Squarepusher's 1998 drum'n'bass album is actually closer to jazz/fusion than to anything Aphex Twin makes. Drum'n'bass in this case means precisely that - the bass and the drums are live and are played by Tom Jenkinson himself. The result is am amazing, dirty-sounding record that evokes the spirits of both jazz and electronica without actually being either. Miles Davis, this one's for you.
