squarepusher Squarepusher - Ufabulum

you're right, i replaced it with the word shit

i think it sounds about the same as his last 'normal' couple of albums when he wasn't being jazzy or digi-metal. which is kinda saddening.

i still feel like pusher could gain a lot if he surrendered himself to an interesting producer/engineer. I feel like his greatest weakness at this point is being a one-man-band

energy wizard definitely has a skrillex vibe to it, i think it's that formant synth and the sheer maximalism of the whole thing. and a weird 80s vibe with the DX7y thing. but it's fucking good!

"Dark Steering" to me is interesting, because it shows even if you have an eventide orville and some of the most advanced DSP processing equipment in the world, the sound palette on the other end remains the same for over a decade

He also got a Yamaha CS80.

Now that I'm starting to fall in love with Hello Everything again, I'm kind of dissapointed with this album

How can you be disappointed with the album when only a small portion of it is available for listening?

If all I heard from Go Plastic is MRHC and that section of Bonneville Occident where Tom for some reason musically quotes Gary Glitter's Rock N Roll, I'd be pretty disappointed in Go Plastic.

Dark Steering is pretty cool. I like it a lot more than some of his other stuff. I say this while not really enjoying Hello Everything and Ultravisitor that much, which means most people probably disagree with what "good Squarepusher is" when it comes to my opinion.

cant wait for the actual release, dark steering has the old squarepusher vibe at least, less polished than recent releases, at least thats what i am hearing.

I'm not sure I can think of anyone that can engineer as well as him. It'd be like putting expensive caviar on soda crackers..

edit: (in my opinion).

I still like you mr awe-owl =)

where are you guys hearing anything besides the 1 track?

the ufabulum subforum has a link to a song called energy wizard but it's low quality.

Yeah he should team up with somebody who can give him a modern sound - make it about half as fast, strip away any melody, bathe it in atmospheric noise, and add some pitched down witch house vocal samples. Then he can sell a limited edition for 200 bucks on boomkat.

I don't want to get caught up in the pre-release naysaying/yeasaying bullshitry

I respect you for your contribs Awe, but you can be the biggest naysayer and jumper to conclusions on this boad sometimes

+1 boad

3:55 starts some crotch-rocket sounds, reminds me of a racing game

I still like what I'm hearing on this better than anything previous to 2004. SP can still fuck up sound like a king.

and Awe, I like your owl avatar

Well this is more like it. I'm so ready to get my squares pushed this thursday it's not even funny

Thanks.

I found Dark Steering slightly annoying.

And it still feels like he's mostly given up on the complex drum programming that made people give a shit in the first place.

Maybe I'm being harsh.

I like dark steering. I do wish he'd steer clear of the overblown cheesy melodies though, and go for a more minimal/focused approach, but I guess that time has gone.

not at all... i've been waiting 16 odd years for something as complex and original as Feed Me Weird Things... Am I the only one who thinks Squarepusher theme is much much more exciting and interesting than anything on Go Plastic etc? Dark Steering sounds like Pendulum collaborating with Nero and Skrillex
