I didn't want to have to get involved in this thread but I really must express that I think those of you condemning Squarepusher's later works are missing the point entirely. Of course this is a public forum and you can express what you want, but realize that Tom Jenkinsen isnot making music for YOU, he's making it for HIM. He isn't making much money AT ALL and neither is any IDM artist. He'd remix celine dion if he wanted to do that. I also think that the stuff will grow on those who allow it to. I think it's great that he's expanding his jazz influences, and SO WHAT if it sounds like Miles Davis??? I think TJ would take that as quite a compliment and you should realize that perhaps he is still evolving and is imitating his influences to absorb them and will re-emit them in a more original form in the future. The man is a genius and should be given room to experiment. That's all that is going on so everyone quit being all constipated about it.
