Well? Has it sunk in yet? Has the genious of Squarepusher enveloped you? There were a lot of complaints at first, chaps! Has time softened the neural net into a full receiving station for the ´pusha? Has his live set not totally rewired your brain? Do you understand the flow of the Japan gig.. the ups and the downs, the rushes and the digital mayhem... Do you know squarepusher, NOW? |

loved it at first, but now it bores me :-( I can only listen to the titletrack anymore (infact i listen to the titletrack nearly on a daily basis). Even "annstromm feck4" sounds a bit too simple and shallow to me now. I only listened to that live-disc one time... i'd rather just put on Go Plastic ;-) |

Surrounded: i´m tellig ya its a grower. If you just let the live experience wash over you and imagine the guy comeing out on stage, he´s a little drunk, he´s an old timer at the bass n drums and is havin fun with his hardware.... he instinctively knows what knobs to twiddle and when. He´s knows how to send the crowd nto a frenzy. No one can touch his energy i think. I´ve been to a lot of different types of gigs from punk to gabba and SP is raw quantum energy... He´s a other-dimension alien taking a peak at our world and pulling back the blind on his world for a brief while. As for CD1.. ya gottas start mixing it in with other braindance styuff and Vsnares, AFX, phenecia, whithhoiuse, throbbing gristle.. its intense! |

Watching the mpeg of the second disk improved it for me. Good setting and the crowd does go wild when the hard bits come in. The first disk is okayyyy but christ why wasn't it longer |

hm... i might give the live-disk another chance then. Your description sounds quite tasty ;-) But last time i listened to it, it sounded just like Go Plastic with a few minor changes and a bunch of japanese people shouting in the background :-/ I wonder if it really will grow on me. Also because you seem to be the only one on this board who really likes it ;-) |

i know!!! Whats the story there? I´m starting to see thread about U2 n Coldplay etc!.... aren´t people listening to the new IDM coming out? CD2 IS gO pLASTIC but for me SP is 100% true heart and soul when "live" ...the likes of which i only see when seeing old 70´s punk-indies videos. _If i made a studio album like GP, i´d want to play most of it live and tweak-stretch the ass out of it to wind up the crowd who know the tunes!!! C´MONNNNNNNN |

i´d want to play most of it live and tweak-stretch the ass out of it to wind up the crowd who know the tunes!!! well ofcourse! It was no doubt a fantastic show for those that attended it... but i'm just saying it doesn't really come across when listening to it in the comfort of your own home. I dislike almost every live-album though... that might have something to do. When i see an artist live i want raw energy, when i listen to them at home i want perfection and attention to details :-) |

I have no desire to listen to it. That isn't a good thing, is it? |

I'd say its pretty much the opposite of Drukqs. As Drukqs reward with repeated listening, Squarepusher's album IS to shallow to obsess over. Not that i dont like the album. But it has a pop music effect on me. |

|
ah, i get you! I´m quite good at pretending i´m there.... i´ve gotten rushes and stuff.... it´s all psychosomatic of course. Most of my favOURITE tunes at home are badly-recorded, imperfect, static-heavy crappy CD´s and tapes... i hate crisp and clean! So naturally i love CD2!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hm... that makes a surprising amount of sense actually. Indeed that might be the reason why you love it so much, whilst i prefer the crispness of GP! |

what do you mean watching the mpeg? from where? of what? tell me!! |

i havent really listened to it in a while... i like it..just havent been in the mood..maybe i'll listen to it in the car tomorrow.. i only listened to disc 2 once also.. im sure it was an amazing experience in the flesh.. but the cd is just like go plastic with lesser sound quality to me.. which i suppose isnt bad.. but i dont really listen to go plastic much either.. call me old fashioned..but i tend to prefer music with emotion.. sp's older stuff was great in that way.. i suppose go plastic and dyks still have some emotion.. but they seem to be more focused on playing around with new equipment and technical fuckery.. which is interesting at the first few listens... but it gets old much faster.. as opposed to emotional expression..which never becomes obsolete |

i also cant get into the live cd, the sound quality bothers me too much... |

I was over this mini-moni-muni (small) release before it was out sadly. (I thought it was too short) Watching the vid of the 2nd disc was my highlight. |

But I'm sure a person who DID NOT know squarepusher would LOVE it mate!! |

ho hum is all i can say. welll, there is this too....I´m in a world on my own i spose. digital fuckery comes from somewhere and i totally see that with SP... he´s letting the emotion that to me is blatantantly there for all to see, pour out of his head and body through his hardware...... my kind of musician is up there in his own world and the audience is brought into the madness, and brought on a journey........ look at all the high energy live music.. jazz, punk etc... you have to trust the musician and let him drag you around... if you completely give yourself to SP, its a fuckin ultra octane... i´m a bit sad that nobody here knows where i´m coming from cos this kind of energy is what hurled me into IDm in the first place and something on this board seems to be lost, numbed my casual, expectations-not-being-met, listening.
