it reminds me of the melodic drill type stuff me and impakt used to make in 04/05, melodic and nice. i like it, better than ultravisitor, i give it a FHz out of Aogaoe. |

could have been great if he did something different with drum programming. he creates nice melodies and integrates bass nicely but then just drops those drums on top and just ruins it all..instead of making it perfect it turns out half arsed. some tracks are pretty great and some are completly dull. doesn't sound like a coherent album. |

plotinus is the only track you need worry about surviving through |

so nothing new in this one? |

vacuum garden sucks. |

i think the release has what i've come to appreciate about the analords (which i didn't care for at first). it moves away from IDM programming novelty and concentrates on good song writing. i don't think it's an amazing release, but i like squarepusher, and this sounds like squarepusher, so i like hello everything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like body riddle better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed... the main problem with vacuum garden is that it doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the cast. hello everything? hello vacuum garden? nah. otherwise a decent release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well said |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it's great! I don't care for some of the tracks like vaccum, orient orange and kronecker but the rest of the stuff is the best i've heard recently from any artist. |

my ctrl key doesnt do ctrl+c copy :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually like orient orange. it's like a squarepusher score for apocalypse now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i dont care much for the first 3 tracks, perhaps in time.. and that song after cirlce wave 2 and vacuum garden i dont care much for, but listening to orient orange all the way through is good stuff. this sounds really crap and shouldnt make the song sound better, but only thing i can think of is some stupid tribe banging away on drums and whatnot, and then king kong comes out of the bushs every now and then and thats when the melody stuff comes in and out : ) |

my favorite part of this album are the "breakbeats". what a brilliant idea to sample a drum beat from an old record, speed it up and loop it! then when you add that virtuoso bass playing, it is almost like jaco pastorius fell into a crate of old james brown records! this is breakthrough music from this year's hottest talent. i look forward to seeing where this artist's career heads in the future - he is sure to be at the cutting edge of electronic music forever. ****1/2 / 5 -- r40f for ziltyzine, april, 1995. |

it's eq'd shitty at parts. the drums are substandard. i hope the copy i have is fake or just super-super-low quality. |

yeah well i don't totally hate that track, my guess is that he was doing something like mood bells, maybe not. i just wouldn't mind at all if that piecfe of music never existed :) |

frankly i was disappointed |

I was listening properly today. It's ten years too late. You don't make 100 increasingly bad albums just to realise what you should have done was refine what you did in the first place, rather than fancy yourself as JAZZ IDM, find the only market for that was a bunch of cunts you'd no more have as fans as herpes, and then apologetically slip back with this. Pathetic for a man of his age and experience. Awful and insulting. |

:D (it makes you wonder - what happened? where did that "future" go? ae has managed to develop things a bit - except from their loop-point-wankery) |

10 years ago Roni Sized said "I like Drum n Bass, however I'm going to fuck it up bringing Jazz into it, cause it's a bit like jazz alrteady, what with the dodgy drums and that, right Alvin?" and young Squarepusher said, "You know, ten years from now I REALLY will make it Jazz IDM, like 4 earnest middle aged men belting it out in a pub". And lo, some impressionable young lad in Detroit thinks it's the dog's bollocks. |

Squarepusher - Welcome to Europe (Extended version) rocks my socks off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree pretty much with tolstoyed, the beats are simple and lifeless, and its not coherent. A few really boring tunes, and even the really nice ones are a little dissapointing, plotinus sounds like it needs remastering to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
new squarepusher out there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all but 3 tunes i think are good, but not mind-blowing. nice melodies as others have said, but the drums, why so damned quiet? the same at his live shows, always so quiet. i'd rather have it all a bit more brutal and twisted, but overall, it's nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheesy melodies and ordinary beats.. he has done much better in the past.. i prefer body riddle a lot |
||||||||
|

Nno drill stuff except "The modern bass guitar" (which is excellent IMO). Very nice songs instead. I love "Welcome to europe", you may listen to it on bleep. Plotinus, Hello Meow, Planetarium are also nice. it's not a groundbreaking but a very good album. And it's not as easy to write such songs as lots of people seem to think, try to write melodies as catchy and nice as those on "hello everything" are and you'll see. |
||||||||

i'm seriously addicted to 'planetarium' now. it's all tangled up in my brain pudding now and the only way to scratch it is to listen over and over again. it's the best ear worm i've had in a long while. |

'welcome to europe' and 'hello meow' does it for me. definately up there with hard normal daddy and go plastic. |

