I was introduced to his music around 2-3 years ago. I think he makes wonderful tunes. He had the best breezeblock set i have ever heard.
He is very creative and has a wealth of talent. I fuck around about him because he violently attacked pomme.

NO GYPSUM, NO! Squarepusher has released the same fucking record over and over again since "Feed me weird things". I like Feed me weird things but I don't want 10 different versions of it. Is []> going to keep releasing jazzy drill'n'bass for the next 10 years? FUCKSTICKS.

Hmm I've noticed teh aphex worshipping but I got the impression there wasnt much anti-pusher feeling. I think I prefer him over RDJ to be honest.

well it isnt very ground breaking or anything , and i can see why people might not be into his stuff, but for me its great, sometimes it hard, sometimes its soft, the only time i skip tracks was the dyksp ambient stuff and the jazz interludes on ultrav, other than that i really like it - its ear candy to me.

Hmm I don't know, I think it is pretty groundbreaking at times. I think Ultravisitor as an album is unlike anything out there

squarepusher is one of those artists i really like, i allways have high expectations on Tom and i have never gotten dissapointed at all.
I dont see how some thinks hes releasing the same album over and over again, he has his own style and sound but the albums are quite different, at least in my ears.
But yeah, i like jazz, i like drill and bass and i like that amazing sound only Tom has on certain songs.
Like ultravisitor, tundra and tundra 4, theme from ernest borgine, i wish you could talk and so on and on and on, i think it's special and i think it sounds good.
could be that it's my personal taste or something.

i think its unique, as in sp is a stylist, but i think it only serves to further itself, meaning his music changes while staying the same, such as the sounds and tempo, but the overall structure is the same.

I think he's one of the few people who can completely accomplish what he sets out to do musically. A master at his craft definately. Doesn't mean I always like what he does though.

I like some of his tracks. Stuff like Port Rhombus, Squarewindow EP, Ultravisitor (title track) and the quiet jazzy pieces, hard normal daddy... but he makes a lot of wank too.

yeah, i've heard that one..it's no surprise he tours alone so often :)
i've read a few interviews with afx and vibert in tha past few days, they both seem to think pusher acts a bit weird sometimes..

sp is incredibly talented, he truly is a major electronic musician, there are gems here and there all over his records.
