Squarepusher: Shobaleader One - Cryptic Motion

[shiman6d]

God, you people sound like a bunch of snobs. This guy, like Aphex, put out whatever they want whenever they want. They dont care about the fan base. Also, remember this isnt entirely Squarepusher. This is Shobaleader One. A collaboration album. But who cares. I still listen to it because it's good music.

[WhiteRabbitSan]

i cant find this song to download anywhere

[munkytron]

this track reminds me of an awesome sega genesis game called 'toe jam and earl' had great music

[ibanezgeorge]

@munkytron wow dude. That game is a fucking classic. My bro played it all the time.

[gtmattz]

This is not what I would have expected from Squarepusher, but damn, I like it!

[DJThemad]

I would pay one hundred dollars for this song if i had to

[commonpleases]

flashbulb, anyone

[BigMacTracks]

I love Mr. Flashbulb but what's the correlation?

[indvs3]

even though it doesn't feel new to me, this, it seems like he's still pushing the envelope of his usual instrumentation and effectuation. it still feels like it has a fresh vinagre of pure funky harmony poured over it =)

[WolfThane]

What have you done, Squarepusher? You used to be cool.

[vervth]

Just... yes.

[andrecuri]

damn!!

[afxjsn]

This is just ok...'Go Plastic' is his finest work the whole album is genius! but this album aint great lets be honest. he's still a legend in my eyes but i cant help thinking he's lost his edge abit...maybe its an age thing

[craigmazzali]

@afxjsn

I think Go plastic was a big "show-off" album. for him personally. I love that album too. I think here. He is maybe more just enjoying new things? not worrying so much about impressing? all his other albums have a lot of work put into it too and are just as fierce as Go plastic. These albums you could definetly hear and not be able to guess that Tom is in there.

[Ursulocrow]

@craigmazzali WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDD

[OsoTudsborg]

@craigmazzalii yeah but still...if you heard it you would go like "do you know squarepusher?"

[afxjsn]

Cant beat 'Go Plastic'....this is just alright. He is still a legend in my eyes but i cant help thinking he's loosing his edge abit...maybe its an age thing

[LIGHTRONIX]

0:45 remind anyone else of the 2D metroid games? ..FONKAY!!

[Hobbyist56]

nice and funky! i like this new approach

[Bjouesbijou]

@Hobbyist56 ain't nothin' new about Squarepusher doing funk music 

[MailSivad]

This is about 100 years ahead of its time

[milkygear]

@MailSivad what the fuck? no it isnt. its nothing revolutionary, its just going with shit like mr. oizo did ages ago

[MailSivad]

@milkygear Right.. so then so was he...

[funkempfang]

@milkygear Well he did very revolutionary things on the ''GO PLASTIC'' album!!!

that was the time actualy when you first had to make a cassette copy to hear it in your car!!

For me he is quite a Genius along with Aphex Twin and not forget mr. Zappa!!!

[Bjouesbijou]

@MailSivad he was a hundred years ahead of time 100 years ago .. lol

[funkempfang]

@MailSivad hey man how old r u?

how about the ''Go Plastic Album''

I mean how many years ago came it out? That was in my opinion far ahead of it's Time....But nevertheless ............very good music indeed!!!!

[simonculp]

@MailSivad Not really. Kinda sounds like Herbie Hancock and Weather Report from the late 70's (who I'm sure are major influences) but slightly less cheesy, and no horns. This is totally contemoporary. That "jazz" from the 70's era... now much of that is ahead of it's time, by about 40 years.

[xXChaozLordXx]

i love squarepusher, and this song is great.

[tumblklaat]

sounds like nickelodeon

[p00k4kk3]

Fucking awesome.

[funknotik]

Why can't he just remake go plastic 1 million times!!!

[booster330]

i want the album. i need the album

[afxtwin1337]

Sounds alraight but a little boring. Realese this Acid track u played at warp20 which everyone thought it belonged 2 afx

[petercamenzind]

i cant believe Squarepusher isnt making music that suits me....how dare he....just who does he think he is.....its all about me...me me me meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee

[petercamenzind]

absolute love it....brilliant

[StonedFetus]

4:11 , this part is dope! the chord prog. is so pusherrrrr

[jacksin3]

@StonedFetus so true was gonna comment on that too. its sweet hes now working it as a band.

[1idm]

i think it goes beyond idm, which is great :)

[Broyale26]

This some good dick shakin' music right here!

[Bernardthecheesecake]

@Broyale26 just what i was thinkin actually.....

[djgiga]

I don't see why everyone is so surprised Squarepusher has always had this style like dont go plastic. Although ya not my favorite always.

