Tracklist in order.

 

 

01 Plug Me In 4:49

02 Laser Rock 4:43

03 Into The Blue 4:46

04 Frisco Wave 3:45

05 Megazine 4:34

06 Abstract Lover 3:46

07 Endless Night 5:05

08 Cryptic Motion 3:44

09 Maximum Planck 6:58

 

Total Duration

 

42.37 min

 

That just doesn't make much sense, the single Cryptic Motion is over 6 minutes long.. They better not cut the song short for the LP, the second half is the shit.

add up the values, but replace 3.44 with 6.11 and you get 42.37. only, i didn't compensate for 60 seconds in a minute so i don't konw what to believe anymore.

Sorry the 3:44 is the false track duration of last.fm, because of the radio version, i suppose.

I posted the right duration in the other thread some days ago, did not correct it this time. Althougt one track seems to have change laser rock is now "Smash Unreason".

Dunno if it is the same track.

Ha. What a dork Tom is. With a name like that this track had better be his most blistering example of micro-composed IDM to date. Perhaps he composed the entire track at the sample level.

This reminds me of all of those jazz artists from the last three decades who used the names of really futuristic-sounding physics theorems or astronomical bodies for their tracks, despite still being relatively corny music.

Ha.

I didn't quite have Sun Ra in mind. I was thinking more along the Metheny/Zawinul line of jazz musician.

he made a mistake at 1:13. I'm sure the b he played there was unintentional.

new squarepusher? it's going to have to be pretty good to get my attention this time.

If it's jazzed in the way of Hard Normal Daddy, it would be sweet. It is, of course, not.

What is this shit?

at this point if tom takes a dump WARP will box it up and package it w/ 3 other extra eps w/ "BONUS TRACKS"

and a french camera crew will film tom taking this musical bowel movement to document the moment/flavor

then........

you fanboys will ceaselessly dissect,debate,ponder and basically wallow in rubato over said new tom dookie with relish and vigor!

i haven't had my ass kicked by the pusher since ultravisitor

i know he will return but for now i am dis-appointed in general with his "later " output

and this 30 second clip is included

zzzzzzzzzzz ho hum job

Without the internet, yould be fucked. Do you ever catch your mother looking at you dejectedly?

Tundra 2, 50 Cycles, Steinbolt and Planetarium were the last big tunes of TJ for me. I pray he'll be good again. Maybe some wicked brainfuck beats again.

Shobaleader One - Megazine

[vimeo]14804052[/vimeo]

+ Squarepusher Q&A at warp.net

1. What is Shobaleader One?

Shobaleader One is my band. Last summer a bunch of kids got in contact with me. They were talking about forming an ensemble, which I thought was a ridiculous idea but I was impressed by their perseverance so we met up. Their idea was that they wanted the 'fantasy group' I had written about in connection with 'Just A Souvenir' to become a real entity that would record and tour. So we had a go at doing some recording and the story so far is documented on this record.

2. Who is in the band?

Basically a bunch of people who you may or may not have heard of from other bands and projects. Part of their idea is that this music is a completely clean break with whatever they've done in the past so I'm not allowed to mention any names. I can tell you that they are pretty frightening players.

3. What are the aims of Shobaleader One?

The overall aim is to articulate my music through the medium of a band. I always thought that a band would be a limiting thing. I've got very used to being able to make music by programming or playing without having to explain anything to anyone, and I assumed it would slow everything down if I had to. Actually it has made it quicker because I'm not trying to be four people simultaneously any more. I'm not over-explaining anything to them as they've got strong ideas of their own and I want to hear that in the final results.

4. Do you have live plans?

At the moment the plan is to tour next year after we have recorded more material. Playing live is part of the focus of this music. I'm really excited about playing live as this group of musicians is an extremely potent mixture. I've no idea what it's going to be like touring with them as not one of us is what you'd call easy going. Every member of this band is a high-tension freak so who knows what'll end up happening!

5. How did the Mr Oizo remix come about?

That was Pedro's idea from Ed Banger. I've always had respect for that bunch. I thought it would be great because Oizo is on quite a different tip to Shobaleader One.

6. What's next?

I'm writing more material for the band to record. It's an ongoing experiment. Each one of us is trying to develop the sound of their instrument. It's really exciting to be involved with instrumental players who are as into sonic experimentation as much as the actual music. I've also been in contact with Andre from Outkast recently.

7. How would you describe the sound of Shobaleader One and are there any specific sounds, artists or albums that have influenced this new direction?

We are playing my compositions, so in that respect it relates quite clearly to what I've done before, but as I'm not doing much playing or programming it is sonically quite different. It sounds more focused. Lots of musos end up just making their music a platform to display their skill. The great thing about this lot is that although they are great players they keep 99% of that hidden and just use it to give a very acute delivery of the songs.

Musically speaking these kids come from a metal background but they're all bang into really slick R&B which I found quite funny at first but it's making more sense as we go on. The basic premise at the outset was 'space pop' - a utopian pop music hallucination. It's a stand against the affectation of knowing indifference in urban life and its corollary in music. I've always wanted to sabotage coolness as for me music is about laughing and crying, not about standing around smoking cigarettes.

Sounds like Squarepusher is all fried.

Doesn't sound much like a band, so far.
