In, you know, Lamen's terms. |

i have it in my ipod listening on my way to and from work so i don't know any track names or even numbers... there are certainly quite a few really great songs on it, but the album as a whole i find quite boring. and i would have preferred ultravisitor to be much more electronic. |

i loves it.... trk 1, "ultravisitor" is a masterpiece of pounding percusion, washed out hi-hats, great >[] melody. trk 2, the way it bleeds from the previous track and serves as a tense little intro to trk 3, 50 cycles - incredible.... great use of an extra-long intro with lots of detail before the banging climax "steinbolt" - didn't like it at first but now it begs me to be played over and over - squarepusher makes you anticipate the final run of trash/jungle so well. "melenac".... intstant TJ "district line 2".. my current favourite..... so many false starts and it juts sets up its own unique atmosphere.. "welllcommmmmmme tooo flllllllllllllaaatbush" "tetra sync".... memories of Hard Normal and Music is Rotted... a great last pounding number before the calm of the last 2 tracks which have there own subtle charm. |

Some of it is good, I'm not sure about the rest yet. It's a good sign that different people like different bits. |

by jove, ultavisitor is much better than ultravisitor... and skuarepusher is much better than squarepusher... and Autecre are much better then Autechre... and Apex Twin is much better than Aphex Twin, and WhopperAttack is much better than WooferAttack |

i may have to change my mind here... i've been listening more to ultravisitor (like 3 times today already) and must say it's getting better and better each time. i will have to revise my post where i say the album is boring. (can't believe i used the b-word...) if ultravisitor keeps growing it may even end up in my top 10 for 2004. |

Stop whining motherbitches and try downloading and listening to an album BEFORE actually purchasing it, so that the frustration caused by having, in your humble opinion, wasted money will be substantially less. Having said that, I bought the album today....and it's good enough. |

who cares about ultravisitor, his breezeblock set is as near to a perfect piece of music as anything i've heard. |

that one will be on my playlist as i get home! i have it downloaded, but haven't listened to it yet. |

I went to the Toronto gig last night |
||||||||
|
|

|

so? how was it? |
||||||||
|

Ultravisitor. I like it. Especially the "wanky", not so obvious bits. It's sprawling but coherant. |
||||||||
|

did you get pics |

I couldn't listen for more than two seconds. Not only does it suck, but the last thing I want is the stupid cunt saying things to me and then his troop of mongoloids jeering at me. thanks for starting this thread. |

These threads are weird. Some Ultravisitor threads are completely positive, and others, like this one, are very negative. I just dont see how a fan of electronica doesn't like this release, i think its brilliant. |
||||||||

It's because things like this get emotional, debates get ridiculous, and knowing that people avoid them. So people saying nice things clump together, people saying bad things clump together. I said nothing intelligent or analytical in my post--just a blithe criticism. That's just how it goes. |

Right you are sneakattack, and I respect your opinion. What squarepusher albums do you like, if any? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who is the stupid cunt and the troop of mongloids you refer to in your post, may i ask? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"stupid cunt" probably refers to Thomas Jenkinson "troop of jeering mongoloids" is probably the crowd noise throughout the album. Thats some funny shit i must admit. |
||||||||

Thanks for clearing that up. |

i also went to the toronto show last night.... it was really good seemed to be about 80-90% unreleased stuff, most of it was like the hardest of his material... there were no soft songs at all his bass playing is amazing.......and it was cool to see him make that harmonic progression at the beginning of Menelec (not that that is particularly impressive to play) with his bass guitar, too bad he didn't actually play that track :( he did play Steinbolt, and he opened the show with the first piece in his march 16th Breezeblock performance and he played along the bassline to lots of tracks, and some really REALLY fucking cool offbeat bass solos that were more about rhythm than the bass solos on Ultravisitor he makes his weird hand gestures along to the beats, like twisting his hand through the air to mimic the path of the rhythm... which was cool since i bet a lot of ppl listening to his music do the same sort of thing for his encore he played Come On My Selector |

i dont understand how a squarepusher fan can dismiss ultravisitor |

Oh shit, I forrgot about this album. It's at the bottom of the pile. I'll have to put it on again... tomorrrrow. |
||||||||

Don't. It was that rubbish to begin with. Don't force yourself to like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
the breezeblock set was EXACTLY the same as wot he played in london for the rfh sinfonietta show. so not very live really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sussed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah steinbolt is like 3 diff. songs with million of other songs in between. There are 10 seconds of good stuff, then 3 minutes of pure bull..... thing, and then it becomes OK after the middle that has nothing to do with beginning. |