[kurtchircop]

squareman from the ol;d days great and influenced a lot of artists... one of my favourite ever  tracks is his wish you could talk...makes me orgasm

but i like his last albums.... shows his true skill at bass playing...

i think the ability to manage to do alot of styles in music is wonderful and makes me eager what he will put out next :)

[ProjectSmammi]

@kurtchircop I completely agree with you, people get too fussy when their favorite artist starts to experiment. I love it when he just goes and pulls something completely different than he's done before. This shit's funky.

[csheaff]

Very satisfying.

[puhatek]

the music on planet moocob.

[Heliosphan15]

people who complain about an artist they love NOT doing what they did over a decade ago, are not fans at all.

[betaultragroove]

@Heliosphan15 well, probably because they don't know what's on the mind of the artist and the artist also don't give fuck about the opinion of their fans and for me the artist is the first and the last critic of his own work!!! i love Squarepusher

[LimpBizkitFan4Lyf]

@Danaelious How do you know Ed Banger didn't ask him to make a track for their label?

[exerhlp]

this tune really sucks. i've been listening and adoring squarepusher's music since 1996, but it seems that i have to reconsider this.

pitty, i loved his music so much..

but this is really not my music..

[amart7]

@exerhlp That's fine. Squarepusher doesn't make music for you.

[exerhlp]

@amart7 lol!! maybe he really doesn't care if people like me would pay for it or not, right? :)

[julianbinder1]

wow so sick

great new addition to ed banger

[XTRMJZZTRRR]

BOYO TUNE!!!! Can see why he's gone with Ed Banger for this one, in a way. Sounds fffffffressssh!

[JW14234]

This is Funky!...i love it!

Lets groove bitches!

[ColonelForkEyes]

I'm actually quite surprised I find I prefer the Mr Oizo mix over the original even if it is a bit raucous. Original's not bad but it doesn't make me jizz in my pants like his older stuff...

[populvuh02]

this song is damn funky, i actually really like it

[burnsdc]

quality english funk

[JollyJunkie]

Wtf?

I'm a big Squarepusher fan, but I can't seem to like this.

[bosserbee]

@JollyJunkie artists need to evolve

[ProjectSmammi]

You people can bitch and bitch because it's not skittery, fast-tempo breakbeat music, but hasn't he done his fair share of that already? This track is laid back, but it's funky as hell and I love the retro sound he always keeps with his synths.

[LimpBizkitFan4Lyf]

squarepusher seems to be using shitty samples, bad mixing and terrible sound design in his recent stuff

this has no ambience at all, which is something he knows how to create better than anyone else. maybe he's following some spergy rules about doing the opposite of what he used to do or something...

I don't know if it's to be different or to piss people off, but he should really use compressors and reverb again.

[mancubus22]

@LimpBizkitFan4Lyf You're a moron. His newest stuff is some of the best produced electronic music IMO

[LimpBizkitFan4Lyf]

@mancubus22 Numbers Lucent was pretty good I admit, but other than that not really

[mannotaurable]

@LimpBizkitFan4Lyf do you really he think he didnt use reverb or compressing on the album. Im not kiddin when i say eveything is compressed you hear over most of our mediums here.

This is song is plain sick and i thought the radio version was good. This one has goes on and gives me the same chills tunes like first hearing tundra or whatever

[LimpBizkitFan4Lyf]

@mannotaurable You're comparing this to Tundra? What the fuck? This is just him trying his best not to be pressured into making something good for ed banger and "having a laugh" instead of putting any effort in.

[stethoscanomaly]

@mancubus22 hahaha! you must not listen to any electronic music... try autechre, aphex, alva not, old squarepusher, BOC, edIT... really anything but this

[mancubus22]

@stethoscanomaly are you confusing production value with genre? Yeh this isn't the crazy breakbeat stuff that made squarepusher famous, but the production value is still very good.

[stethoscanomaly]

@mancubus22 oh, i thought you were using 'produced' as a synonym for 'made', not as a reference to production value.

[VincentsVideoVisions]

This isn't nearly as good as I was hoping for.

[JW14234]

This Shit is Fucking SEX!!!! fuck yea!!!

[Cinefixia]

this is the shit!! a big step in electronic music.

[stethoscanomaly]

@Cinefixia haha um yeah right. listen to squarepusher from 90s- early 2000s, its lightyears ahead of this boring dance stuff. this could have been produced in the 70s. Oh how i remember the days when squarepusher was good: Go Plastic!, exploding psychology, greenways trajectory... this just sounds like some tired daft punk imitation. what a shame

[Cinefixia]

@stethoscanomaly yeah,yeah i had been a big fan of squarepusher since his early years, the thing is that i find this song extremely sweet, its true that the voice is quite boring or very similar to kavinsky's night call style. but the instrumental, in my opinion, is just sublime.
