I love how everyone in the comments is posting a timestamp saying that's the best part of the song and they are all different

The beauty of music.

[@xbenci]

that's how you know a track is great

[@nickycotton6137]

AmenS

[@hansbernardd]

LOL.

[@lostinspace_yt]

This track blows my mind. I don't think I've ever heard *sampled drums* sound so real... Except for the parts that don't sound real lol

[@IllicitMediaproductions]

Yea he’s fucking incredible

[@maxspencerkarinen6463]

The bass clarinet is without a doubt my favourite instrument. So much complexity and range to its sound

[@QUIZFILTER]

This whole album is good for cold rainy foggy days & nights & fish&chips & soup & stew & bread&butter...

After this it's hard to find anything else that is even mildy in the same realm of groove and stimulation. Squarepusher is the shit.

[@joshuaherner7315]

That bass at 4:24, I have been so blessed with ears too hear melodies of such a refined taste and distinguished caliber . #Jenkinson #legend

[@jonathanmurphy7626]

I swear Ive heard it in other song. the exact base line, cant recall where tho.

[@T--xo2uq]

I can tell this is nineties. It's got that mix of electronic and other genres from last century, like cowboy bebop. This, along with Ventian Snares and Aphex Twin are what I will try my best to model my own music after.

[@garythomas4431]

Very Yoko Kano.

[@alicesmith8134]

7pm, winter, dark as fuck. Had a headache from the night before, and I was being driven home. This came on shuffle on my ipod, and I just watched the road in front of me being lit by the car lights for the whole song.

[@d-culture927]

Sounds perfect except for the headache. Hate those.

[@Wizuu0274]

5:55 reminds me so much of Jaco Pastorius' 16th note runs, it's nice.

[@syringeee103]

Best track on the album. No doubt.

[@tomas_horn]

6:36 - this is the time where it shines :)

[@martinsp90]

yep

[@hitkid2456]

I chose this for early (read: 90s) Squarepusher songs among them all... Then I noticed I'd forgotten "Port Rhombus", and man that one does not make it easy! I feel ashamed, but I'll have to stand by what I went with.

[@musique4581]

OMG The drum programming...

[@jesuscm1398]

Easily the best of the whole album

[@logimite7174]

Agreed, underrated track

[@hitkid2456]

The bests have to be this and Coopers World IMO, but it's all solid af

[@zainkhoryzs6680]

I know this masterpiece from BFM. 89.9 Radio station in Malaysia

[@futurespells]

wish he'd go back to this style, and go music is rotted 2.0 with newer elements of madness that only he can do. shit would be a level of ridiculousness in the vein of 'Bitches Brew' Mr. Jenkinson, you're not a robot.. come back and let the jazz form free once again, it's high time. cheers.

[@mpfmax0]

+futurespells I was thinking the exact same thing, songs like this and tundra, beep street, the swifty will always be my favorite also his acid stuff like theme for ernest borgnine and wooshkie were also pretty good, but in his recent stuff I have only found few songs i truly enjoy.

[@garethevans7295]

+mpfmax0 I saw him live a few months back, having not heard any of his latest album(s?) but being a big fan of this era. I was really dissapointed, his new stuff seemed to lack the imagination and excitement of this, and came across as very generic, middle of the road 'edm'. He seems to be appealing to a different audience these days, how the mighty have fallen....

[@geoffreylebowski8641]

+futurespells yeah but he's an artist...if he followed anyone's agenda he would not be Jenkinson. I'd say to just wait and he will rotate back to his original mood

[@geoffreylebowski8641]

+futurespells But you're right in a way. This stuff is amazing. Let birds fly my man! Peace to you

[@SebastianMikulec]

+futurespells I mean, I get where you're coming from and I'm right there with you, but every true artist transitions and changes as they age, those that don't get stuck in a rut. I'm not sure Tom could do works like this again if he really wanted to, he's not the same person any more.

[@gabomasters]

Cult , i have the LP from the beginning. Timeless music , for me the best Warp Lp

[@antti3779]

yeah cause now you are just hyperblasted with content and stimulus and nothing feels special anymore

[@shadowchasernql]

@@antti3779 Yeah I agree ever since music sharing on the Internet in the late 90s, music felt alot less special, but then again, being "hyperblasted" with weird new experiences makes it so nobody's tastes are quite the same, that's the one thing I like about the internet.

@@user-og6hl6lv7p what's important is that you take it to heart. its only truth if you're listening to the right shit tho. SP is a good place to start but I would also recommend Hymn To The Seventh Galaxy by Return to Forever. Mahavishnu Birds of Fire, John Abercrombie - Timeless, Ravel's Piano Trio and Ornette Coleman's Skies of America to begin with.

[@joshknightfall]

If you asked him I imagine itd be like "I have no idea, I mess around and find stuff that sounds interesting and I throw it together with other stuff that sounds interesting." specifically you can say oh he takes samples and chops them up and sequences them then layers them with synths and recorded tracks of him playing bass or guitar or piano or w/e but the creative process is messy and explorative I'd imagine

Miles Davis alive.

[@samdraper9470]

I think the problem is that people don't have 'time' to listen to stuff properly nowadays. They want a quick fix. This side of Squarepusher completely relies upon the listening side and he's decided to veer away from that way of making music.....however, you have to keep up with the times. Unfortunately, jazz and experimental music isn't cool any more (sobs)...
