i know this tune obviously, one i was obsessed with years ago. it is more indie/industrial breaks that got blipped into the hardcore scene. quite austere. i maintain that aesthetically if you want to go back to the breaks you have to to bonebreaks. and for the bass weight and headfuck insanity its 89-90 era bleep.

Excellent post from me. The music press should have never existed.

i've been on a mini squarepusher jag for the last couple of days, catching up with what he's been doing in the last 10 years or something
still has his own world which i occasionally like to visit. i don't understand the point of the "band" he formed called Shobaleader One who recorded this entirely pointless version of one of his best old tracks
...unless you consider the semi-kids TV vibe in the video putting a different slant on the sound. he also did some music for kids tv. for all i know he's into a vineland and after phase of his career. i'll watch this video after a couple more coffees

did anyone ever see him live? i saw him at green man and it was good. he was in a sort of shed/box with no front, so had walls around him and on top, at back, but open to audience. and he had all his bit infront of him. he was sat in profile and there was bright light so good silhouette.
and then set up next to him was a guitarist, in a similar box. side on again so throwing lots of good shadows as he chopped about.
so it was like two blokes in chalet huts banging out.

I saw him at the Glade festival a year when it rained torrentially and nearly sank the whole site into a marsh. He stood on stage and played slap-bass over some backing tracks and it was not very engaging. I was clearly in a minority of miserable cunts because his reception was rapturous
Oh don't get me wrong. I'd never intentionally see him live, he's still beyond the pale in that regard. I think he can be appreciated as kitsch in moderate doses though, which puts him miles above Orbital who are so serious and obsessed with writing good melodic tunes, as if electronic music needs melodies - it's electrical current for heavens sake!

I saw Squarepusher at Glastonbury in 1997 - it was I believe on my birthday and fairly early on in the day. (It was the only time I went to Glastonbury).
Anyway he was amusingly shit. Lots of samples about "having your breakfast" and breakbeats. He got on the mic and did a shoutout to "everyone whose been up all night drinking" and then at the end of the set announced, laughing, that he had forgotten to play his bass.

After this a bunch of us went for coffee and my beloved pulled out a birthday cake she had smuggled in for me that she'd made.
