You know squarepusher boutta be pushing squares and shit

[@jameslassan861]

Just push that square, man

[@nomad_boreal]

I think I listened thru Dostrotime like three times at this point. For some reason the stand-out track for me wasn't his usual high-speed chopped-up break drum barrage, but Arkteon 2 - a more subdued acoustic guitar riff, as ironic as that sounds. There's just something oddly foreboding yet whimsical about it at the same time.

[@larsini0]

squarepusher the goat

[@Korksmeo]

I have listened to this album 10-15 times already. It is AGAIN one of the greatest albums of Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher. It is super consistent and vibrant. All tracks he seems selected with passion and they are full of his creativity and immense energy which you can feel as well. This album is fantastic! 5 out 5 !

[@RecliningFurniture]

I'll give it a go. I preferred Tom's live band versions of his older stuff to the original recordings, and I think you gave my favourite album of his (Damogen Furies) a '6', so there is hope for this one.

[@anarchodolly]

I disagree about the solo bass tracks (Arkteon 1-3): I think they actually help glue the album together and make it more structured and cohesive. When he first announced the album, Tom talked about the effects of the Covid lockdowns and the subsequent jubilation of coming through the other side of it all. I think bearing that context in mind, the album makes total sense. I hear the Arkteon parts as reflecting present isolation of the lockdowns and the bulk of the rest of the album as a mixture of memories of pre-pandemic and expectation of the post-pandemic world. That may be a simplistic reading of it, but I think it makes sense and it underlines the importance of those tracks. They help frame and give meaning to everything else.

[@FLUFFYCAT_PNW]

Ayyyyyy let's goooo. Time to push some squares! Hope he will go on tour now.

[@casey8950]

you review music?

[@tanaybhomia2784]

Loving the new thumbnails.

[@breadyogurt3957]

Tbh, all the experimental stuff he releases always resonate with me, like the classical interludes he puts - probably cause I especially like classical guitar, but also jazz and techno. They give me confidence in thinking about how to shape my music. Edit: btw, good review, haha.

[@auggie87]

Personally speaking I don't think as Squarepusher he's ever put out a bad album. Just A Souvenir was one of my favorite albums of that decade and since then he's always done new things to challenge himself which you have to respect.

[@brandonmcleod9182]

I think he's trying to avoid giving it a middling review and will chuck it in YUNO I think it's a proper grower like A Fever Dream was so it's hardly ripe for music reviewers to love anywho

[@SendyTheEndless]

Worth the price of admission for Akkranen on its own

[@pdlkmusic]

Not an album cut but Wendorlan (Slamstep Mix) might be the most intense single track he has ever made and to hear something like that this deep into his career is so awesome.

Hey melon, would you consider doing any reviews of Jacob Collier's music, now that all 4 volumes of Djesse are out?

Everyone gets nostalgic for the ole sheet but truth is so much more interesting stuff happening in the new guard.

[@andrei11dr]

Even tho there's cult following, I still feel like Squarepusher is pretty underrated compared to some of the other "IDM" artists of the 90s, the combination of sequenced glitchy electronics and live virtuosic playing sounds like giant mess on paper but he just makes it work so well, it's kinda funny how this stuff comes off more human than a lot of modern prog metal bands
