There is one thing that hasn't been explicitly
mentioned, and i'd like some clarification... and i
happened to notice this quote from some other post (i
forgot who) that alluded to the issue:

is doing original percussion again! Thought Lunatic
and Brace Yourself
were
just Mike listening to Vibert copying Squarepusher
coping Aphex. God
damn you,
Richard, and that blasted Hangable Autobulb EP!

so my question is, wasn't the early squarepusher just
as derivative as the newer squarepusher? i remember
when i first heard it, i thought for sure it was an
aphex alias because it sounded so much like hangeable
autobulb 1. (alot of people in record stores were
even saying this!) and as an afterthought, why should
it matter who he sounds like (i mean, sure it matters,
but if you like it, well...). it's like when we get a
top-rate autechrealike... as far as i'm concerned,
it's as though i get hear twice as many ae releases in
a year! that's great! >>>...back to the
subject...>>>
quoted 1 line don't get me wrong, I _don't_ think squarepusher
>>>don't get me wrong, I _don't_ think squarepusher
"sucks" or is a rip-off artist; actually i remember
-loving- squarepusher at one point... and i'm not even
a d&b fan... and pretty much all the artists making
electronic dance/listening music that i love have
ripped off aphex pretty noticeably even if indirectly
(e.g., people who rip off autechre) -> ->Off the top
of my head mouse on mars is an exception... i think...
of course we're strictly talking about what is
ordinarily classified as dance/listening/armchair kind
of stuff... ok let's pretend i didn't go there...
ANY hoo, it doesn't matter whether i like squarepusher
or to what extent "influences" have been "ripped off"
vs. "absorbed"... my question is:
Didn't HAB 1 predate similar squarepusher material?
Because they are friends; and because the release
dates of the material are very close, i'm hoping for
someone "in the know" to confirm/disconfirm this... or
point me to an interview or something maybe.
(gasp)
thanks,
jon
