squarepusher Squarepusher - Shobaleader One: d'Demonstrator

I'll give it a good honest listen. I really like Into The Blue. Megazine is OK. Cryptic Motion is very so-so.

Kitsch is so rampant in music these days. It's just a phase, I hope.

i want to hear this.

maybe he should do a set of music videos for this, there should be a story trying together all the videos, maybe shobaleader is a band from some far away planet that gets everyone dancing, then they are kidnapped by some evil man so with the purpose of selling a lot of record here on earth, or something like that.

this would be great!

 

which one is ?

a leader of shoba.

And shoba is something led by a shobaleader.

It's an infinite loop!

Shoba is a deformation of the word "soba", the Japanese noodles, and THAT'S WHY it's released earlier in Japan. Everything was planed by tom, the one and only warp's mastermind

i'm digging this so far, the death metal track is a bit shite but it's an original sound from someone we've been listening to for going on 15 years so i cut him some slack. FTW

Glad he's not just doing the same thing over and over but I gotta say this is my least favorite release of his by a long shot. That said, Endless Night is pretty fuckin' sweet. The rest is very forgettable though.

i love this

not as bad as i expected, i might even like it :P

I like it quite a bit. Listen to it like a funk/almost R&B album and you will not be let down. This is some chill stuff, but very quality.

Most tracks will get old fast.

this is a fail album, agree about "endless night" though, sweet tune.

I really like this album, even though it feels like a bit of a guilty pleasure.

yeah i'm enjoying as well, its' a nice hiatus from his serious stuff, like ultravisitor (which i enjoyed still)

it's kind of fun and playful. i don't know if i'll rush out and buy it right away but i probably will

yeah but that was before i heard it :D

i still think megazine is god awful. and i still hate the sound of that vocoder in most tracks.

to me it sounds like the guitar is going through autotune

I think you hit the nail on the head there. That's why I like it anyway, and why I enjoyed JAS so much as well (not that I don't love the more intense stuff and amen wankery as well). 'Laser Rock' and 'Frisco Wave' are lovely tunes to boot.
