anyone heard this thing yet? I'm on the final track now and
I'm finding it to be quite fantastic... reminds me of a lot
of things but without sounding like a ripoff of any of them,
there's a bit of jamie lidell feeling in there, a bit of
mouse on mars, maybe a touch of prefuse73 ... this overall
feeling of a disjointed funky menace that towers above you,
telling you to dance or be whipped with a cat of nine
tails.

just curious.

there are a couple of all right moments but overall it is
pretty boring in my opinion.

i really wish warp would open a north american
office/distribution point.
i have ordered from them (to canada) several times, and
generally its fine. but its a bit on the slow and pricy end.

All the prople who claimed Warp had fell off have now
officially had their own squits squished in their faces.
This album is most enjoyable.

I heard it once now and I can't make up my mind yet.

It's clearly this guy is influenced by a lot of Warp artists
as you mention. Although you forgot the most obvious imo,
the beat of Utopia is without any doubt heavily influenced
by Chris Clark.

His sound most closely resembles Chris Clark, whether that
is due to influence or happy coincidence I'm not sure.
Remember Jackson is not a child and so has probably been
making music for mad years and as nobody seems to have heard
any of his earlier material here it could well be he has
always done this kind of thing.

They have one in new york.


do they ever ship from it?
how come everytime ive ordered its come from overseas?
it would make sense to have a N.A. distro point, and stock
the majority of the NTSC dvds there and the PAL ones at the
main one. of course there is no such simple distinction with
CDS, maybe licensing/labeling issues.

i only hear the tiniest bit of chris clark in this, and
while I love chris clark, this guy's more consistently
enjoyable to listen to over the course of his whole album
than any of clark's stuff, in my opinion. There's also a bit
of eight frozen modules feeling at times, even joseph
nothing... but he's got all kinds of styles in there, from
marching band to 80s videogames to whatever else, often
within a single song. Hell at times he even reminds me of
Mike Patton, with his wild changes within tracks. And
everything has this kind of barely controlled radio chatter
feel slipping into it, like someone is flipping the channels
and then manipulating them to fit with the music that's
playing over them.

You can site a million warp artists and other musicians he
seems to take snippets of influence from, but i can't
pinpoint any he emulates. As any good musician, he draws
from all his influences to create something pretty damn
unique.

Listened to this on the way to work this morning. It's good.
Hope I managed to be one of the first 500 pre-orders. I want
that mix CD :D

It's worth a listen. Very good album. A good signing by Warp
I think.

"arpeggio" is a really great track, would've been a better
single than "rock on", I think.
