The flashbulb

Listened to Kirlian Selections for the first time today.
What do you reckon to it.
Whats the deal is he just a pusher wannabee.

people think that, yes... it's all nonsense, kirlian has no
sp influences or any, i think it's pure class, great music.
Perhaps the best cd of 2005 in my opinion!

Wait for his new CD 'Reunion'!

I suppose it comes down to whether he admits that he's
ripping Squarepusher off, whether he is shameless or not.
He is talented, IMO, but after all man it's just some
fucking manipulation of electrons to induce ecstasies, no
need to get contentious over it.

Still don't understand is he ripping pusher off or is it
homage.
He is the Canadian pusher to Snares Canadian afx
impression.

As much as I loathe the phenomenon of critics terming music
"pretentious," The Flashbulb embodies pretension. However,
just like the one guy in Naked Lunch who can't help
ejaculating when anally penetrated, I hate myself for
helplessly fascinating The Flashbulb's musick. He is just
more baroque than Squarepusher is, though I truly prefer
Squarepusher's enceyalopaedic knowledge of jazz, that
furthur informs Squarepusher's oeuvre.

Sorry if I'm coming off a royal cock rabbit.

i'm glad you realize that, weirdo... I don't hear any jazz
in kirlian selections... most people seems to copy each
others opinion without even listening to it...

on the other hand, what the fuck does it matter... you like
the music, or you don't. whether he is a git or not, he
could be a pimp and i'd be alright with it, his cd's still
ROCK.

but if you have to: Squarepusher achieves this quality only
in the first song of every album. The rest is for the lot
just plain boring un-inspiring jazz stuff. Sp has the
qualities sometimes but he uses 90% filler material.

creative than an entire flashbulb album

thinks.

oh the git-remark has little to do with the supposed quality
of his music.

I'm not sure about his gittiness either, so there you go.

I think calling him a squarepusher ripoff is pretty much
bullshit. Hell, the only track on Kirlian Selections that
even sounds a little bit s/pish is Binedump, and even then
it is a stellar track in its own regard.

But for fuck's sake, go listen to his older works like These
Open Fields or Resent and the April Sunshine Shed and tell
me he sounds like a Squarepusher ripoff... they're nowhere
close.

Benn's one of the most talented artists around these days,
and he's a really down to earth guy if you ever talk to him;
I have no idea where your all's pretention bullshit is
coming from.
