Squarepusher - The Exploding Psychology

... this song makes me feel like I'm being dragged on my face through a circuit breaker oblivion, if that makes any sense. Like the surface of the Death Star, but inside of a computer processor, and I'm getting torn to pieces on the rough surface, but it's amazing anyway.

Squarepusher is so hard to understand but once you see what they're getting at, as far as a musical goal, it's some of the most ridiculous, interesting music ever.

[Absinthe]

He's one of the few artists who I find constantly interacting with his audience through his albums. It's like at some point he thought people just didn't "get it", so he kept throwing curveball after curveball, waging war on his fans. How else do you explain quotes like this?

Because it is obscure, but not totally inaccessible, this makes it cool. This makes stupid people buy it. One day their children will dust it off and play it, and realise that I am the supreme musical genius of my generation. This means I'll still be able to play gigs when I'm an old fart with no ideas. Hopefully.

It's really the only way to explain the succession from Music Is Rotted One Note, to Do You Know Squarepusher? (aptly titled), and then the expository Ultravisitor.

Then, after years of swearing at everybody and calling himself the ****ing daddy, he put on a pink shirt and made nice on BBC's culture show. Regardless of personality, you know he has to be doing something right when people like Thom Yorke and Andre 3000 want to work with him, Flea calls him the best bass player alive, and the late John Peel struggled to get him on his show.

Aphex Twin - Change [Aphex Twin #2] - Nav Katze

26 Mixes For Cash is an awesome album that I barely here anyone talk about... Some of my favorite songs are on there.

[Absinthe]

The album has some gold on it, but as with most remix compilations, there's a few that are forgettable. It's especially noticeable that on some of the earlier remixes there's the commonality of throwing the beats through some ****ed-up bit crush distortion. And you can tell when he's just trying to make a quick buck with complete disregard to integrity (he is Aphex Twin, after all). It's the second disc that I find really takes off. The complete destruction of Die Fantastischen Vier's "Krieger" and Wagon Christ's "Spotlight" are brilliant, and his SAW2 remix takes on an all-new eerieness on its own.

That's not to say Disc 1 is anything to sneeze at. I've never heard anything else like his Buck Tick remix. For me it conjures up images of alien, night-covered forestry both beautiful and bizarre.

<3333

[Absinthe]

Oh dear.

Sit down, my son. Let me get you some hot coco and a blanket.

Are they categorized by album? That's pretty much the most efficient way to go at it. The first two albums are easily the most approachable to anybody. Ignoring most EPs for the time being... Incunabula is heavily rooted in early electro/IDM. Think Aphex Twin's SAW1, except more clinical and cold.

Recommended: Doctrine, Lowride, Windwind, Eggshell

Amber is a lot softer around the edges, dare I say more ambient. Easily the most human album they ever released. It also has the the distinction of holding the only Ae track I know that sounds remotely happy: "Slip".

Recommended: Slip, Piezo, Glitch, Sliverside

Tri Repetae is often considered to be their best album, as well as one of the most significant ones of its time. There's a clear change in theme. The mechanical flavors are pushed to the point of being almost industrial. Each track seems like it was made with a machine in mind. Clicks, buzzes, drones, bursts of white noise. Songs generally build themselves up layer by layer, growing more condensed until collapsing. The US release included both the Anvil Vapre and Garbage EPs, which I personally find almost inseparable from the album due to their quality. I consider this to be the cutoff point where they start going towards the deep end, consequently pissing off a lot of fans and confusing everybody else.

Reccomended: Clipper, C/Pach, Overand, Rsdio
Anvil Vapre: Second Scout, Second Scepe
Garbage: Bronchusevenmx24, VLetrmx21

Chiastic Slide, opposite of Tri Repetae, is actually considered one of the most underappreciated. If they're to be believed, they were doing a lot of shrooms during recording sessions. This is actually one of my favorites. They start experimenting more with different time signatures, freeform beats, and shifting patterns. Whereas the mechanics of the previous albums were almost pristine, Chiastic is clunky, picking up dirt and mud, losing resolution. But aside from that, it still retains some beautiful, albeit heart-rending tunes.

Reccomended: Rettic AC, Cichli, Recury, Pule

LP5 pushes further into experimental territory. It contains a fair amount of qualities from the previous albums, but it sounds firmly rooted in robot territory instead of physical mechanics. BPM's fold, sequences cut in and out, synths morph on the fly. I think this is actually the weakest album, but not without its merits.

Recommended: Acroyear2, Corc, Drane2

Confield is, bar none, their most difficult. If you had a concept of music, this challenges it. Aphex Twin at his hardest is almost a pansy in comparison with certain tracks. Wether or not you consider it music or simply a collection noises running on mathemetical algorithms and sequences is up to you. Beats can exist for a second before getting smashed apart. I love it, but I don't blame some people for hating it.

Recommended: Pen Expers, Sim Gishel, Uviol, Parhelic Triangle

Draft 7.30 takes the concepts behind Confield and focuses them into something more manageable, yet still drives it into further abstraction. Their hip-hop roots shine through from time to time, but they've pretty much mangled them into their bitches. Synths and percussive elements are sometimes indistinguishable, blending together or trading places. If you still don't like Ae at this point, you should just give up, because you never will. But hell, it obviously can't be all that bad. I heard the last track in a cell phone ad.

