hard normal daddy. i choose it because it's his most
consistant as a whole.

currently, i'm listening to ultravisitor the most. i think
it is amazing.

Music is Rotted One Note

Although from what I've heard about Ultravistor, that may
beat it.

I'm not sure, although I've heard them all. Ultravisitor is
pretty good, don't know if it's his best though, have to
give it a better listen.

I think I agree with it being his best, its much better than
some of his older stuff i've heard.

My favorite today is Hard Normal Daddy, it's so easy to
listen to but if you concentrate it can get really intense.
Its also probably the most consistent.
My favorite album changes depending on what mood I'm in
between Hard Normal Daddy, Music Is Rotted One Note, Go
Plastic and Ultravisitor.

i think ultravisitor is my fave at the moment, altho it also
varies between that, go plastic and hard normal daddy. and
arent the live samples just tom's voice pitch shifted etc.
because all the audiences sound the same (kinda odd that he
would take samples all from one concert) and theres one guy
in the crowd who randomly yells stuff (ie "cmon you cunt!")
that sounds just like tom's yelling on "alive in japan"

ultravisitor.
all of the best elements of his previous records are present
here.. the jazzy experimentation | the skittering, hectic
drum+bass | the fat acid-y squelches..

its his most complete work. everything i loved about his
other records has crystallised.

i realise that ultravisitor is new, and therefore holds more
novelty value than any of his others. it hasn't stood the
test of time yet. but it impressed me more than any of his
other records on first listen (and thats saying something,
because ive loved tom's releases over the years - each one
held something new + exciting) so just imagine what
ultavisitor's going to sound like when youre more familiar
with it.

Music is Rotted One Note, by far. You are mostly dumb
people.

musicisrottedonenote is a great album - but, as i said
before, ultravisitor manages to juxtapose the jazzy feel of
that lp with his subsequent forays into heavy programming.
in a way - despite being a sprawling opus its a more
balanced squarepusher album..
sort of..

anyway - i often struggle to pick "best" album's by my
favourite artists. i tend to view the work as a whole. each
lp being just another experiment/detour in their
progression.
at this particular point in squarepusher's career - im
really liking what i hear.

oh - and i am not mostly dumb.
thankyou.

i can't believe nobody mention Go Plastic. It's his most
fucked up piece and definitely the best.

its jazz stuff is boring : on ultravisitor and rotted note
it's just one riff-one song, with boring progressions. you
can listen to Go Plastic a hundred times you'll still
discover things. No other album pushes me as far as Go
plastic.

hard normal daddy is damn old and not in a good way.

come on kids ! too afraid to listen to go plastic ?

go plastic is great. but it's really hard to choose 'the
best' album because they are different from each other. Jazz
is Tom's biggest influence in his music. so if you don't
like jazz, you are not likely to be big squarepusher fan.
Without the love and knowledge of jazz, Squarepusher
would've never being able to come out with something like Go
Plastic. Consider that

i dont need to consider it. i already agree.
some kind of passion for jazz definitely adds to the
squarepusher listening experience.

Go Plastic got me hooked on him, and keeps me hooked on him.
Music is Rotted had a rough start with me, but I'd put that
second now.

depends on my mood... and even then its hard to choose....
right now im gonna have to say ultravisitor is his "best",
for the reasons acrid milk hall put forward.... and probably
my favourite cus its so diverse, and it has the most
developed sound imo

go plastic is SO fucking dark and cold and hard and yet
still STILL MORE human than so much electrnoic, in the way
most squarepusher material is, i think its really
underrated....

anyway i like it all

saw Amon Tobin last night and he played The Exploding
Psychology... it was the highlight of his set for me
