‘Damogen Furies’ will be released via Warp Records 20 April. Download ‘Rayc Fire 2’ at squarepusher.net

I still listen to this fairly often 4 (!!!!) years later

One thing I've noticed is this and ufab seemed to get a fair amount of hate, while some of his peers (like Clark etc) releasing around the same time were getting high praise.

I guess what I'm saying is his recent output is not my favorite of his but when compared to some of the other stuff coming out around the same time - they hardly seem comparable.

How can people prefer Death Pig to this album for example?

I'd also love to see a shobaleader album with original material with that current line-up....

i would like that 2, saw em live and it was awesome

^ I really wanted to go - could have flown to the states (I think Seattle or Portland maybe?) but I missed out. Bummer.

saw them twice. the first time was in Islington where some of the tracks for the album was recorded (E8 Boogie for example). 

so fucking good.

Still the best time I’ve had listening to this album was the DFN set.

That set really scratched the IDM itch for that weekend. The visuals were awesome, too.

I absolutely love this album. Baltang Ort is my favourite on here. In fact it's one of my favourite tracks of his. Stunning  

I totally glazed over DF and Ufabulum.  I keep forgetting that there were two albums released in that time.  It's my own shortcoming and I'm working on it.  Sorry Tom.  Pretty sure they were both excellent and I just didn't give them their fair due.  I'll be sure to give recent SP output more listening time in 2020.

Go off, King.

I honestly think that there is a lot of this that is ported over to the new stuff in terms of drum programming and sound design so i am struggling to understand the hate for DF but love for this new stuff from so many on here.

yup, I totally agree. In terms of the structure and programming there's a lot of DF in the new one, in terms of the melodic/harmonic/tonal aspects it's more like his 90s stuff, Big Loada in particular (which is not surprising as it's mostly the same gear).

I used to be a massive fan of Squarepusher up until Hello Everything, then went off him a little until Ufabulum. 5:39 on Dark Steering still gives me goosebumps!!

Including. Love that album. Didn't make that clear. Sorry. 

Though it is a patchy album and the cover is a bit iffy (hey I'm reelaxing in a pink shirt, casually playing various instruments)

Planetarium is one of his best tracks OF ALL TIME

I'll savagely snip your nutsack off with a pair of rusty garden sheers and nail it to Beaconsfield church door tonight if you think otherwise!!!

Praise The Lord

Love hello everythings cover, gotta work 10 faders on that mixer!

Damogen cover on the other hand is a bit tryhard, looks like the designer just discovered photoshop

The cover of Hello Everything - on a nice dose of [hallucinogen], the hands play the instruments right in front of you. V Snares Calvacade of Glee album has a similar effect, the cow machine parts all moving. 

Good times.
