based on sp's whole repetoire (almost) and fb's 'kirlian
selections', 'red extentions of me' & 'girls suck but you
don't'

I haven't heard a lot of Flashbulbs music, but what I heard
always reminded me of other Eye Dee Emm artists.

so I would say squarepusher is the better one.

it's sad only topics like 'tri dentitae' get responses!

what the hell is wrong with xltronic.....

Flashbulb is a million times better than sqp btw It's only
because of the big W. why sqp is famous like this.

heh yeah, i thought i'd make this 'normal' music-discussion
thread about squarepusher and a 'nonsense' one about
tridenti,
and it shows which threads are more popular :)

havent heard the flashbulb yet. but if you are serious about
them/him/her being better than our jenkinson, i'd sure like
to check them out.

ive yet to hear a track by flashbulb that is anywhere as
good as tundra, if there is, i wanna know of it
so for now mr jenkinson is the man

haha. i like flashbulb, many of his ideas are borrowed
squarepusher. but better than squarepusher? c'mon that's
just insane. tom is the true master

crazone / tftp; the man plays the piano and guitar very
well, i just got hold of Kirlian Selections, it's really
good,
somewhere i read about it; "...blending his most abrasive
extremes with subtle and genius melody compositions and a
giant list of live instrument performances."

his albums are really worthwhile to check out, at least he
delivers quality on the whole album. imo squarepusher's
albums all got some great tracks and a lot of filler

anyways, i'd recommend 'red extensions of me' and 'kirlian
selections'

Whatever The Flashbulb has accomplished, he is still working
upon the unprecedented foundation laid by Squarepusher.
Drill n bass is Squarepusher's genre.

omg
it's not because you cna play a bunch of instruments live
that you are a true artist, besides i don't think it's a
good idea, he should maybe totally master one or two of
them

as someone said, find me a track that can rival things like
: tundra, come on my selector, port rombhus, tetra sync, do
you know squarepusher, etc etc

they are massive classics, the flashbulb still need ONE
track like that to begin to really impress me

no hard feeling, i like his music and think he's got talent,
but he's nowhere near squarepusher in terms of musicality
and creativity imo

It's hilarious to think that The Flashbulb even touches the
Pusher in my opinion. Tom's compositional and
beat-programming talents are just ... lightyears ahead. He's
got the goods.

Flashbulb is okay, but nothing special. Sounds like dated
Squarepusher without the good melodies, mostly. He's got a
few nice tunes, though.

Didn't he post on WATMM a lot? He was quite a character.

I like his music OK, can't touch Squarepusher. I usually
know a SP track is an SP track as soon as I hear it, not so
with FB. But it's pretty good, not different but pretty well
done. I remember way back in 2001 when Drukqs leaked, I had
a couple of what-turned-out-tb-be Flashbulb tracks mixed in
with the real ones, and they were pretty cool.

he used to post over at the mu-board.

and people would say things like "what Flashbulb does is
derivative" and he would just log in to completely fly off
the handle and pretty much embarrass himself.

I never heard any Flashbulb. Judging from the discussion
here, it sounds like I shouldn't bother getting any.

eachother.

were throwing it put on the flyer: "Flashbulb: The World's
Greatest Squarepusher Cover Band!"
