A "mini-album" by
Squarepusher on the
Nothing/
Warp label, released
1999.
Tom Jenkinson weed-whacks that bass on "Iambic 5 Poetry", it makes me shiver. Lots of different stuff, but with an overall
jazz feel. There's a lot of space between the layered scattery rhythms in most tracks, and not enough warm
pads to qualify it as
ambient. You can hear hints of
reverb everywhere.
Tracks:
- "Iambic 5 Poetry": incredible song, buy the album just for this one
- "Fly Street": very Richard D. James Album
- "The Tide": the soundtrack to a spy movie gone wrong
- "Splask": jazzy drums and stuttered melody layers
- "Two Bass Hit (dub)": two basses all over the place
- "Varkatope": fades in after some sinister fiddling into harsh rhythms
- "Gong Acid": chimes, drums, and metal things in mixed tempos
