Does ruff mean good or bad? Or something possessing abrasive
qualities? Or simply ruff?

it could be a projecting or conspiciously coloured ring of
feathers or hair around a bird's or animal's neck.

I know, it's terrible isn't it, you think at first, oh this
is quite good, and then it goes on 4 times too long banging
you over the head and you end up in tears. Dreadful.

i think he did a few great tracks lately... though i'm not
huge about the album, tetra sync is up my street. as is the
new 12" (venus 17 and tundra 4 are my fave squarepusher
tracks ever i think).

i think ultravisitor is one of the best braindance albums,
or, at least, the best by squarepusher...

I like it... I was listening to it really drunk one night
and it really came into place. Certainly more of a single
album than a collection of songs IMO.

i feel it as an only one song, i love how he create the
mood/ambient to make you flow through the differents
songs... lovely!

what about track 4, i hate it at the first listening, but,
wtf, its fucking incredible how he can make it grow and then
reduce it to a simple bit/sound and then fill all the space
again and then suddenly dnb and thats actually a shit
explanation and then calm and carry on...

I've listened to it a couple of times. I might have listened
to it more but it pisses me off that I can't burn the whole
thing to a single CD.

This reminds me, I need to put Do You Know Squarepusher on
eBay.

I think Tom described this as his 'symphony of comedy and
horrors' or something to that effect... describes it
perfectly really.

Ah I love it. Tetra-Sync, *drool*... And Iambic 9, oh yes!
The bass solos aren't so good in parts, but the rest of it
makes up for that. Overall, fantastic album

the whole psuedo live deal? was it ever confirmed?

everything i heard pointed to it, but i don't know if tom
confirmed it, or if someone had overwhelming evidence.

i agree about preferring a clean studio sound.

Were parts of Ultravisitor recorded on tour?
Yes, in fact most of the tracks are recorded from shows
either in the UK or in the US/Canada. The point of using
live versions of the tracks is that they show stupid people
that, though their own stubbornness prevents them from being
able to engage with my music, they hear other people
cheering in the background, and realise that although this
music is obscure, it cannot be totally inaccessible because
other people like it. Because it is obscure, but not totally
inaccessible, this makes it cool. This makes stupid people
buy it. One day their children will dust it off and play it,
and realise that I am the supreme musical genius of my
generation. This means I'll still be able to play gigs when
I'm an old fart with no ideas. Hopefully.

Interview from i-D Magazine, March 2004

If by added effects, you mean taped a live recording and put
it on a record.

you know, that's odd, because i saw him live and hardly any
of the tracks sounded the same as on the cd, which was
disappointing.

when i saw him he opened up with tundra4, then did venus no
17. tundra4 was 100 times better than the proper release
that just came out and venus no 17 sounded the same as the
cd version. the ultravisitor stuff sounded a bit more live
than the cd version.
