masterpiece

[TehSkullKrusher]

The. Shit. This is a song that seems like it'd be so much more fun to jam to if I was an epileptic with Parkinson's disease*. *Yeah, I'm gonna get struck by lightening...

[ThePogmeister]

listening to this in headphones was one of the most intense things my life has ever thrown at me

[mrpiki]

Love this song, it sounds like an audio representation of pac man hitting a freakout as it progresses lol

[afdba]

someone played this at some technooutlawparty thing on full bass.... i ejaculated for 5minutes and 39 seconds

[mud409]

@AugZF Mike & Rich isn't vsnares, it's μ-Ziq and Aphex Twin...

[throwindembows]

@mud409 this is quite true, but 'expertknobtwiddler' was a channel on youtube that had massive amounts of vsnares (aaron funk) tracks along with hundreds of other tracks by other artists from similar record labels (warp, rephlex, planet-mu, and even sublight). that channel had been taken down for some reason or another, and it is an appalling shame...

[TheLiarlion]

@OuroGoku tom jenkins is a person, squarepusher is an artist

[LiftYourSkinnyFist]

@TheLiarlion Agreed. I hate how people refer to artists as a person. I don't even understand the thought process behind that; is it because it's just one person creating the music? @.@ Who knows. Regardless - artist, not a person.

[DjHyphie]

if you like squarepushers music search for ziggomatic 17 (hint its a track by someone else not to be named on a squarepusher video as it would be too cleche lol). It had to be said. I fucking love squarepusher as of last month though.. TOTAL GENIOUS. My fave pusher tracks so far are "The exploading Psychology", "Go Spastic" and "welcome to europe", all though i have SHIT loads of catching up to do with Tom Jenkinsons amazing music.

[aechaech]

after this track ended, took me like 30 seconds to snap back into reality.. exceptional track.

[ICANHASGREATMUSIC]

@OuroGoku Squarepusher is an artist name. A band consist of more members than one - which I believe was what ChaosEngine91 meant.

[LIGHTRONIX]

This is my favorite song to play in my car.

I have two 16" Subwoofers.... so yea about those earthquakes in Haiti...

[antiego1]

The beginning of this sounds like the beginning of Come on My Selector. Only realized this just now...

[p0litician0nLSD]

same thought=]

[MikeZar]

yeah it's the same break

[djmaf]

i love how it sounds as if he's raping his computer and then speeding up the sounds it makes :D

[TheDVNO]

squarepusher rules!!!

i love his music

greetings from mexico to all fans around the world!

[makeithurtful]

well this song is a blast huh!

[simeonbanner]

I think his music lacks a real motivation for making it. He's technical and can operate the machines but it lacks sublime highs and lows. It mostly all takes place at the same pace, including emotionally. I don't think that is true of certain other electronic music makers. Lacks soul.

[ThomComputer]

i'd advise listening to iambic 9 poetry. the most beautiful song i've ever listened to.

[ennoidshun]

I don't know why an honest opinion gets thumbed down so much, especially one as insightful as yours. I agree in a lot of squarepusher songs it's hard to find the lows and highs but they are definitely there in a lot of my favorite tracks by him.

Beep Street for example :)

[DJGUAPOMTL]

Amazing track !

I am proud to say I have seen him live 5 times, twice at Glastonbury, three times in North America...

[Alkatross]

damn this song is so awesome. the best one on the album. hes really pushing those square waves... lol. unlike anything else musically. i mean theres d&b out there, but this song is just completely unhinged. love it

[jnthnbush]

what is a square wave?

[Alkatross]

It's the sound a transistor makes.

[TheLeunamiam]

feel ashamed to ask that question....

....

[jnthnbush]

yea, I am sure everyone knows what a square wave is.

[Oavatos]

Well since no one will answer your question in a more. let's go over soundwaves here for a second there are many types of sound waves, the most well known ones are sine, saw, ramp, triangle, and square. if you analyze a squarewave you have a waveform similar to a square in appearance. the squarewave is very often used for bass sounds.

[J4YM5]

a wave that is square

[improja]

Fuckin Awesome

[matlikethecarpet]

so is this song called Hello Everything or The Modern Bass Guitar? Im new to these guys

[ChaosEngine91]

It's called The Modern Bass Guitar and is from the album Hello Everything. Btw, Squarepusher is a person, not a band.

[matlikethecarpet]

cheers

[alna1287]

Yes, you're entirely unique. No one else listens to this kind of music which is why their aren't massive communities of people discussing it and listening to it online. Wait...

[LemonTartProductions]

hahahah you're an idiot

[scimanuk]

Hee hee

[Rutgerwhooer]

maybe just a DRY sense of humour, either way funny.

"Hey, I saw the Aphex Twins live at Glastonbury years ago."

[TailEater420]

Yes because any type of music with a large community of people talking about it online should be common enough to find people to talk to about it offline too. Oh wait, maybe you're just another person lookin for reasons to be an ass. Unfortunatly you aren't entirely unique either.

[edwardosp]

lol "im so alternative"....you cockmunch!

but yer, ummmm.....

[celtriot]

love this track...you into venetian snares?

see your another fan of warped records

[20Nopraptor07]

wow. absof*ckinglutely amazing

[AugZF]

'king is!

[20Nopraptor07]

[afxgrin]

In the future - bass guitars come with built-in ring modulators.
