when i first heard this song i almost shit! i think it's
Tom's nod to death metal, which i like also. some of the
drum patterns in this song are unmistakably death metal, not
the ones at the beginning, wich are in Tom's own style, but
at about 1:30 they switch and start pounding in the death
metal style. plus the guitar-like sounds. anyone else notice
it?

I think the track is pure crap. it could've been a GREAT
track if the track wasn't so poorly mixed. the synths just
push the beats away. I know he did it on purpose to get that
live sort of feel...but seriously....it sucks. and some of
the blips and bleeps on ultravisitor just hurt my ears. I
wish he would come with a proper "studio" version. but all
the rest rules on ultravistor. I like the album ALLOT. but
the whole live concept thing is the only negative thing I
have to say about it.

It is awesome. Its like venetian snares but harder and more
unique.

Man, that's what I think makes it so original. I reckon
clean production would have taken something away. The
'imperfections' are the essence IMO

i didn't like it or 'an arched pathway' until i heard/saw it
live with the strobes. what a difference it makes to have
the lights blinding you at the same rate as the music.

I love the begining, i love the end.. i love the fuck up's
in the middle too but it's just that they go on for too
long, he has an nice melody there towards the end and i
think he could have used it more, perhaps built it up more
carefully and slowly creating that classic squarepusher
melody feel that he has in the track Ultravisitor and
others..

One of my favorite tracks of last year. Its a piece of music
that really feels like its pusher the boundries of the
genre, mutant martian death metal.

I love that BIG ambient drone that envelops the chaos toward
the end of the track.

this is a good track, sp bashing away his new sound, but
soon to be his old sound, when he releases a new lp
