Hello Everything / Bleep.com singles (Welcome To Europe / Exciton / Hanningfield Window)

Respect to the dint....

welcome to europe is one of my favourite and most played 12s - some of my favourite squarepusher work, love it.

Hello Everything has got some great melodies, but a little boring on the beat programming side

Yeh... the beat-programming devolved quite a bit after Venus 17.......the melodies, bass, acid-lines and structure have remained consistently good though.

I wonder, why? Many reasons I suppose. It all seems like more or less one drum-loop now. We miss the frenetic beats!!!

when asked about why the less amen mangling on HE in an interview, he answered quite simply "because the track didn't need it".

so there you go.

This may be somewhat true, but think about songs like Plotinus and Rotate Electrolyte. The combination of the relatively tame beats with excellent melodies creates awesome songs where the sum is greater than the components alone.

Also, I fail to comprehend why Hanningfield Window wasn't on the album

also my opinion on the single is that exciton are kinda cool when you're in a certain JAS/rock/energetic mood. hanningfield is also quite good, but I like every track on HE better than it (save for vacuum garden, lulz). welcome to europe is brilliant. the melody is brilliant.

PLANETARIUM

oh wait. Hello Everything is a part of this week as well.

ONE OF THE BEST SQUAREPUSHER ALBUMS

I like Vacuum Garden, it makes me feel tense and uneasy.

i think of Hello Everything onward as SP's "colorful" period. more focus on colorful videogameish melodies, almost no focus on beatfucks.

unfortunately with Hello Everything I feel rather let down. it may be my least favorite SP album, though the melodies are often quite good. it feels a bit empty.

still though, it's a very good album. just not my favorite, by a long shot.

"The Modern Bass Guitar" one of my favorite tracks from the 'pusher, love the switch in the middle of the track.

Hanningfield Window!

Plotinus is one of my favourite sp tracks ever.

I mixed Planetarium with some other stuff pretty fabulously in my squarepusher mix.. 2 mins in....
