Squarepusher, Lowlands 2009, The Netherlands

[NookRecords]

I wish he would just play with a fucking band already. They brought transformers back - lets get weather report back too.

[keroine9]

Is there a studio version of this song?

[telecomboring]

2:30 - That laptop had to be closed. It was important, so important he had to shout.

[skreampunk]

obviously this is the only guy who makes superb and modern acid wtihout using 303!

[LIGHTRONIX]

Bass lines are completely ignored in popular music. They are treated just like this necessity stepping stone that you gotta put in the song, and so then they always end up super lame and cliche. Finally an artist who puts so much focus into it, A LOT of focus.

[HappyGuyxlii]

@LIGHTRONIX You should hear Primus. :P

[OperationGeneside]

Not only can he own the bass but he is also a sequencing genius

[loopback69]

I really know nothing about bass playing and would really like to hear from a bass player a purely technical judgement.

Anyway it seems to me that more than the technique itself the bass playing is allowing a whole new level of expression for the man, truly amazing turn for Tom, astonishingly expressive and fine tuned live experience.

[indvs3]

@loopback69 i'm not a bass player myself, but a friend of mine who has played the bass for more than fifteen years told me after seeing SQPR live, that he will probably never reach that level...

[FlexBlur]

But if there are some "Squarepusher lessons" someday, and if I'm still poor at playing bass, I'll buy them.

[wipje41]

@FlexBlur ive tabbed out beep street, hello meow and some bits of my red hot car and the modern bass guitar. i play on guitar only though : D

and not tabbed, but i know the notes ...

[PAULOJOAQUIN]

genious

[dilps]

Tom Jenkinson is possibly the only man who can do freestyle bass over drillin' amen breaks and saw-triangle-square waves and make it sound more than 100% badass

[FlexBlur]

@dilps Moreover it's the only one makin' it with a flashy orange raincoat. Awesome.

[dilps]

@FlexBlur Heh, whatever is affordable these days!

[jamesioski]

@dilps - haha truuuuu dat =D

[hyperguy61]

The Man. Operating on a whole different level. Genius.

[libertarianjury]

innovative use of the bass. excellent.

[doctorspacebass]

I just watched a bunch of heavy weights like Wooten ,Bailey, Bona,Oteil ,you name them, the Pusher just melted my mind, and destroyed them all in pure freshness, I don't think i've responded to any one bass solo as much, cackling in joy! thank you for the always fresh inspiration, a true leader in freedom, Jimmy would be proud and blown away!.. ...come back to montreal please, I need air to breathe!

[anoteoftruth]

insane! Tom is the best bass player I've ever seen

[cherevo]

kuttt.... gemist.

[visjenl]

Geweldig om dit weer terug te zien. Dit optreden staat voor mij personelijke top 3 van lowlands 2009

[mitb0r]

very disappointing, i really thought that tom plays better than this...

[Djdjipe]

over skills gesproken. holy shit

HELD

[freebird9]

What song? From Just a souvenir? Maybe?

[murphenfeng]

[freebird9]

Thank you!

[Menelec]

[benc812]

[ArtofRi0t]
