Product Description

From Amazon.com

A perpetual workaholic, Squarepusher (a.k.a. Tom Jenkinson) released three albums in rapid-fire succession in 1997. While his complex compositions stayed admirably fresh over each disc, by the end of the series it was evident that he had exhausted every trick in the abstract drum & bass book. On Music Is Rotted One Note, Squarepusher wisely expands his musical palette by sidestepping the conventions of electronic music. Relying primarily on minimalist jazz patterns and contemplative rhythms, he creates a low-key freeform soundtrack that is accented beautifully by electric guitars and moody bass lines. --Aidin Vaziri

Perhaps it was unexpected that one of the pioneering electronic music performers of the 1990s would produce a truly definitive post-rock album, but of course, Squarepusher has always been excitable. Tom Jenkinson's striking 1998 release bore more in common with Herbie Hancock's Headhunters than it did anything in his own catalog-- or, indeed, all of Warp's. The jazz fusion-informed bass figures on his previous albums only hinted at what must have been an extensive background in the genre, but this sound came to the fore on Music Is Rotted One Note, and did so with a vengeance. "Chunks" bursts out of the gate like a funky jungle cat, sounding like something ripped off the cutting room floor of Miles Davis' On the Corner sessions. "Don't Go Plastic" dropped the hyperspeed drums (also courtesy of Jenkinson) and vintage Fender Rhodes piano, applying extremely subtle electronic manipulations. One of the most obvious accomplishments of the record was its success in updating a model long since to have been perfected. However, it's the dark, hazy mood Squarepusher sustains that gives the album life.

Something happened a few years ago, when techno artists wanted to make more album length type music. Some music is for the dancefloor, but has disco ever been taken seriously? I can't think of listening to Aqua between Pink Floyd and Steely Dan, and somehow thinking of its merits. There is a place for cheesy disco, and rightly it's not for the progressive or the gentle couch dwellers. Squarepusher has gotten more and more unlistenable to those who have grooved to the likes of Joey Beltram or Paul Van Dyk. But for those who have Jaco Pastorius deficit, who wondered what happened to Bill Nelson, have come to love Squarepusher. Even those who are open to these fast beats, probably would be stretched to tell the difference between this and Aphex Twin. If Squarepusher seems too much of a prog rocker, maybe you would like the more purist Autechre. Their landscape is cold and devoid of humanity, and they make Kraftwerk look like a barrel of laughs. Autechre is the sound of machines falling apart, while Squarepusher is like an Ornette Coleman with a Roland 808.
