Squarepusher - Zounds Perspex

[WiggyWittgenstein]

5 people are getting pushed.

[carbuncleflames]

@WiggyWittgenstein More like 5 people decided to have a different opinion.

[GazpachoDude]

Reminds me vaguely of Mario Kart music...but someone must have eaten way too many mushrooms...

[leafmould101]

Jesus, why does every vaguely electronic sounding vid have to be flooded with comments about dubstep? This is Squarepusher - widely recognized as one of the most innovative and talented musicians of our time. Dubstep is a movement - one that has nothing, or very little to do with Squarepusher. So please, get over it and go listen to some dubstep, or shut up and enjoy the sounds of the almighty 'Pusher!

[clearviewmind]

Music done badly. The dudes gotta get a day job. Probably has. Must have!

[PantherFox]

@clearviewmind

Pretty sure your mind is about clear as what comes out of my ass twice a day. Dis music is bad, dubstep is tru art hurr

[clearviewmind]

@PantherFox I love dubstep, but there's dubstep and theres shitstep. Unfortunately, most of which is shitstep.

[carbuncleflames]

@PantherFox I'm not much of a Squarepusher fan either but Goodnight Jade is a great track.

[Kostly]

What is your perspex on the subject?

[666DropTheBass]

theres oh so many things happening in one still frame. get on my level.

[PO3TRYFL0W]

Chill bitchnigger; chill beastnigger.

[OmegaKid1972]

Best track of NL, hands down. So sexy...

[everynickistaken1]

the menu screen to grand turismo you say

[EmbodiedDespair]

This stuff is pretty cool. With all the flashbulb comparisons I've heard, I expected more melodies! I don't get the comparisons between the two, honestly. *goes to check out more squarepusher*

[ChuChusChannel]

@EmbodiedDespair I'd say it's because The Flashbulb uses a guitar with his stuff, and Squarepusher uses a bass guitar. Also that they're both doing fast breakbeat stuff.

You should check out Squarepusher's tracks "Planetarium" and "I Wish You Could Talk", they're two of my favorite tracks from him.

[EmbodiedDespair]

@ChuChusChannel That's true, but I hear two totally different sounds from them. Square is much funkier and Flash uses more melodies. I can see how people would group that together. Both awesome musicians, though!

[EmbodiedDespair]

@ChuChusChannel Oh yeah, those tracks were pretty bad ass.

[Gabrielle1131]

naww, pendulum is way better!

[TheMushroomsAreHere]

@Gabrielle1131

your a fucktard

[Gabrielle1131]

@TheMushroomsAreHere oh dear come one, this crap :/ seriously??......

[TheMushroomsAreHere]

@Gabrielle1131

if you dont like, move along, nothing to see here.

In taste there is no argument.

[Gabrielle1131]

@TheMushroomsAreHere If you want me to move on...stop replying..?

[Adolfmacaque]

banging tune

[25gumballs]

I learned about Squarepusher from a SKRILLEX INTERVIEW!!! :DD

[iamkaner]

1 dislike. Obviously he got lost in the internet... poor soul. Go back to listening to Calvin Harris.

[DeadMansFilm]

@Tuatara8081 Then you should turn it down...

[pchumbod]

surprisingly i find this music more interesting at mid volume instead of listening to it loud

[MrJas1991]

@pchumbod

lmao me too

[hasnoku]

@pchumbod It just sounds kind of cluttered and awkward when listened to loud, I had to low it down so my neighbors didn't think I was some emotionless robot re-patterning my brain waves or something.

[flytacos]

ok, who's the bitch that disliked this??>:(

[Nuthane]

@flytacos me, whatre you going to do about it?

[perfectchaoslemon]

@flytacos There's 4 now, and they were Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Black-eyed Peas.

[padperson]

@flytacos

Just enjoy the song lowlife

[GLuGGycOw]

In Soviet Russia squares push you!

[PO3TRYFL0W]

@GLuGGycOw what do you mean?

[GLuGGycOw]

@PO3TRYFL0W trolling....or??

[BrothersCinco]

Porchse Challenge '11 music

[cbmuzik]

I downloaded this album last night. I'm on my 5th time hearing it all the way through. Good stuff!

[noirtriptyline]

Reminds me of Jean Luc Ponty "In the Fast Lane" >) Awesome shit!

[woopetywoopwoop]

@noirtriptyline Thought i'de go check out what that was. I was not dissapointed my friend.

[abluecrayon]

smells funky

[fourtywpm]

Kinda reminds me of some of his brother's stuff, that's cool

[caraddction]

its like ridge racer and gran turismo menu song fused together

[skulleton]

Reminds me of Amuck by Low Res

[Pendor42]

needs some old school gameplay for the vid

[contagion88]

How could you hate Gran Turismo. Classic.

