Love this music, I was into Squarepusher since the very early days in the 90s, saw him play live lots of times, in festivals and other venues. Also saw him DJ and play bass in clubs!! Fantastic!!
Well, that's nice but what does that have to do with Squarepusher. If you're implying this is dup-step in any way then you're sorely mistaken. Just dub w/ other Electronic shit. No step.
@adrenacrumb STFU I don't care what you say DUBSTEP RULES! It's my favourite genre of music ever and I don't care if you say mean things to me.... you sad little faggot
@Iamcola65 No, I meant this track is not dubstep in any way whatsoever so I don't know why you mentioned dubstep. This track was released about 5 years before dubstep was even a genre.
this is the track that got me into squarepusher... and although he has performed veritable miracles of sound.... THIS one is by far (for me) the one that pulls heart strings like no other..... beautiful... x
Even in FLAC and with a decent equalization system, I realized a couple years ago that this song is really subdued, muddy -- pointless. I stopped listening to it completely (but still had it). Tonight though, I turned on foobar's Noise Sharpening DSP; and it's as if it was made specifically for this song. Back in business!
WTF happened to WARP records after this (mainly post 98). Used to be modern, futurist and unlike anything else. Now they are securing a broader market by offering some watered down pop shit. Get those guitars out of my ears and hey Aphex/Pusher and the rest GO AND SPEAK TO MIKE PARADINAS
"I have always loved music that has both elements: melancholy and sadness as a description of the current situation you are in, but at the same time a hopeful, utopian element that reminds you of the possibility of a different life." -Ulrich Schnauss
His music always reminds me of modern Britain. Visit any British city -- preferably a Scottish city -- and sit on a bench listening to Squarepusher on a grey, chilly day. It's amazing how his music seems to describe Britain and its people without so much as a word.
@elsewhereify Nice comment. I know exactly what you mean by this. I love this song, and all these 90s Squarepusher tunes, for the same reason. Truly beautiful track.
Agreed. Portishead and Massive Attack are that way with Bristol. And hell, Squarepusher and everyone else on Warp are class acts... boards of cananada, aphex twin, autechre, flying lotus- loads more- it's all preium electronic and instrumental talent.

I see you partake in that peculiarly dangerous psychiatric disorder known as 'nationalism' as do your 27 mindless devotees. Although, this is an apparently benign expression of it. Go ahead, help yourself to the accomplishments of other people simply because you happen to have born in a particular locale. I used a little abductive reasoning to derive this conclusion but if you're being honest, you'll own up to it.
There is a difference between being proud of one's nation and, for instance, proclaiming it to be greater than any other country in the world. May I suggest you study the rise of German nationalism from 1815 onwards? May I suggest you then compare some of the remarks made by devoted German nationalists to mine?
In addition, I fail to see how I have 'helped myself to the accomplishments of other people simply because I happen to have been born into a particular locale'. If you had read my initial comment and understood it fully, you would realise that this is not the case. Perhaps, before you launch an eloquent but ultimately illogical counter-argument, you should consider your position. Nobody likes being made a fool of on the Internet; I'm sorry that I had to make you look a fool.
This song still speaks to me, all these years later. For me, this is what math must sound like. It's perfect in pitch, tone, and beat, yet has soul. Good music somehow stays relevant over time.
:) when I listend to this album for the fist time late 90's in my late teens I remember being totally blown away (I even cried).. I had the feeling being understood true music :) I think I listened to the album like everyday for a month onwards ;) listening to it now again..immediately warps(record) me back to the 90's to the mind on a teenager for whom life is so new, intense, deep, exiting.. it still gives me goosebumps..
@Rijogs Thanks for that comment. I'm pretty young and just discovering this amazing music now and it's like endless windows are opening up for me. All my art is improving, I'm even doing better in f*cking school. It's like there is this mystical nature to the music. It's so undeniably human yet it's made with machines. Anyhow,, thanks for the amazing comic from someone going through what you did.
Squarepusher is my favorite drum'n'bass artist. He independently embodies what it means to have soul: not just by exhibiting a funky rhythm but also exhibiting an open heart not afraid of musical transition. This song is so addictingly calm. Thank you for posting this!