Ultravisitor is the brand new album from Jenkinson Snr, his 5th full length emission and possibly his best to date - even with the scary 80 min running length. I must admit to not feeling the last album that much, a tad too experimental and missing that undefined 'X' factor that Squarepusher releases posess so vividly from time to time. This album changes all that. From its initial tumble into splattered breaks and intricate arrangements on the opening title track, you find yourself surrounded by mind blowing opposing melodies, hard assed drums, malfunctioning programming and sonics with a layered, MBV-like intensity. The explosive sonics at the its end drop off into the first piece featuring the Jaco Pastorius' inspired solo-bass compositions - 'I Fulcrum' illustrates just how well the man does deep, soul, funk. 'Iambic 9 Poetry' follows the best track from 'Budakhan Mindphone', absolutely gorgeous melodiously tuned bass drops into blissful keyboards and live drumming, an original creation that fans of Four-Tet will adore. 'Andrei' is a classically structured acoustic guitar and bass duet which takes us to '50 Cycles', a completely manic downtempo experimental hip hop throwdown complete with the cheeky processed narrative Jenkinson uses every now and again. 'Menelee' brings the bell chimes, the amen breaks and the acid!!!! - 'Steinbolt' brings off punk, the funk and the menace - amazing sh*t. That's only half the album. Extra mention to the last two tracks - the soothing sounds for baby fed 'Tommib Help Buss' and the bass solo 'Every Day I Love'. Parts of this album appear to be made out of live recordings though Warp claim not!!! the sequencing is a bit bizarre to say the least but if the Squarepusher you love is 'Hard Normal Daddy Feed Me Weird Things My Sound Iambic 5 Poetry' then you'll adore this album, as do I. |

A refreshing step back from earlier excesses, Hello Everything delivers everything Pusher promised as far back as ten years ago. The culmination of a career "pushing" the barriors of dance, jazz, electro, drum'n'bass, ambient, you name it, this time he brings all those elements together into one cohernet stew. There's something for everyone, from the casually interested music lover to the hardcore fan. Highlights? They're all highlights on this multi faceted jewel of an album. Hello Everything, sure, be prepared to party hard as well as chill out. Welcome to the party. |

It's a terrific track. Reminds me of Hard Normal Daddy but with some of those twisty Plaid type melodies. |

Whatever happened to quality control? Despite popular opinion, I'm adamant that this release is fake; bar "welcome to europe" (good track) and "modern bass guitar" (average track). My main reason for thinking this is that I believe the other tracks to be wholly shite. To me, most of the tracks sound very "software", which isn't something that I usually expect from this hardware genius. I listen to many of the tracks disgusted at what I'm hearing. At first I thought "hm, yeah, this is nice" but then I snapped out of it and went "wait.. this is squarepusher. I could download better music from an unsigned artist for free" - If when the album is released and the tracks are the same, then I am likely to lose all faith in a hero that I regard on a par with old richie. I hope to fucking god that this release is fake, because, in all honesty, I hate it. |

why would an unreleased artist be so much worse? anyway, if you think this release is fake, ahahahahahhah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listen to 'welcome to europe' then listen to all the other tracks. keep on switching between 'welcome to europe' and other tracks. i did this for about half and hour, and you seriously begin to hear a huge difference. if this release is actually fake then I will be so happy. if it isn't I may look like a bit of an idiot, but, at the same time, tom reallllllllly could have done A LOT better than this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

there is such a distinct fucking thread between all the tracks that i cannot fathom why you think this is a fake. also, why would warp bother PRESSING UP fakes? you know how much it costs? you do realize that people have had promos for quite a while, right? anyway, the whole "fake" thing is extremely silly and all of this stuff is very easily identifiable as jenkinson work. i actually happen to really enjoy it. people seem very split about it though, and that's what i expected after hearing it for the first time, before it leaked. anyway, it's real. get over it. it's obvious if you've listened to pusher's back catalogue at least once. |

ooooooooooooh! hit a nerve have i!? i'm mainly in denial tbh. i don't want it to be real because i'm so disappointed. i can accept that it's real, but i really don't want to. it literally tears me up inside. you have no idea how much i was anticipating this album. my expectations were shattered :'( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooooooooooooh! no, not really. i just think it's funny to see people scream "fake" just because something didn't live up to their expectations AND when they have no idea. TEE-HEE! |

well i'm happy for you that you enjoyed it. *hangs head and walks off sulking like a little bitch* |
