(isn't that pic damn awesome? jeez he NAILED how he looks)

by the way, this song is awesome for many reasons, but my favourite is how tom like... demos to you how he samples his own drums then sequences the spliced drums. I love the part where you hear the transition into the electronic beat : D.

@zZasmZz read the description~

Oh yeah... My favourite part is the final stretch, with those harsh tones over the beat. It's so *grimace* hehe

Tetra-sync is another example of a transition from loose drumming to tight sequencing. All good stuff ^_^

[rhymeswithgabriel]

yeah that part is my second favourite part lol. tetra-sync, huh? I'll look into it

Chris Cunningham should do a video for this. Very nice acid jazz.

[elephantmang]

this and planetarium make this album something truly special

[0ct0parr0t]

holy shit!! this is the best thing I've heard in years!!

[JEMORANGE]

@Kostly i know what you mean. THAT IS SUCH A DIRTY BUILD UP. BUT... i wish there was a huge crazy Amen break and not that bass guitar.

Tom Jenkinson is a trained musician on drums, piano, bass, guitar and of course, electronic music devices. Think of the most insane Jazz song you know, then, transform that into something retarded with Absynth and Reaktor and you pretty much have Squarepusher's style.

1,500 POINT COMBO!

The buildup to the 1:15 mark is straight up BEAST......then the drop....is even more BEAST. Do NOT approach this man, squarepusher.....he will DESTROY you.

ars poetica is the work of an artist in wich he expresses his thoughts on creation

[MrMpalmer33]

This track is beautiful madness. I like in bed with my headphones on and blast my ears at night before sleep.

@Aspect225 are you talking about numbers lucent? I agree he doesn't cut nearly as deep as he did with his older stuff. I think hello everything is a step in the right direction though. By the way what does 'ars poetica' mean?

[Aspect225]

@GunYou1 Yeah Tetra-sync looks like an ars poetica.

Last week he released a new album. Is he in love or what? Al that songs are homoerotic and far from the class of eg. tetra-sync or do you know squarepusher
