Be Up A Hello [2020]

Let's face it, some of the melodies are gay as fuck (no homopho)

Squarepusher has always been known for his gender non-binary polyamorous pansexual melodies. But I think it fully took over with Just A Souvenir. Something a little hokey got into him around then. 

Anyone else feeling that this LP has tracks that, compared to the last few albums, have the   possibility-of-being-played-at-a-Aphex-Twin set?

I totally do... and its not just the fast-drums/melodies..... but that unmistakable braindance feels

Thats it!!! Eureka

"Big Up a Hello is Squarepushers first braindance output  in a very long time" - some online rag

Also, slowed down tracks are VERY Tussy!!

while they're all good, still think detroit people mover beats every other track on here. maybe i need to relisten to see if any grow on me??

This album is great.  My brain still doesn't know how to interpret the Vortrack rhythm.  Kick triplets?  Not quite.  Obique 4 on the floor?  Nope.  Where's the 1?  No idea anymore.  A groove emerges briefly towards the end, but perhaps it's only my imagination. Very interesting choice for the single, when everything else is so infectiously catchy.  Top melodies, top drum programming, top 8 bit bassing.  One of his most consistent albums by far.

start counting from the first kick and you'll notice it's just 4/4.

The open high hats at 4:30 reveal the 4/4-ness of it too

Speedcrank is such a mindblowing track, true pusher technical madness right here !

Vortrack's a-rhythmic vibes are lush.... imagine a live set of just that.... autechre much?

So my hacking continued today with a 33.3>45 speedup of "Vicsynth13 Test Track" and  "Ondula",  mixed together. Works a  treat

Same as how im making a kitchen island out of 2 IKEA presses

Vinyl finally made it.

It reminds me of The Exploding Psychology a lot in terms of how it starts as hip-hop and goes to Squarepusher mode.

This was the opening track for his two recent DJ sets.

I quite liking this album but the first track sounds like Black Parade.
