TJ continues is journey into totally illin' graphics. 7 tracks, 29
minutes, this is about double what you get on the typical Squarepusher
single, though still not the full value you'd expect from, say, Autechre
or the Orb. That's okay, there are enough ideas here to make up for it.
The blow by blow:
a journey to reedham - TJ indulges his taste for cheese.
full rinse - like a bad jungle track heard on the tail-end of a bad trip
where the DJ is really trying to fuck with you (or so you think). What is
real, anyway?
massif - TJ's sensitive side. Beautiful in a fucked-up way. A great
track to play at parties, right after Sympathy for the Devil (RS or
Laibach, take your pick) to let everyone know that they'll never, ever
understand your musical tastes.
come on my selector - what is that beat that is so incredibly sped up,
anyway? Great driving music. This is the sort of track that makes me
think Mr. J is truly special. Oh, and yes, TJ plays bass.
the body builder - whack.
tequila fish - pushing the edges of tonality.
jaques mal chance - a throwaway.
I think Vic Acid is stronger overall, but I'm sure I'll get an argument on
this. Ask me again tomorrow.
Believe it or not, I haven't bought the album yet. What the hell am I
waiting for, anyway>?
