good not good blabla go fucking release the cd youbastards! i understand the mp3 release to minimize the pirate effect of people massively downloading and they not making cash, but thats not very nice for those people who buy original albums and dont use mp3s... 1month and a half of delay... thats fuking insulting |
||||||||

I chose FLAC over either CD or MP3. The actual discs I buy just end up rotting on the shelves. MP3s, on the other hand, are often bad quality. But a delay like that is pretty annoying, I can see that! |

star time 2, glass road, the coathanger, planet gear.. i can't see why people dislike this album so much. |

To me, the best track on there is "Potential Govaner", but it's only a 2 minute track... I was hoping the whole album would have that kind of sound. I like a few other tracks, but as whole, I'm not really into it. I still don't get "A Real Woman"... "Star Time 2" is pretty good, but sounds a lot like "Hello Meow". "Coathanger" is ok, although the vocoder ruins the track a bit for me. I'm putting the album aside for a couple of weeks. Maybe after a pause, it'll click when I put it on again. |

"I still don't get "A Real Woman"" it's pure fun |

coathanger, star time 2 = great stuff 3,6,11,13,14 = the bass/ambience tracks are great that's enough to keep me going for now will save the others till l8r, get to know the familiar friends first |

i finally tried to listen to this the other day. what a fucking toss. seriously, is tom even trying anymore or does he just throw together a few tracks he made while pissed and call it an album? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i'll see him in Paris on november. I bet those tracks are much better played live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's a live act first and foremost.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah listen to the bangface set if you haven't already, they go down really well and don't forget he made it in a short time, like 6 months or something, now if you don't like it fine, but take that into consideration i like it even tho it's not his best output imo |

I hope Jenkinson goes further in this direction on future albums. The whole IDM thing is not to dissimilar to the industrial scene - dead. It is now set on "repeat" - and Autechre is a shining example of that. Electronic music needs to integrate itself into the organic to create fresh angles, which it has been already for quite some time, but Just A Souvenir pushes the boundaries further. The bass for example is heavily chopped and spliced by computer to put a new context on the instrument, which few people seem to have noticed - they're too hung up on whether it's "electronic enough" and all that close-minded guff. |

wrong. sick of the bass, it feels like a gimmick now and the sound bores me. it also has a vibe that just stinks of twats and tossers. also it's makes little/no impression on me. i'm not that into him anyway. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Interesting. Personally I feel that the fact you don't like makes for a great recommendation to buy it. |
||||||||

are you 16 or do you not even have that as an excuse |

This thread holds some pretty idiotic and senseless posts. RazorbladeUK and headfucker (add weird and quirky spelling) come to mind. Razor has an excuse though, tom was mean and didn't really notice him. Aww. If you don't like it, fine! No need to be an arse about it though! I'm sure it's possible to hate this album without being all arsy about it. |

good points in post [#02243524] i walk/tram/bus around town now and then, listening to the album and thinking quite the same big up Tom J |

You just don't get me barcode. I was very reasonable really, you are just too quick to misunderstand me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so people really feel like this isn't shite...? i've never been that into tom, there's something missing in his stuff and what i've heard of this just seems to some it up. also barcode wrote the below which serves to confirm my apprehensions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with [#02243518] |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i don't think the future of the beloved music we all hate to call idm should be this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i believe in freedom, and this album has bass |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
bass? i like bass. bass for mod! |

i wasn't trying to be arsy. i've just been putting off listening to this album because i didn't expect much. and it was way worse. seriously, these tracks sound like awful lounge music for boring robots. i mean, what is with that track with the vocoder going "you are a member of societyyyyyyyyy" etc? gah! how do people think this kind of crap is the direction "idm" needs to be going? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats this direction becoming obsession |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i am compelled to agree |

|
|

Not trying to be arsy yet you still manage to call me a boring robot! Which is fine btw. |
||||||||
|
|

fine? is it really? PUNCH'IM! |

you just dont get it |

I guess some people don't like change. They like the nostalgia of listening to the same old thing over and over, whereas others get bored. Squarepusher gets bored too, hence the new album. Whereas bands like Autechre are so wrapped up in their status they won't take a risk. They're scared stiff. They might as well give up, as they have nothing left to offer anymore, whereas at least Squarepusher has vitality - at least he's still interested. |

imo. |

Didn't you do a nice interview with Autechre? |

I don't understand why people are bad-mouthing this album. It's Squarepusher, which, though this leaves me open to criticism, means that it's going to be very good in some way. Also, at least Jenkinson releases stuff! We haven't heard from Mr. James for a good 7 years now (discounting 'the Tuss'), so I think we should all be grateful for this SP offering. In addition, I know this is an electronic music site, but I would associate generally interesting and somewhat avant-garde music with that, therefore I think people are overreacting and being silly about this- whether you like it or not, Squarepusher is still producing interesting music an he is an ecellent artist. I think these points should be acknowledged and they are not. |
||||||||

discounting tuss, all analords, 26 mixes, some rereleases (well, you mentioned "stuff", NOT "new stuff"). i don't go for this "you should be grateful" argument. i don't like his new album. end of story. likewise campfire headphase. even though it has been cazillion years since they released their previous. it's still crap. i'm looking more forward to new releases by mr.67ix and whatnot. |

You're right- I said stuff, not new stuff, but I would have thought it would be fairly obvious I what I meant. That's just being a little pedantic. I understand what you mean- I have a pretty unusual outlook on music I guess. I value uniqueness and originality, as well as the ability to move on and work in different genres more than other things, such as consistency and exploration of one genre and looking out for the fans who buy records, meaning artists can make a living doing what they do. I think others see things in a more logical way than I do. However, this said, I ask you to put yourself in Mr. Jenkinson's shoes. Once you have been making electronic music, pushing the boundaries of so many different sub-genres with Electronica (Acid, Jungle, Dub, D&B, Jazz e.t.c) for so many years shouldn't you be allowed to experiment? Not think about fans for a while and let your hair down- do what you damn like, aince, after all you are an intellectual and an artist- it is in your very nature to create and do something drastically new every time you do so. In the end, Thom Jenkinson is an artist- not a music factory- not Simon Cowell, trying to please as many people as possible, right across the board. I know you will still say that it is "shit", but still- I ask you in return to just have something of an open mind about this and give it a few more listens. I will in turn check out mr.67ix. When I go over all that i have written here I don't know why I have bothered- you haven't even expressed a justified opinion- "it's crap" doesn't mean anything- I completely agree with Barcode- no one likes it because they are too closed minded. By the way, thanks for taking the time to read my massive rant. =) |
