - doll doll doll

oh right

find candace is alright. it's kind of like if he made doll
doll doll after he learned all the methods/tricks he used
from higgins and winter

for Squarepusher...:

· Feed Me Weird Things is good but i think Hard Normal
Daddy is better, in the same genre (of jazzy idm).

· Go Plastic is OK... it's not my favourite but it is
varied and all, can be a good indicator of what Squarepusher
is like. if you get this, be sure to get the Nothing Records
version though / the Warp version has only the 7 or 8 first
tracks (and you'd miss Port Rhombus, which would really be
too bad!)...

· Music Is Rotted One Note is very very different, it's one
of the most "organic" electronic albums ever - in fact, it's
not as idm as it is free jazz... it is a record you can love
or hate, personally i love it.

· Go Plastic is like searching your way through a deep wild
jungle (not the musical style, the environment!) of
sounds... it is not the easiest to get into but it is well
worth it!

· Burningn'n Tree is a collection of his old tracks... it
is not absolutely mindblowing, but it is very good still,
and has its own taste... if you're a casual Squarepusher
listener, you can do without it but if you're a fan, it is
recommended!

i'd rate out of 10:

Feed Me Weird Things - 7
Burningn'n Tree - 7
Hard Normal Daddy - 8
Go Plastic - 7
Music Is Rotted One Note - 10
Go Plastic - 9

for the rest, i don't know Prefuse 73, don't care much about
µ-ziq and don't really like Venetian Snares, so i can't
help : )

I took a long look through Xltronic, Squarepusher.com and
Amazon for SP.

Music is One Rotted Note sounds fantastic. A couple of the
mini-album ones released after it seem cool, too. And the
last two (Go Plastic and Do You Know Squarepusher) I quite
liked the sound of.
The earlier more drum'n'bassy ones didn't appeal to me much.
Everything I downloaded from him a while back was from them,
and with the exception of Tundra, left me incredibly
unimpressed.

I've not found much info on Mu-ziq yet, but checked out some
tracks from Bilious Paths (as recommended), and they seem
quite good, if a tad unvaried.

The research continues.

Mu-Ziq- I'd check out Midwinter Log, my favorite Mike P
track. Squarepusher- Do You Know Squarepusher? (the track,
not the flop album). Prefuse 73- Bust Signal, Venetian
Snares- All the Children are Dead.

I'm going to play All the Children are Dead at full blast
while the kid's are trick or treating.

The mini albums you talked about are good but slightly
insubstatial I think. Music Is Rotted is amazing but the
again it's definetly not for everyone. To me, Feed Me Wierd
Things is the best Squarepusher album and if you like Tundra
then I'd reccomend that, but I don't know what else you've
downloaded. I'd say go with Go Plastic first.

moment
