Whether you are talking about the near chaotic blerps and schbleps of 'North Circular', or the cool, almost classical guitar feel of 'Squarepusher Theme', or the unrelenting killer melody that frames a drum frenzy on 'Theme From Ernest Borgnine' - those beats are mad. Tom Jenkinson is the human/ghost in the machine. The downside is getting a machine to recreate the nuance of human spontenaity would take someone who was willing to put in untold hours, secluding himself from the world in order to create process his music until it is just so going drum stroke by drum stroke with everything programmed and perfect. Squarepusher comes along and thinks, 'Those beats can be just as loud and driving, but they don't have to be the same over and over again.' That fits with what a jazz drummer does with a rhythm play around it and let it swing and it can keep the beat without repeating. In earlier electronic music, the driving drum beats were loops which freed up the DJ/producer/musician/rapper to layer on his or her own, without the need of a live drum set.Īlso, the mechanical sound of the drum machine served as an anchor, thudding away in a constant beat - louder, really, than any other part of the music. What this record firmly establishes is the painstaking and meticulous approach to rhythm and percussion that was not previously present in electronic music.
FEED ME WEIRD THINGS SQUAREPUSHER RAR DOWNLOAD FULL
Yes, this is a 'long player', a full length record, as opposed to being a vinyl 12-inch stuffed into an anonymous white sleeve - DJ style. It took the traditional idea of jazz and jazz fusion instrumentals from the 60's and 70's and connected it to rave and dance music in almost the exact same way rap and hip-hop connected to funk and r'n'b from the same era.įeed Me Wierd Things retains fewer of the traditional elements. There are certain defining records in any genre, records that achieve the nexus of (a) unique creativity, (b) broad appeal in their time, and (c) lasting impact on other music. Stop playing with your computer or phone. I think it's super crazy that this seminal work by one of the most influential artists of the past 25 years is simply unavailable to purchase and to download.
I actually torrented a full discography of Squarepusher, simply to discard all of it to just have the Feed Me Weird Things. I always say the same thing about that record: If you don't have it, stop what you are doing and go get it. This was not the first Squarepusher record I got my hands on.
