Some of the sickest ravers on Planet Earth

I hated Squarepusher’s Just a Souvenir album. I hated its jazzy electro, pompous, inhumane existence. It was a boring moodling odyssey. In a review, I wrote he played bass “like a coked up Howard Moon” so it was with some trepidation I listened to Numbers Lucent, his just-released 6-track EP. It still retains elements of the jazz fret-wankery but the happy finish is this dirty raveup aimed squarely (sorry) at the crusty dancefloor.

Squarepusher – Illegal Bin

That’ll wake you up on a Monday. U:mack are bringing Squarepusher to Dublin on the 25th of April.

    Sorry chaps but this CD is further evidence of Mr Jenkinson’s declining powers, or rather his will to use them to continue to make interesting music. I’m normally a big fan but this just doesn’t make the cut.

    I’m glad he’s returned to a more dancy as opposed to noodly headwreck sound, but yeah, it’s diminishing returns. Fucking class cover though. I’d love to spend an afternoon making something like that out of lego.
