I'm not normally into d 'n' b (or Planet-Mu stuff), but Exile is really something. It's just brilliantly produced, vibrant and funny music. Lots of big drops, weird sounds, nice melodies, lovely programming and throbbing bass lines.
Check him out.

It's not really drum&bass though, kind of different :)

Where you the one who did that thread on him a while ago linking to his page on Planet-Mu? If so, thanks a lot! :-)

Maybe, don't remember.
Skink : that's a pretty off comparison to be honest :)

is anyone who uses mashed up breaks a pusher wannabe? sad truth is whether they are or not there is not much new ground to cover in that territory..... exile was great at the first mu rave up at elektrowerkz though , better than uziq i reckon.

I'll admit he is similar to Squarepusher, but it's still really enjoyable stuff, and a lot better then most other breaks/mashup-ish albums I've heard.

I'd just like to state once again that comparing Exile to squarepusher is simply moronic. They are not close to eachother what so ever.

Listening to it again, I'd say "moronic" is a little strong, but the sound of, say, Go Plastic, is completely different to this album. You're right.
The more I listen to this the better it becomes. The production really is stunning, and the basslines are so fucking nice. When it drops into more "regular" and repetitive d 'n' b you just wish you were at Electrowerkz or something.

I stick by "moronic" claim, their styles are miles apart. Exile makes drum&bass with some added "complexity". Some of the tracks on the album is a little more "idm" though, but the essential Exile "sound" is still drum&bass with all it's reeses, hoovers and tramens.
Squarepusher doesn't make anything that sounds like drum&bass at all, sometimes jungle, but not drum&bass.
And even if you look away from the sounds they use, their grooves, arrangements and styles are not even close.

ps. I'm not saying that you're a moron, but claiming that his style is close to squarepusher is just wrong.

Fair enough, I can see where you are comming from. :-)
I'll definately be looking out for Exile's next live event. I've heard he improvises a fair bit, and really gets the crowd going.

That was a followup to taxidermist's tarnce link, not a comment on Exile, who I like a lot.