Recommended: 6ie.cr, Tapr, P.:ntil, Reniform Puls

Their latest album, Untilted, rather than wholly moving into another phase, seems to take all prior experience from each album. Previously, you occasionally got the idea that that they were just letting their tracks run on code and pressing the end result to a CD. But there are many times here you can detect the actual uncanny precision. Tracks progress through varied, segmented forms, often sounding nothing like the way they began. You can still hear some of the old 808 handclaps and drum kicks. And there is a distinct human signature on it. Some parts sound like Kraftwerk on ecstasy. Some are like cavernous domes, piping in audience noise, stuttering chants, and vocalizations. The end shoots out into space before drifting into a void.

Recommended: LCC, Ipacial Section, Pro Radii, Fermium, Sublimit

You have fairly similar music tastes to me, and you're adventurous enough. So you can jump in pretty much anywhere past Tri Repetae (although Confield will take getting used to no matter what). But I personally think that the most interesting progression is in chronological order, since it just gives you an idea of of how much they've transformed. Although there's still a good chance you won't like it. There's not really anything else to compare it to.
Untilted is perhaps their most accessible album in a long time, but it's still some of the strangest shit to come out of music. When I said they challenged the concept of it, I was serious. It does make you ask yourself if music has to have a consistent (or even identifiable) structure, or if it needs to be pleasing to the ears. One of their goals seems to take whatever current tools are available and then pushing them to their extremes before anybody else, and they're always one step ahead in that regard. But don't let that fool you into thinking it's a gimmick without emotion. They have produced some of the most moving pieces I've heard. They're subtle, carefully made, and often have a pervasive sadness to them.
And on a lesser note, their very nature can make them some excellent drug music. I could listen to Chiastic Slide for ages on shrooms (although don't expect any soft SAW2 vibes). Confield and the Gantz Graf EP seem practically tailor-made for dissociatives.

Apologies to all others for taking up this much space. :|

(Also, ep7, while considered an EP, actually has the full length of an actual album)

[Vegeta897]

Autechre - Nuane

That's a goodin' there. Love the changing decay and high pass on that whistley hat thingy.

[Absinthe]

I've heard people listen to that song and say it's too abrasive. I think their heads would explode if I played some of their later material.

[Vegeta897]

Some of Autechre is a bit too abrasive for me. Nuane is not one of them. I only like abrasiveness when it's at a climax or is used in a super fast breakbeat style. The ending of 54 Cymru Beats by Aphex Twin is both.

[Absinthe]

Yeah, they can get pretty grating. But at the least, I always find them interesting. Years from now, there will be courses in studying their tracks, finding the underlying workings.

And sometimes I need something to obliterate my senses, even if it isn't necessarily an enjoyable experience. Like a cathartic rush that breaks down my mental construction, then having it reform from there. Squarepusher's good for that as well sometimes.

Oh, and so I'm not entirely off topic: "Steinbolt" by Squarepusher

"I Wish You Could Talk" by Squarepusher

[Qonfused]

I've been listening to a lot of Autechre, Gescom, Fatboy Slim, NIN, Tool and BoC over the course of my ban. At the moment? Mag 3.1426 by Gescom.

[TheAntipop]

Didn't care for a lot of it at first either. Apart from "XYLIN ROOM" and "6IE.CR", I found myself skipping through a lot. It took me a good two or three months until I started enjoying it wholly. =\

Yeah, Amber took a while to hit home but I listen to it regulary now. I'll keep trying.

[586FAC75]

"Blue Train" Ogg Vorbis. Some radio rip, haven't got a clue what it is, but it's jazz-tastic (albeit French).

[Icarusintel]

Modest Mouse - The Stars Are Projectors

[Atomic_Piggy]

Somewhere I Belong - by Linkin Park. A brilliant song by a brilliant group.

[Absinthe]

Brilliant marketers, maybe...

Yeah, it's damn good. I couldn't wait the extra couple months, so I figured I'd treat myself early. I'll certainly be getting it when it comes out.

[Bad^Hat]

[Qonfused]

"Viral Rival" by Gescom

Great Autechre remix. Gescom is such an intriguing project.

Indeed. I actually like more of Gescom's stuff (albeit few) more than Autechre's. Which is weird considering it's more or less the same people.

It's more than just Ae though. Anywhere between 20 and 30 people are involved (we just don't know who, for the most part). Sean Booth and Rob Brown are just the most recognizable of the contributors.

[joule]

Eminem - Rock Bottom

[Ennui]

Radiohead - Let Down

[Que-Ever]

Precious- The Jam

[Stigmata]

Radiohead - Let DownA lot of people say that Let Down is the worst song on the album, but it's actually quite nice.

Boards of Canada - Farewell Fire

[Ennui]

Let Down is a great song. There aren't any bad Radiohead songs...

Phish - Rift

[Stigmata]

I dunno, there are a few songs on Pablo Honey that are pretty bad. But I suppose they're only bad compared to every Radiohead song from The Bends onwards :P

Boards of Canada - Music is Math

[Ennui]

Phish - Maze

[Que-Ever]

Mother- The Police.

The police used to be such an awesome reggae/ska influenced rock band, but later on they turned into such a stupid synth hair-salon kind of band. Makes me sad :(

[jimbo118]

Explosions in the Sky - So long, lonesome
