Was Squarepusher best at Jungle?

Go plastic is my personal favorite, especially the tracks with a heavy amen break influence.

Go Plastic is the correct answer imo.

wasn't jungle mostly just skittering amen breaks with like seagull samples on top? Can't remember any sp exactly like that

first 5 seconds of Cum On My Selector

HND easily top 5 albums all-time for me. Beginning to end is masterful

Go Spastic ended jungle.

^ Yeah (pls don't kill me jefferoo) it's a real problem trying to appreciate classic jungle after first listening to Go Plastic and then going back in time. Everything seems so boring. You have to forcibly disconnect yourself from what you already know to enjoy it (and I do ftr).

Damn you Tommy J, you ruined jungle!

^^^ do you have that ?

I don't really like any of his non-jungle stuff tbh.

Stick with amen breaks, Tom.

It's essentially the Venus EP except it has a couple unreleased tracks plus the mixing sounds better imo.

thanks =)

I don't know... I have been revisiting the classic ol' jungle and nothing beats it imo. Sounds different from Go Plastic for me...

Is there anything out there like Go Plastic?

I reckons its pretty unique.........................the most off-kilterist, noisey yet coherent music ever created........ I especially love "My Fucking Sound".............Crazy.

PS..... Oval's re mix of Big Loada (I assume the entire EP was "ovalized".)..................comes pretty close

Interesting factiod, go plastic was the first IDM album I ever bought. I was very much into drum and bass at the time.

If so, thanks

If not, eat a dick salad, cock muncher.

Squarepusher's "jungle efforts" are more jazz to me. Like, jazz+jungle+rave+post-cyberpunk. Using "jungle" to describe Squarepusher is limiting, mang... The thing I used to LOOOOOVE about jungle was the amen pop, but due to filtering and bass, Squarepusher made the amen pop even harder than itself. From a pure EQ standpoint, Vibert's made the amen itself pop pretty hard, but he uses the amen as a main element, whereas Jenkinballz uses the amen as supplemental-main and tells a unique story in the process of usage. A lot of "jungle" and amen-related musics are just telling the story of the amen itself (a prime example of this is Vibert's Drum 'N' Bass For Papa track, which I used to rock so hard in high school, but when it gets down to the nitty gritty, he is simply presenting the amen story without much narrative other than slight personal views on the amen matter).

Love Go Plastic. Either on my turntable, mp3 player or Panasonic cd juggernaut. It never dies, nor ever will.

All killer no filler and straight for the jugular!!!

:shuriken:

Fuck Yeah!!

Huh? Jungle? Perhaps he made awesome jungle because he didn't make any?

I'd like to see more jungle influenced tracks but not sure it will happen. Who knows?

Fucking hell, the Junglists had no chance! This is so beyond traditional jungle. IMO, anyway, I loved jungle/dnb, but it all just seemed boring after hearing FMWT and HND.

There was an interview a few years back with Tom talking about tracks that influenced him with youtube links to his chosen tracks. It was a good number of drum 'n bass, jungle tracks, but he said that a Vibert Plug track is what made him realize the potential of chopping up breaks non-traditionally. So I guess we can thank Vibert.

For squarepusher tracks this is certainly not a standout to me, so the answer is no.

O, and btw, is this about sqpusher being best at making jungle compared to the rest of the world? Or compared to his other styles (read: his jungle style is the preferred style)? He hardly made any jungle, imo.

I like his jazz fusion style best. enywaaayzzz

Go plastic was the peak for me. But hey, he was also best at speed metal... I love Steinbolt.
