speakin gibberish twisted my tongue upside down with the veined side up..so... I just love this song..anytime I put on Hard Normal Daddy I cant progress past track2 until I have played it atleast three or four times..these melodies are just so beautiful..bringing a lump to my throat every time..I mean people keep saying how "happy" SP's music is..I dont know I keep finding layers of bittersweet sadness in tracks like this and so many of the tracks on Feed me weird thing... am I just weird? |
||||||||

I think there is sadness in his music, look at massif, ufo over ley or goodnight jade. The melody to this certainly has a sad tinge to it. I think it's because of the fast drums that people naturally assume his stuff is upbeat, even when it's a bit melancholy. Thanks for pointing this track out, I'd DLed it but only played it once and not noticed how good it is. Which album(s) are massif and UFO over Ley off? |

UFO over Ley is Feed me..I am sure.. massif is big loada..but I may be wrong.. |
||||||||

i agree 100% ive been listening to this track non stop for the past few months... and youre right...there really is a sort of melancholy undercurrent in a lot of his tracks...especially this one..i love when tracks have that distinct but undefined emotional quality...a lot of aphex's stuff does too its too bad he put it so early into the tracklisting of hard normal daddy though...the rest of the album just cant live up to this track i think beep street and my sound are tied as my favorite tracks...by anyone, let alone squarepusher |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeaaa..not senile yet..I imparted correct info about tracks... I mean I like Hard Normal a lot..some really excellent songs on there..Papalon is once again very soulful and melodic... but yeah it's pretty hard goin past the Beep Street and get to the rest:) what about lambic5poetry?..that's the other one that stops me in my tracks.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't listened to thaT TRACk in such a long time.. but it;s so awesome! i love it |
||||||||
|
|

i think aphex's equivalent track to beep street would be flim...and girl boy song now that i think of it upbeat sounding...with a bright, cheerful melody and fast beats... but on flim theres those little secondary melodies ..like the little violin one that comes in after a few minutes.. and girl boy has that upbeat, dramatic, bittersweet end of movie feel to it, similar to beep street, ive always thought then of course theres tracks like avril 14th, petiatil cx htdui, melphase6, mookid, alberto balsam, rhubarb...etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...iambic 5 poetry is definitely one of those tracks... papalon, rat/ p's and q's and rebus are probably the best tracks that come after beep street...but they still dont come as close.. ive been listening to his chaos ad song 'friend track' a lot lately and i would say it has a similar mood...but its *never* mentioned |
||||||||

Not wishing to blow my (our) own trumpet, but the ending of your remix of gaussian and my mix of UTFM are both growing on me and sound quite []pusherish... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, SP's music is among some of the most emotional music i've got. I myself was going to say Goodnight Jade, its a very sad song. I do like beep street a lot, I find theme from ernest borgnine pretty emotional too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For a long time I totally lost interest in Squarepusher. Then someone sent me 'Beep Street' and it got me back into them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By them I mean him.. my bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..and although no one seems to care for selection16 so much...id say tommorow world is right up there oh..and you cant forget port rhombus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think I try and fail to do []<'ish stuff all of the time...:) but I have a lot of fun failing at it:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and Ceri sorry I was offline on soulseek..I just left the computer running..d/lding Chris de Luca...I got all your messages this moring..can you email me the flp's of your new tracks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that selection 16 is excellent. The good tracks are amazing and so made it well worth it IMo. Tommorrow world is one of his best. definitely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Basically, I think most of SP's work is highly emotional |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhh yeah, Beep Street is awesome... it was one of the first Squarepusher tracks I downloaded, and it definitely helped get me hooked on the drug called Jenkinson... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know what you mean by drug, I just want more and more of his quality tracks. When you finally get into them for the first time, there's a great feeling |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, but probably the best (The Dunes) was done almost entirely with simsynth and it loses its settings so it sounds crap. Thankfully, I burnt it to MP3 (which you can get from my "alternate house" directory), the others I'm emailing now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah me too...its like what i said in that 'sp vs µ-ziq' thread...even though µ-ziq's stuff is quite similar...and at times mind-blowingly beautiful...sp still affects me more emotionally..than most artists..not just µ-ziq... in that sense, a lot of his stuff has been more important to me than a good deal of aphex's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Selection 16..it's brilliant moody and very atmospheric..I picture it as a soundtrack for an angst ridden Japanese soap opera about half organic mecha destroying cities and then feeling all melancholic..about it.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I had to get rid other either afx or SP, it'd be aphex. I'm not saying aphex's music lacks emotion, it can just sound a bit too clinical at times for my liking, even more so with Ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I cant access your files on slseek for some reason Ceri..I tried when you were logged on as well..comes up with an error.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh...never thought about it that way.. but i do like selection16 also...its definitely the best of the 'trilogy' he released that year...it just seems like its less appreciated than his other albums |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beep street, cooper's world, port rhombus, and smedley's melody: the four songs i heard one day in 1997 that made me a squarepusher fan for life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh dear, :( I'm upgrading soulseek at the moment, hope that sorts it out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know..Aphex has tons of emotional stuff..far less clinical than ae..just his melodies has a slightly different ring to em..melodies from mars is quite an apt description of his sligthly alien and tweaked melodic work..Arched Maid Via RDJ..for one..it just sticks in my head..it's not sad it's not happy and yet very very moving... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Squarepusher at his best is definitely pretty much flawless... very impressive music, I noticed people who don't know him always shut up and listen when I Wish You Could Talk or something mindblowing like that is playing... that fucker DEMANDS attention, he's so good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's cos half of its shit. people just don't appreciate the amazing tracks =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that post was to one on the other page, damn I hate missing the drop down thing.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

That used to be my favorite track off Hard Normal Daddy, I thought it was amazing, but recently I have been entranced by Rustic Raver. Oh my god Rustic Raver blows my fucking mind. Its just awesome and then gets jazzy for a second and then turns into this fucking evil wicked drum n bass.. drool.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the end melody in Rustic Raver is so sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beep street is very emotional ... almost a kind of quiet desperation being expressed tho recently i've been very much appreciating esp. track 4 off analogue bubblebath IV .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't forget REBUS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh, i've never heard that, must get, any others!?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im all about Vic Acid.....so hardcore that and coopers world got me hooked on him although i bought maximum priest for my first SP purchase and hated it with a passion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought Selection 16 sucked my balls first time I heard it. |
