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.
