I saw Squarepusher at ATP last December, and to quote Robert Fripp, the top of my head blew off. Never experienced music like it. Definitely worth staying up til 3am for.

Sadly I went back the next night to see him again and some fool called 'Kool Keith' overran considerably and Mr Jenkinson was delayed by 2 hours. I was in a near-zombie state anyway, and had to admit defeat.

If you like that vid, the song's from the album Just a Souveneir, and it's chock full of bass/drum goodies like that.

Sure makes me miss my MM Sabre! Is it just the bass + drums with the computer putting out the atmospherics?

i'm not completely up to date with squarepusher's recent antics, but he controls a lot of midi stuff with his bass iirc. tom jenkinson aka squarepusher is the bassist in question. the drummer seems like a recent addition but i can't say i disapprove, he's pretty sick!

good sounding stuff. Nice to see creative talent in the modern era of mindless hooks and amorphous media-driven garbage.

The fool you are talking about (Kool Keith), is a rap legend.
Just because you are not a rap fan does not mean you can call him or anyone for that matter a fool.

YEP!!!
He's a killer emcee!
The first Ultramagnetic MC's (cirtical breakdown) & the Dr Octagon albums are a must for any record collection.
As for Squarepusher, all his cds are pure AWESOMe!!!!!!

Wow, glad to see this thread caught on!

Yep, love the addition of a live drummer to Toms' musical universe.

Just saw where he is putting out a Solo Bass album, imaginatively titled "Solo Electric Bass" on the 17th of this month. Can't wait!

Mr Jenkinson is a KILLER bass player not to mention inhuman programmer & arranger/composer.
One of the rare pure GENIUS' of music in our time IMO.
He is one of my favorite musicians of all time.
Not really feeling the idea of a solo bass cd, but I love artists that take different directions in their musical journey. Pushing the boundaries of their craft, like Miles or Trane did.
The world needs more Tom Jenkinson.

I had to listen again. That is some major league, butt-kicking Music Man Sabre tone! Squarepusher is from another planet, but I'm glad he hangs out on Earth.
