Product Description

Album Description

Go Plastic is the record that folks have been waiting for...a more agro, technologically oriented outing. The incredibly catchy leadoff single, My Red Hot Car is revisited in a mind-bending 2-step workout, Lee Scratch Perry style. Dub and drum 'n' bass elements weigh in heavy on this release. Breaks rush at the speed of light tethered by some of Squarepusher's moodiest, melodic work. 10 tracks. 2001 release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, Mar 8 2004

'Go Plastic' is, in my opinion, one of the best albums of all time. If you've heard 'My Red Hot Car', and want the rest of the album to sound like it, i suggest you buy an N*Sync CD, take some sandpaper to it, and have it skip away. For those who want soft, synthy Aphex music with simple looped beats, don't bother either. This album is where the real genius lies - Squarepusher's deconstruction of old-school ragga d'n'b and his tightly controlled focus on disrupting musical convention are absolutely groundbreaking. There's no one in any field of music that can compete with the intricacy of this programming.

Aggresive, intelligent, and complex enough for months of nonstop listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars my new favorite Squarepusher album, Mar 4 2004

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Go Plastic (Audio CD)

Lately, Squarepusher has been outdoing himself with every release (with the exception of Do You Know Squarepusher? - a hit-and-miss EP). This is my new favorite album of his. He is the only electronic artists who can stimulate my mind as much as some of the best jazz musicians. True to jazz, most of this album's drum tracks never repeat themselves - and at the frenetic jungle-like pace he sometimes achieves, I can only wonder how much time and effort must have gone into it (and that's just the drum tracks! Influenced, I'm sure, by hearing his dad play).

Squarepusher often utilizes effects and modulates the sounds he uses as much as the notes themselves as an output for his musical genious (with just as much spontenaity, intelligence, and creativity), taking his art to the next level. Even though I'm playing this album for the 30th-40th time, I still hear something new with every listen. He really takes advantage of the electronic music production environment and crafts his work to perfection.

A few of the tracks don't stand incredibly well on their own (this is no pop album), but they fit beautifully into the whole of the work. This is truly an album - when I listen to it I listen from beginning to end (with the exception of My Red Hot Car, which is a good way to introduce friends to the crazy world of Squarepusher).

If you like Squarepusher for his jungle-jazz side, this is the epitome of his greatest work - the fusion of his earlier head-nodding hardcore and drum-n-bass with his later adventures in spaced-out-acid-jazz and avant-garde synthesizerings. It is hard for me to write a review of this man's work with out using a bunch of hyphenated or made-up words, because there is no genre - no generic name - for the music. It is Squarepusher.

Tom Jenkinson (squarepusher) has really made a work of art here. The first track 'driving in my redhot car' is truely amazing. I would recomend this album to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!
I have most of the Squarepusher Records. On Go Plastic for me, he plays hard and with more precision than on any of his other Drum & Bass jazzy record. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Postively Maddening(Yes, that's a good thing).
Tom Jenkinson's music is so amazingly uneven that everytime I think I about buying one of his albums I really have to think about what I'm getting into. Read more
