this album is great

It has some really great moments, but granted overall is not an album I would listen to on the reg. I really like some of the tracks. I definitely can't get into rayc fire 2 tho and probably never will.

Squarepusher more or less suffered the same fate as all those mid 90's atmospheric jungle/intelligent drum and bass artists.

any news regarding a new album ? love these guys

I think they're done :/ no news for ages and they both seem to have moved on.

Still brilliant, this. Album of the year.

it's my favorite squarepusher album.

Listening to it again just now. It's delectable. It's his best since Ultravisitor

I still play this album regularly and definitely see myself doing so in the future, which is more than I can say about Ufabulum

so yeah, still love this album, three thumbs up to sp

Finally realised that Rayc Fire works perfectly after flowing from the end portentious and spacious chords of Baltang Org. Fucker thought of everything.

Gave this a first full listen this week after putting it off for ages. Damn, I'm so freaking addicted! Kwang Bass had been a fave for a long while ever since hearing it on the radio but damn the highlights for me now are Baltang Org and Exjag Nives. Perfect Squarepusher IMO, catchy melodies and hooks, a brutal EDM/Industrial sound pallete and all the crazy drum programming that Tom has to offer. The ending of Baltang Org continues to blow my mind every time I put it on, so exhilarating. I agree he hasn't done anything this good since FMWT or Ultravisitor, this is defo a hit and a well timed one has I didn't really like Ufabulam and feared he wandered off on that dubstep-y 8 bit style direction for good. This is a complete album and a masterpiece at that, fucking Daddy is back. :))

I've read his latest interviews and it seems is on a "shredding sounds up" mood. I hope he continues like this and I wonder how his next album will sound like after Ufabulum and this one.

Kwang Bass.

kwang bass motorcycling through geometry live-only music video full audio-visual experience 10/10 most idm experience 2015 imo.

time for another spin on the turntable. still a really good album IMHO. I prefer the CD tracklisting, but this is a nice variation. D Frozent Aac at least works p good as an opener.

I've had both the cd and vinyl since release, yet to actually listen to the CD tho. I really dig the vinyl tracklisting. Just put it on the table myself.

Maybe one day I'll finally listen to the CD.

I really dig this album, but still need to give it some more listens. I played it a good 6-8 times around when it first came out (came out on 4.20 in the states IRRC) and haven't went back to it until today. I think it's neat the vinyl and cd t-listing is just reversed.

As far as Ufabulum goes, I actually enjoyed that album too. Might be because my first introduction to that material was when I was tripping acid at Movement Detroit in 2013 and saw him headline the second day. So when I hear those tracks I'm reminded of that experience. That was actually my first introduction to Squarepusher, like at all. And I heard that stuff and saw his Wall-O-Screens and that was that. I went home and rifled thru his discography. Of the CDs I have from him I was able to find used at local record shops I'd say Selection Sixteen is my favourite.

how different are the vinyl and the CD mastering btw? just curious about that, never got into the vinyl world (yet)

vinyl tracklist is pretty good but i think i prefer cd.

Stor Eiglass is a nice logical opener ( / Kwang Bass is a wicked track 2 tho).

i think my preference for the cd tracklist comes down more to the 2nd half of the album being stronger. not that tracks 1-4 of the CD are weak but i reckon they work better in building a momentum as opposed to sustaining it ??

from memory i don't remember vinyl mastering being light years ahead of cd .. about same ?

Exjag Nives is so good.

The mastering on that track bothers me immensely. It hurts my ears.

The rest of the album is properly mastered though.

I properly mastered yir mam last night.
