Do you know Squarepusher? I do...
(And with that cryptic comment, I shall be off into the Portuguese sunshine)....
Sound of footsteps...

sunshine is good. 100000000000000000000*10666 times better than Ultravisitor.

That means, in a whole year, I've never been able to listen to the whole album in one sitting. I wonder if I ever will, maybe if I fall over one day and paralyse myself whilst it's on...

Hopefully I'll bleed to death before the end of Steinbolt.

you're not the only one. there's some nice tracks on it, but i don't think i've ever listened to it through.
which is strange; it's pretty much exclusively only how i listen /to/ albums. i always end up changing it or skipping tracks.

Rare is the album that people listen to all the way through these days...time for one thing....I'm not saying that I don't occasionally, or even often, skip some of the middle tracks, but the whole works brilliantly as a journey imo...

It may prove to be a classic...and the quote from the man himself at the time may prove to be prescient... :-)

its the worst thing he has ever done. only 'an arched pathway', 'c-town smash' and 'menelec' worth listening to. the album as a whole really does feel like one long track, in a repetative way not a beautiful journey way.

the week after i bought ultravisitor, i returned to hmv and found a cd i liked. it had a 'buy one get one free' sticker on it, but i searched the store and the only other cd i could find with that sticker was 'hard normal daddy' by squarepusher. ultravisitor was so terrible and disappointing that i left the store without getting a free squarepusher cd, and i have never regretted it.

Ultravisitor and Tetra-Sync are modern classics...surely this is inarguable...(!) :-)
Are you saying you had the chance to get Hard Normal Daddy for free and you didn't take it and you still haven't got it...wasn't immediately apparent to me what you meant, sorry :-/

nah ive given him too many second chances...ive bought feed me weird things, do you know, music is rotted one note, ultravisitor and go plastic, ive listened to them all many times in different moods to try and get into them...but i cannot. and every time i buy a new sp record my expectations build...'people on the board like it! it cant be as bad as the last one i bought! perhaps he has a different style with every album'...and every time i am disappointed. no sir, i will be brave and resist the temptation to ever buy a sp record again, and suffer the inevitable pain that goes with it.

Why make yourself suffer? You sound like one of those women who say "I'll never fall in love again, then I can't get hurt"...Believe me, it's probably his best album, if you like electronica I don't think you can fail to like it...
Have you heard Vic Acid? Beep Street? Male Pill Part 13? If not, you're missing out...this album is much more beat-filled, almost poppy in places imo...and the jazz is present and correct...
Seriously, check it out...maybe get someone to copy it for you...? Beep Street is just fecking superb....
