This album is so much to take in, I've heard it about 5 times now and its only starting to make sense. There are loads of different styles on it and very little tracks that sound the same as each other its so varied, dare it say it, like Drukqs. Steinbolt and An Arched Pathway have harsh sounds and extremely fucked structures and they seem alien to me, there are lots of little inconsequential but awesome bass-heavy filler tracks and there are the Hard Normal Daddy style crowd-pleasing epics like Tetra-Sync and Ultravisitor and some neo-DYKS style stuff like 50 Cycles and Telluric Piece. I really love parts of it and I'm unsure about others so I can't really rank it in terms of the other albums yet. I'm sure it'll start to make sense by March 8th. |

Mr Funkmaster recommended suggested Iambic 9 Poetry, so I listened to it and liked it. *goes to download the rest* |

My copy of Squarewindow showed up yesterday. I didn't realise it had been downgraded from an EP to just a promo item. Since I haven't downloaded anything yet, Ultravisitor (the track) sounds very good indeed. |

I reckon the rest will be a bit too much of a good thing for your liking :P |

i'm getting kinda psyched for this release now. has anyone heard what's going to be on the 3" cd that comes with the pre-order? i really hope it's the two tracks on the squarewindow ep and perhaps something else. |

Its bastard good, love the two guitar tracks, Iambic 9 and Tommib Help Bus are phenomenal. Not really feeling Steinbolt, otherwise I love it. |

"the closest comparison I could make to this record is bitches brew by miles davis. yes, sonically and musically they are far apart, despite the obvious influences. but they are both soundtracks to very personal obsessions, the result of an artist who refuses to stay still and let the public catch up. and they are both monumental, flawed, remarkable albums. squarepusher could have spent the next five years running over ground he’s already covered – his back catalogue is already diverse enough for that. but he’s moving further and further out, probing the possibilities, staking out exploratory ground for others to expand upon and make more palatable, more commercial. when bitches brew was released, it confused a lot of people – it was a messy, sprawling thing and no-one really knew what to do with it. but look back now and it sows the seeds for so many musical forms – jungle, drum and bass, remix culture and the whole damn thing. give it five years and there’s a fair chance we’ll be looking back on ultravisitor in much the same way. david j gunn" |

Mine just came in the mail. So far it's great. Really like the bass excursions mixed in. Wierd that three tracks are exactly 8:33 long. This will get a lot of listening to. |

Man. Tetra-Sync may outdo Don't Go Plastic, Iambic 5 Poetry and Tomorrow World as my favourite Tom Jenkinson track. |

woo yay hoopla Im not sure what to think about this release yet, apart from the fact it makes everything before sound like he was messing about. This is the real shit. |

Steinbolt is great. |

Mine came today. I haven't really given it a good listen but Steinbolt, Tetra Sync and Iambic 9 Poetry are all excellent. The 3" is ok, Abacus 2 should have been on Ultravisitor imo, excellent song. Although I like the fact that the record came today they still managed to fuck up my name: Atli R ´Sgeirsson |

I nearly bought this LP the other day, but something stopped me..... There are a couple of absolutely briliant tracks which, make me thank God, that I am not deaf. e.g. Ultravisitor, Tetra-Sync. But there are a lot of filler tracks, which unlike the drukqs 'filler' tracks and piano bits, these sound like live jamming in your room being recorded. It reminds me of someone playing around trying to discover new melodies and sounds, who has recorded there experiment for later review. However, I for one don't wanna hear these experiments.e.g.telluric piece Then there are things like 50 cycles, which has the re-emmergence of the thug rap, which does my head in. Iambic 9 poetry sounds like it is lifted straight from hard normal daddy. It is a good track, but way to similar to the aforementioned album. Same with menelec, way to similar to other stuff he has done, but still a good song. c-town smash has some excellent bass on it, but there should in my opinion only be one song with bass like this, not more, e.g. 'an arched pathway'. district line ii sounds very similar to approximately 10million other songs. steinbolt is alright, I quite like that one, but not as much as ultravisitor,tetra-sync. ---------- So, basically, don't get me wrong, I do like this a lot, but a few tracks are so similar to other stuff, I feel like I own them already. A few tracks seem like real filler-sort of "hmm can't do a 40 min cd...... I know what to do!" A few tracks knocked my socks off, and are superb. So all in all, I was a bit dissapointed. Which is such a shame! p.s. Tom-please release a 12" with ultravisitor(the track) and tetra-sync for me to dj with. Cheers mate |