[YewLogs026]

this reminds me of pilotwings.

[moxamike]

Even if you aren't too fussed with some of his music at the time of release, it's because you are not ready to receive it. Come back to it at a later date and you will surely see just how awesome this guy is. Every single track he has ever released is a work of genius.

[kadrab]

This is TIMELESS!

[MimiCat89]

i love it! great great!

[LIGHTRONIX]

This has the vibe of any car racing game I've ever played. Even mario cart feels like this on the menu screens.

[DRCification]

@LIGHTRONIX DUDE U R SO RIGHT

[Quakmaor]

this is totally ridge racer

[nonposs1]

Squarepusher is GOD!

[balist0]

@nonposs1 True story

[schranza100]

cool! A bit like Dorian concept

[neomix21]

Ridge Racer Type 4

[ghostinamichelle]

real 90's sound

[mradamcooley]

streets of rage 2.. yuzo koshirocore.. great song

[Kaginokstaka]

after 1:50 it reminds me of starfox "fortuna"

[LIGHTRONIX]

@Kaginokstaka yes this album reeks of starfox, also animal crossing on star time 1.

[wattapassa]

this sounds like CJ bolland meets the nintendo

[Autoctonal]

nice

[Xerorph]

this reminds me of streets of fury on sega genesis....bad ass shit

[PhotoCrimeX]

N64 music! :)

If your into this, check out the Bomberman soundtrack for N64, it's pretty similar

[d3p3ch3mod3]

he sounds a lot like orbital on this track.

[darkblitzrz8]

listen to that ...break at 2:30 .. any body know specs on wat stuff he uses ... like the synths and or effects ... etc .. im sort of a beat maker...

[xkeeler666]

If you guys like this you should listen to his brother Ceephax

[TerentiaWillsomethin]

THIS IS SEXY

[lastmarine]

streets of rage man. The Pusher has been at that Megadrive

[mementocemento]

future jazz , miles davis cud love it

[ihatelumberjacks]

oh wow streets of rage music toms gone retro gaming soundscapes

[MrAprilsmay]

Ooh porn!

[mnkyball]

squarepusher live is fucking INSANE.

[LIGHTRONIX]

@mnkyball dude I really want to go to one of his shows some day, I hate living in america there's no good music around...

[sleeperkickers]

@LIGHTRONIX what about venetian snares, he's canadian, plays in the US all the time. i also saw autechre in chicago two years ago, just gotta watch the websites. Aphex Twin is the real elusive one...

[SpineTunes]

Y'know, I have still yet to buy Numbers Lucent but Just a Souvenir is quality. Different from his other works but still amazing.

[Brom24]

very dancey, i like ;P

[wronkth]

I'll never understand how spuarepusher can make videogame music with soul... So electric and synthy, yet so funky...

[DJDJSMusic]

Great Beat

[Psyraq]

It sounds sorta, egyptian, lol.

[rgawer2]

wut?

[MagnitudePerson]

@Psyraq Agreed... lol...

[codomis]

how do you know what egyptian sounds like?

[keepyourlovesafe]

I think he is referring to the part at 1:17 which sounds like a sitar.

[Psyraq]

Well, I'm arab to begin with, and I speak a little egyptian arabic.

A.K.A Masri.

[2000gorillas]

no, but this music makes me wanna play sonic

[Saxyman14]

Are you sure this song wasn't in Sonic the Hedgehog?

[tuscany7]

it reminds me of the old days. The underground before the raves.

[IndigoMindset]

This song is great to listen to while skiing.

[epiCnIGraRiNSeOUt]

This song is great to listen to while playing skifree

[gatheringleaves]

Used to love that game

Never was able to beat it though

[Jmsn72]

Scorching track for sure.Squarepusher is genius

[jofa117]

you have to be pretty smart to compose music like this

[mrandy]

Really reminds me of Dreamin' by Les Rhythmes Digitales

[Saxyman14]

I think you have it backwards. Composing music would make it possible for them to be considered smart.

[jofa117]

no. for a composition of this complexity and rhythm to come from the mind of an individual, it is definately a sign of great intellect

[Saxyman14]

But if he never wrote anything, you wouldn't know. It's a continuous loop, so let's just end it there.

[mrmattw95]

It really isn't very complex. It's good, but it's not complex whatsoever.

[mushr00mhelmet]

@mrmattw95

its just an irregular rhythm..really.

[Ursulocrow]

@mrmattw95 who cares about complexity, just enjoy

[i80kid]

city music.

[mrguga15]

this sound like it should be in Gran Turismo .....AWESOME!!

