Perhaps this is a bit harsh. I've enjoyed _MIRON_ and the two eps as
much, if not more, than _Feed Me Weird Things_ and the batch of early
Warp singles. The newer Tom J is simply moving in a different direction
than those early releases. I think parts of the _Music is Rotted ..._,
_Budakhan Mindphone_, and Maximum Priest_ trio are detectable in his
earlier releases - does that make them any better to your ears? Probably
not, but this shellacking of Squarepusher strikes a chord with me.
Where's Kelley to defend our man Tom?
Sorry to add little to this conversation, but even if you don't like
Squarepusher's current output, there are still exceptional skills at work
in its' production. His use of space is better than most dub masters,
and the touch of melody hasn't deserted him. Call them works in
progress, call them crap, call them what-you-will. I will call them
good.