"not to mention the perfect sound quality" > really? well, it's normal CD quality... but i didn't find a real difference in sound between the actual CD and the mp3s i had downloaded (unlike some other albums, Kid A by Radiohead for example... Kid A has a great sound quality or mastering or whatever it is : )) and i must set the volume higher than in most CDs. but well that's no big deal ^^ i couldn't tell which tracks are my favourite, but Iambic 9 Poetry is great... hmm... *gives a quick listen to all tracks to remember which are which* |

Ultravisitor: probably the best "live" track on the album after Tetra-Sync! very nice... 9/10 I Fulcrum: nice one, though not absolutely unforgettable. 7.5/10 Iambic 9 Poetry: great. one of my very favourite >[] tracks, if not THE favourite of mine! 10/10 Andrei: yes, i like the style - it isn't any original as music, but as a >[] track it is, unlike anything he had done before... a very nice intermission! 8.25/10 50 Cycles: one of my favourites on the album, imo much better "rappy" >[] track than Do You Know Squarepusher? (which i use to like but bores and annoys me now). the ending though is not that memorable, too bad. 8.25/10 Menelec: is this a remix of Go Plastic? anyway, pretty good. 7.5/10 C-Town Smash: a little mono-instrumental (or almost) thing, more an intermission than a real track but not unpleasant! 7/10 Steinbolt: aggressive but kinda cool, i like the guitar-like melody/riff (?) at the beginning... and some other parts... it could have been shorter though. 7.2/10 An Arched Pathway: i do not think this track was *necessary*, it isn't bad but nothing that isn't heard elsewhere with the other tracks.... 7/10 Telluric Piece: hmmm.... i didn't even notice this one when i was listening to the album, sounds like a part of another track or something... now that i hear it, it's pretty good... 7.5/10 District Line II: is it just me or does this track sounds quite a lot like Venetian Snares in parts?? 6.5/10 Circlewave: ok, though not one of my favourites... 6.5/70 Tetra-Sync: very good one, very good rhythm and melody! =) 9.5/10 Tommib Help Buss: bah, i don't like the track title. the track itself is a bit like a lullaby. not one of my favourites. 6.5/10 Everyday I Love: (cf. Andrei) : ) 8.25/10 |

by the way, not the track but the name "I Fulcrum" appeared twice in my dreams... i don't remember, i think once it was something written in arabic in Prince Of Persia which read "I Fulcrum" (only in my dream of course), the other time i forgot ' _' that's weird. |

i'm not best fan of >[] but this album is really a masterpiece and i can't stop to listen it. track1 'ultravisitor' is good, and in the final minutes become wonderful! what a great apocalyptic melody! track3 is another great track, but i think tom jenkinson's class explode during track13 'tetra-sync'. and what about 'sqaure-window' 3"cd? another fuckin' great mini work signed by tom. probably i should become a real >[] fan... |

i wasn't that enthousiastic when i heard about the new SP, but then my girl bought me this cd and now i'm lovin' it more and more :) i'm not that much of a SP fan and most other albums/ep's i have by him contain a lot of weak/filler tracks imo, but this album is quite good, a nice combination of his bass skills and his wicked beatwork recommended! |

this got boring fast but there's still some great tracks on it. |

yeah i don't think it's his best work.. it's not possible to listen the whole thing. it's got great tracks but, as an album, go plastic! is better |

the live aspect really turns me off from this cd. still enjoyable though. |

i think it's betterr than i firrst thought. |
||||||||
|
|

|
i still do not like Ultravisitor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a very good release, but i dont think its: A) best of 04 or B) best sp has released. that being said it is one of my favorite albums in a long time, although i have to skip some of the noise tracks (namely 9 and 10, but that is all) i can listen from the whole album from start to finish, but it takes me more than one sitting. my fav track is district line II, he takes what he did in go plastic and expands on it, which he should do more of imo |
