[esldave]

when it starts he's like some cheap karaoke gag ... but later he shows us he can sing

[HoffmansACID]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmm tom the sexy beast

[jolandasterbloem]

fantastic

[Jorickhoofd]

sweet solo, I love the technique he uses, haven't spotted it anywhere else...

[aJazzcat]

it looks like a larry graham style slap, although he throws some nice double-thumbing in there, as well

[Stabacs]

It´s voctor wooten style, isn´t it? :D

[braquemar]

Don't worry about the style.

[apellmusic]

The effect is a Digitech Whammy pedal. Tom Morello of RATM and Doug Wimbush of Living Colour use them a lot too.

Most electronic music is pretty dull to me too but I like how Squarepusher brings a high level of musicianship to the genre. He inspired me to create my own form of electronica incorporating "real" instruments. Though I did see him in Melbourne years ago and was disappointed as there was no bass playing and just painful industrial noises for over 2 hours.

[kdarr]

I don't think it's a Whammy pedal. Sounds more like a ring modulator or some sort of granular processing.

[euanobm99]

those effects at the end are mental

[JamieBarnes11]

I love squarepusher but this is a bad song

[whatshendrix]

One small remark - Squarepusher doesn't write "songs"...

[whatshendrix]

A song is a musical piece that has singing in it. These are musical pieces with no singing, so they are considered to be tracks or simply - pieces.

[whatshendrix]

Nah I was just nitpicking ^^

I couldn't care less if you knew the right term or not...

[wal2ban]

yeah amn but the melody is like the singing u know it speaks to you

[whatshendrix]

Well I guess that's the shallowest way of putting it...

And come to think of it - stuff like that matters. Think of how many words are used incorrectly and then imagine how much more subjective and complicated our (social) world becomes because of small things like that.

[altancouvert]

from 2:59 onwards: pure genius.

[peevesrupps]

i'm not a big fan of electronic music, but he has true talent.

[dookiebl]

its so dance-able

[pottsq]

wish everyone could grow a brain so radio 1 uk would start playing good music

[junazero]

show off

[stillphil]

better than him being locked away in a room where we can't hear him. LoL

[klimatix]

I've seen him live and it's one of the best gigs i've ever been to! the man is a genius.

[hastarasta]

the proof:

electro = skill ^^

[alebernis]
