it's good but it could be way better if he combined the best songs from ultravisitor and this one. maybe do one proper album and one with all the filler tracks. i like the songs where the drums match melodies and i don't like those drill'n'bass ones. those are just plain dull and unimaginative. |

squarepusher for beginners - his worst album ever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good album. rotate electrolyte is my current fave, but i could have done without the longwinded chords at the end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I like this album. It's a nice mix of old drill n bass and his jazzy tracks, imo. It's also the only Warp release this year that match my expectations. Only tracks I don't like is Vacuum Garden and Orient Orange. Overall: not his best work, but I like it better than recent stuff like DYKS and Go Plastic. |
||||||||
|
|

|
haven't listened to it all but the first tracks sounded very promising. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im dissapointed cause theres no sqp poetry like on 50 cycles or f-train, really like that side of him.. otherwise a solid album, need to get more familiar with it i suppose |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A couple of nice tracks perhaps yes, but honestly I didn't like this album that much. He did make far better albums in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love it. so he spent more time writing melody than rhythm.. or perhaps just re-jigged his priorities and goals for this album.. what does it matter? it's still packed full of stunning music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a nice change I like it, some filler tracks but not too bad of a record. 7/10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good album but I don't understand one thing with this album and ultravisitor sqpr seems to look behind to records like hard normal daddy while go plastic and dyks look very different and ahead of the time of their release. Is he nostalgic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see it as a combination of dyks and hard normal daddy. better than both though which is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think it had the same fun kick that Go Plastic or Hard Normal Daddy had. I want more like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yah its gud innit. hate vacuum garden though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Vacuum Garden and Hello Meow and the rest can fuck right off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think this album is more accesible for people who never heard anything from sqp but it doesnt bring anything new to me. I like tracks planetarium and vacuum garden but the rest is not so interesting as i expected. go go go plastic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm. it is very pleasant and such. doesn't capture my imagination like his other releases. the happy accesible tracks outweigh the strange noisy ones for a change. TJ Pusher sure knows how to sustain a good melody (see: welcome to europe), making the album mildly worthwhile. i've only listened to it about six times so i'll be back in a year or so to revise this worthless statement. |

this record make that aphex twin grow more and more* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plotinus is like rotate is good too, especially at night in the city planitarium is ok but i feel these 3 tracks kinda follow the same order hello meow was kinda cheesy at first, now it's just plain fun as hell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally agree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's great. amazing compositions. clever stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds a little too calm for me. like it lacks of things happening. not busy enough compared to hnd or go plastic! some beautiful melodies but i'm not fond of those chord sequences. lots of similarities with many ultravisitor tracks. 1 track per record would've been enough for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
welcome to europe is great no matter how simple it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its good. not his best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love it :D one of the best albums of the year for sure :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You say that about every IDM superstar album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think it's as simple as people are saying, it's just that he's focused his attention on sophisticated harmonic and melodic developements, rather then his clever drum programming. It's nice to hear an electronic reocord in this day and age with some good melodies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp album mind you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you over-rate his 'harmonic and melodic developments'. the melodies are very good and have that squarepusher aura about them but its not like they're super complex or anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who the fuck cares? The music is fun to listen to. I love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think ultravisitor was better thouuggh_ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you keeping an eye on archrival? :O so is it something wrong with liking Clarks and Squarepushers latest albums? ultravisitor was decent (Tetra was amazing tho!)...I like this a lot. dont know if warp released anything else thats really nice? recommendations? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still officially love it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's decent enough |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
complexity > sounds fucking great ? i agree with CS2x, we're hearing the same things in this tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not necessarily. why would you ask that? i probably should have used the word 'overestimate' there, instead of 'overrate'. current favourite tracks: -bubble life -theme from sprite -circlewave 2 -rotate electrolyte the instrumental tracks, mostly. 'welcome to europe' is kind of like the 'theme from ernest borgnine' on this album. also, maybe i'm mad, but those really soft contracting noises at the beginning of bubble life remind me of the not so soft contracting noises on 'rebus' from hard normal daddy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it is an amazing album that brings nothing (or almost nothing) new to squarepusher sound / electronic music. but i like the way it sounds fresh and "happy" and simple and variatedin styles, compared to UV, which was also great, even better, but hard to listen in some moments. the man is having fun, music is having fun, i am having fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a grower, i'd say now it's definatley one of my favourite albums ever. bubble life, planetarium and welcome to europe are the standouts for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rotate elec. is 2006's boy/girl song :))))))))))))))))))) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's fun. I would say I listen infrequently but do still listen. |
||||||||

Something to keep his fan base happy, how many people outside of Japan is that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this release keeps growing on me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you want to listen to it. I like it, I think the melodies are beautiful, but at the moment I'm into pretty heavy stuff so I wouldn't buy the release right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I take that back.. 'The modern bass guitar' is pretty crazy :D |

Get Jenkinson on X Factor before he releases any more shit like "Hello Everything". Under the wing of Simon Cowell we can watch Pusher, helped by his team of X Factor cunts, transform into a Westlife-a-like and disappear after his first shitty single fails to tickle the knobs of the knob-less. Watch him sink into a world of depression where he comes to terms with the fact he is not an amalgamation of Jaco Pastorious, Mark King, Kenny G and Bill fucking Bailey. Listen to him repeat time and time again, "I don't have to make music for adverts.....or lifts and I'm much better than my brother so why has he been beating me lately?" He will start to take drugs again: he will release the "Alroy Road to Recovery" ep that sees him get in touch with his inner-core and make, once again, acid like no-one else makes acid; fucked-up jungle like he invented it and so on and so on. Good Day. |
