You'll need Real Player or Windows player - download them for free and it should be fine - it is the BBC website...so it should like, work.

Hey Peter - I can understand if you're not a fan (I'm assuming you're not) that you might find this a bit odd - but I think I speak for a lot of Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher) fans that his music is definitely something that gains in appeal the more you listen to it - he's made around ten albums and they all have moments of great musicianship and music on them - but there are some bits where he goes a bit nuts and even I don't really enjoy those sections. All I can say is that Matt Garrison considers him brilliant and even Herbie Hancock rates him really highly - Andre 3000 also wants to work with him as do a bunch of other well known musos - I honestly think he's doing something very creative and interesting and he's the ONLY solo bassist I've ever seen entertain 2000 people, on his own, in a big venue in London - he really is the sh!t.

But then again - if you don't like it - fair enough - all I can say is give it a go, you might end up liking it.

Cheers

Mike

I'll try. But after 25 minutes it's not looking like I'll like it. I need melody not computerized noise. I'm glad garrison and Hancock are fans. I'm not a fan of either. Garrison has a few tunes I like but on whole is very one dimensional. I liked herbie way back when and I like his spirit but just can't listen to him these days unless he plays the piano.

Oh well Peter - it'd be a dull old place if we all liked the same stuff anyway -