I've been a fan of squarepusher for a nice few years now, but there is still so much of his music I have yet to hear. But the more I listen to him, and view his interviews, the more I think he's one of the most talented musicians around. He just makes amazing music!
@joncoish Same story here, I always keep finding new tracks he's made. Every time I think I've heard it all I'll find something new by him. I just discovered a single by him called "Hanningfield Window"
Most days I'm an atheist, but after experience beautiful creations like this, I just can't possibly accept the fact that we are all collections of dominant patterns of matter, randomly thrown into action. Everything in the universe is random, chaotic, and has no pattern... but when you look at us, it's insane how advanced the patterns are. The act of enjoying music is beyond the chances of near eternal measures.
@LIGHTRONIX how can you say there are no patterns in the universe, and then say the patterns are advanced- clearly everything follows patterns from earth to the solar system, then swirling galaxies and so on- music is the root of all these patterns, the blueprint of all existence, which is why we find it so entrancing. squarepusher gets closer to the origin of existence than anyone else.
@zepiego sorry I was totally plastered when I wrote that, what I was trying to say was where did all those patterns come from? There are very specific patterns that everything runs by, and I think it would take more than just trillions of years for dominant patterns to advance to the level we experience here on earth.
These are exactly my three favourite Squarepusher songs.
The other songs are great too, but these three have something really special about them!
What are your next three favourite ones? Mine are Bubble Life, Welcome to Europe and Planetarium or Coopers World, I can't decide which one I like better.
@LackingLack0 this makes me puke and sneeze and sweat and spit and cry and bleed and piss and shit and burp and cum and cough and laugh at the same time
I'm going to make a little tour of a couple of Squarepusher songs and see if we can figure out the breaks he's using.
For Beep Street? Tough one... I'm going to go with Kool & The Gang – NT. Pitch up NT and then approach it from the perspective of a jazz drummer. Arrange a sequence of rudiments. You should get a very familiar sound.
Warning: cutting the break itself is a bitch because of some dissonant noise during the "drum solo". Make sure you get a clean slice with some ghost notes.
Music is. You either understand that or you don't. Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote "When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you". Nowadays that might sound like intellectual poo, but it is a truism. When you leave a comment to this piece of art by Tom, just remember, you are leaving a comment about how you have interpreted this which show others how your brain works and not necessarily about what this music is (well, rarely actually).
does anyone understand how to write breakbeats or glitch drumming? I understand it's samples cut up at 1/64th, but what sequencer program are they using/effects...... Like at 1:03- 1:06 & 1:34- 1:38; how do you make the snare start out fast, then spread thin, then back together again. I'm using reason 4 for sequencing. I've been able to replicate it somewhat, but I have a feeling I'm doing it the wrong way. Help!!!! message me.
@BodyBraille If I'm not wrong, I think Jenkinson used a Yamaha Q7000 to sequence the drums on this track. If not, it's what he's been using for a while.
You'll find it difficult to do in Reason 4 without some crazy effects routing. Trackers like Renoise, Modplug and the like let you have crazy control over sample sequencing but they're hard to learn.
can you tell me if there are any other tracks from him that are like this one? calm and driving at the same time? i don't want to search on youtube for about 3 hours :D
@chillskid If you sum all three of them. I like autechre the most out of all three at this point in time - I liked squarepusher the most when I liked jazz and manual drum-programming the most. I like autechre the most for automated / generative things, and I like aphex twin only the most out of nostalgia as I heard him first. They're incomparable. And, u-ziq seems more versed in non-jazz compositional realms. royal astronomy was inspired by his live tour with bjork. they're incomparable.
@midinerd I just haven't found I squarepusher track that I like as much as tracks such as 444 by autechre, alberto balsalm by aphex and hasty boom alert by µ ziq. If you can recommend one that's perhaps more melodic I'd be interested. I think I tend to prefer songs what are more instrumental based than percussion. This song is pretty good though.

When you leave a comment to this piece of art by Tom, just remember, you are leaving a comment about how you have interpreted this which show others how your brain works and not necessarily about what this music is (well, rarely actually).
I love it, it's art at its best

does anyone understand how to write breakbeats or glitch drumming? I understand it's samples cut up at 1/64th, but what sequencer program are they using/effects...... Like at 1:03- 1:06 & 1:34- 1:38; how do you make the snare start out fast, then spread thin, then back together again. I'm using reason 4 for sequencing. I've been able to replicate it somewhat, but I have a feeling I'm doing it the wrong way. Help!!!! message me.

@BodyBraille sample and hold effects, no idea how to do it in reason, just use buzz tracker for effects, lol :p

@BodyBraille If I'm not wrong, I think Jenkinson used a Yamaha Q7000 to sequence the drums on this track. If not, it's what he's been using for a while.
You'll find it difficult to do in Reason 4 without some crazy effects routing. Trackers like Renoise, Modplug and the like let you have crazy control over sample sequencing but they're hard to learn.

Check out 'Port Rhombus' . Similar vibe to beep street, equally amazing tune.

Okay I just heard "Do you know Squarepusher" and I take back everything i've said. I'd put him at the top with AFX, Autechre and Mike Paradinas.

Autechre+Aphex+ u ziq = way better than squarepusher.
chillskid 1 year ago
@chillskid If you sum all three of them. I like autechre the most out of all three at this point in time - I liked squarepusher the most when I liked jazz and manual drum-programming the most. I like autechre the most for automated / generative things, and I like aphex twin only the most out of nostalgia as I heard him first. They're incomparable. And, u-ziq seems more versed in non-jazz compositional realms. royal astronomy was inspired by his live tour with bjork. they're incomparable.

@midinerd I just haven't found I squarepusher track that I like as much as tracks such as 444 by autechre, alberto balsalm by aphex and hasty boom alert by µ ziq. If you can recommend one that's perhaps more melodic I'd be interested. I think I tend to prefer songs what are more instrumental based than percussion. This song is pretty good though.

@KaunisRoheline23 Wow thanks for that recommendation. That's definitely the best song I've heard by Squarepusher yet.
