Squarepusher Burningn?n Tree 2LP Warp Rephlex

This auction is for a SQUAREPUSHER ? BURNINGN?N TREE original 2xLP from Warp
Records dated 1997. The record is in mint condition and the jacket is in
excellent shape as well. I do not believe you will find another copy in as
excellent of shape as this has been in storage for all these years. A
collection of some of Tom Jenkinsons earliest released tracks on Spymania.
Includes the excellent and legendary Conumber and Alroy Road Trax EP's.
Burning n Tree is twelve tracks of fat, danceable drum and bass with the
magic Squarepusher edge. The selection here on Burningn'n Tree are crunchy
and uneven, but certainly rewarding for collectors losing faith in the hunt
for original limited vinyl pressings. As a bonus, Jenkinson throws in three
previously unreleased selections. The real treats are Spymania's early gems.
The disc sprints forward with the 1996 track "Central Line," which seems
atypically straightforward with its 4/4 drum lines -- lean and
underdeveloped by jungle standards (as well as Jenkinson's), but a perfectly
energizing opener. It is tracks like this and "Sarcacid" (also known as "The
Duke of Harringay") where he leans on his fantastic bass playing and jazz
background, rather than his dizzying programming skills that would bloom on
future endeavors. One could argue that here was a time when, perhaps due to
equipment limitations, he was more on the musician side of the fence; a man
who could play live bass at 240 bpm alongside his hyperactive drum machine,
as opposed to the disjointed computer-generated brain chop of Go Plastic or
the hazy bong water slosh of Budakhan Mindphone. The compilation here shows
Squarepusher in his early days of flight, especially the tracks resurrected
from his Conumber EP -- the epic 11-minute title track, plus two barely
related versions of "Eviscerate," a wonderful balance of organic sounding
jazz, atonal machine loops, and fluid bass playing. Jaco would be proud. The
album's second to last track is the sloppy dub abandon of "Toast for Hardy,"
where Squarepusher's echo chamber effects and distorted mumblings add up to
something like a bootleg of Peter Tosh babbling in his sleep. "Sarcacid, Pt.
2" brings the LP to a close, and in quite a satisfying way. Shuffling,
open-ended hi-hats do leapfrogs over snare rushes and chromium alloy
keyboards -- certainly an example of icy electronica that grooves. Highly
recommended.
(Twelve untitled tracks).
