Everything means something else to everybody else. The live disk sounds like merzbow at the end, that was pretty ill. The ambient stuff at the end of the first disk of "do you know squarepuser" is what I was mainly talking about. Plus the brilliant intellectual british rap is dope. Tis all.

I thought the new album was ok. The live cd was pointless imo. Go Plastic was amazing though...dunno why Pitchfork gave it such a low mark...

I kinda like his version of Love Will Tear Us Apart..even though I find it totally pointless and out of place..mainly because its so faithful to the original

it's an awesome mini album. way too short to be called a full album, without a doubt. maybe that's why he released an only mediocre live album with it.
i like most of DYKS a lot, but it doesn't stack up compared to Go Plastic or Big Loada...
the 'love will wear us apart' is awesome. i like it more than the original, but that could be because i like squarepusher more than joy division.

i actually base my opinion of joy division totally on 'love will tear us apart' alone...never even heard their other stuff. so i wouldn't really know what they're like.

you should get into them, they were unique, i mean, no-one was using the drumming pattern's they were using, the drumming's influence was mainly early 70's Can and Kraftwerk.

it's always odd, but somehow cool, talking to people who've yet to discover some of the "masters" from past ages. people who've been unexposed to (certain) music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and early to mid 90s can offer a unique, unbiased spin on things like cover versions when they haven't heard the original. it used to make me mad but it's silly to expect everyone to know about the same stuff.

i like []pusher's version of love will tear apart, even if it is a bit pointless to cover a song a exactly.
i suppose it's a case of not trying to fix something that isn't broken.

From what I've heard its still pretty good. I mean he's still the best at what he does. But you get the feeling certainly with someone whose made such an impact like Squarepusher that where does he go next (especially with not a massive audience). I'm wondering with people like Squarepusher whether its time to bow out and for them to say to themselves 'well I'll go down in history so perhaps its time to do something else'. Problem is for people like TJ they get stuck in a rut, stuck down a cul-de-sac with what they do. I think they find it hard to see the wood for the trees or perhaps they can and figure 'well what else am I gonna do?'; either way I think its quite possible they've reached their peak and it can only go downhill from there. For me personally I probably haven't been paying as much attention to him as I did say up to 2 years ago; not that I don't rate him its just I think he may have reached his peak or maybe reaching his peak. What do the board think?

I was a bit disappointed that []pusher resorted to putting a cover version on his latest album. Perhaps he ran out of new material or felt he was established enough to get away with it. Who knows? I thought my CD player had gone crazy when it started playing.
That said, I did enjoy the other tracks on the album, and I especially liked the intricate use of hard-edged cockney rap in perfect time with []pusher's frenetic beats. That was a nice little intervention on his part :o)

Isnt his new LP just tracks that never made it onto Go Plastic? I mean the Alive in Japan disc has practically the whole DYKS album live with some GP trax... and it was recorded in 2001. What happened to those tracks that Aphex had stolen on his mp3? >[] should have just did a double LP of them...

Anyone who says Go Plastic (or drukqs) is shit makes an enemy of me. Seriously: I take my music seriously, to the level of violence against an opposite opinion. So what if it's irrational,...

the track where he 'raps' is a complete clone of Otto Von Schirach's style. Anyone who's heard Otto's stuff for years and then hears that new track probably laughs their ass off! Not a bad track, just COMPLETELY unoriginal and misleading....
(sample conversation) "Whoa... I've never heard anything like that..." "Me neither..."
(fast forward to hearing Otto x months later)
"Man, this dude's trying to sound like Squarepusher on that one song! What shit."
"Screw this. Take it out. Seems like everyone copies off the big guys."
no flames, please. I like Pusher. But what does everyone else think? Maybe they're just 'on the same level'? heehee.

Yea I did think it sounded kinda like some of Otto's rapperish stuff when I first heard it... but not EXACTLY like it. I think its pretty origional. Especially the lyrics behind it. He wasnt blatantly ripping Otto's style, I dont think so at least. I mean its not like Dr. Flamenco or anything... Otto's mc skills are much better IMO, but I think they are doing their own thing.... just my two cents.
Dr. Flemenco is a dope ass dong BTW
So is F-Train ("the track where he 'raps")