[alna1287]

hahahahahahaha wow I laughed out loud on that one.

[NGineMusic]

@mrguga15 gran turismo 2 was first thing that i was wondering about when i heard this but squarepusher rulez

[TheboiwhocouldfLY]

@mrguga15 I HATED THAT GAME. BUT YR RITE.

[skutratufahija]

@mrguga15 use of rhodes organ :) i must agree with you

[TEAMxACIDx]

@mrguga15 Reminds me of GT2's car store music.

[cloudparter]

@mrguga15 More like Pilotwings lol...

[MrEp5]

@mrguga15 :D That or Namco's Ridge racer! ^^



[BREEOzzi]

This reminds me of Streets of Rage, fucking awesome :)

[SexBadRage]

yeah, but the song called Paradise Garage really is how the street of rage 2 ^^. This song remind me other game, called Phantasy Star online for sega Dreamcast hehehe

[mrguga15]

sound like a song from a car game

[LeGronk]

If Tom has got so many listeners who feel some of his material is excellent and some is so-so, that means he's doing things exactly right by not pandering to anyone entirely. His approach is solid.

[hobofriend70]

YES! I'd much rather have an artist who explored different styles and approaches to music rather than just putting out the same sounding material all the time.

[ProjectSmammi]

@LeGronk Fucking agreed. Fans can honestly be such tempermental whiny bitches when their favorite artist changes their shit up a bit. I commend every artist who completely switches up their style without degrading the overall quality of their music. New Squarepusher may not be the same as old Squarepusher, but the production value is none the less top notch if you can dig the feel. I think it's funky shit,

[miamiwax]

@LeGronk that's true. u should never aim to please everybody with ur music.. you can tell he makes his music without regard for fan appeal. if he did everything would still sound like hard normal daddy.

[WaffleCaress]

@LeGronk huh? So if I think Kenny Loggins sucks but my grandma thinks he's the bees knees its all part of his master plan? Cant people enjoy music they like without coming up with cosmically ridiculous reasons as to why material some people dont care for is actually done that way on purpose for fear of people liking his music too much in general?!! And all those thumbs up? Seriously? Sorry, I need to go finish my report on why Night Ranger is purposely awful so they dont conform to quality.

[250Yogi]

@WaffleCaress well, it would seem you missed the point of that comment entirely

[Waranoa]

Damn amazing synthesizer and drum tune! This EP is well worth the money, all six tracks are solid gold and the artwork is magnificent.

[JoeStephens78]

This is fantastic!. What type of music is this?.

[Waranoa]

Squarepusher was a raver and jazz-bassist. He's a genius. Half of what he's made is experimental shit not worthy of the name 'music' (ok ok ok, that's MY opinion) and the other half is synthesizers, bass guitars and drum samples turned into pure heavenly bliss!

[meu02136]

No you're right, you will get maybe 3 gems in a squarepusher album, with alot of dross thrown in. How he can make songs like exiton and accompany it with shit like the vacuum tracks is beyond me.

[vanvalldrey]

somehow I agree...some of his tunes simply are too spaced off for my taste.

[Waranoa]

Lol you guys giving me negative feedback are a bunch of jeaulous wannabe intellectuals who wished you made this post and are to lazy to actually comment on it/lack the cognitive ability. Gimme negative feedback I THRIVE ON IT!!! THUMBS DOWN THUMBS DOWN!!

[latestorder]

squarepusher gone old school or somethin, he's gone "sane" the music is surprisingly straightforward. what happened ?

[Waranoa]

This youtube version doesn't show it off, but the production on this entire record is amazing. He got all the sounds exactly right, and not all of the tracks are as straightforward as this. But when I hear the bass towering over those harmonizing, analog synths in this track, I feel overwhelmed.

[djmikedee]

It DOES sound like Bomberman Hero!! Awesome!

[whackiton]

Fucking fit!

Cheers for uploading this. Can i marry you?

[KOPH6969]

amazing pusher doing real RAVE!!, not the liam from prodigy

[robmcg10]

Shits allover him.

[ButterBricks]

I LOVE ACID SYNTH!!!

THAT BASS IS NUTS!

~Thats his 303 right ?

[uniformxii]

!!

Sounds like you were tossed into a vat of acid or something. 303 would be my guess :)

[djgiga]

I don't hear a 303. I hear an SH101 maybe. The 303 has a wha wha sound. Half the tracks by his brother ceephax acid crew uses it.

[djgiga]

I do know he has an oddity because he shows it in this doc on here.

[Waranoa]

I thought it was his bass guitar run through a synthesizer effect of some sorts. The pickup of the sound sounds like bass guitar to me.

[improja]

sounds like bomberman hero

fckg nice
