Selection 16 and Go Plastic are quite different.
Selection 16 is probably my least favorite of any of
Tom's work. If you could imagine out takes from Music
is Rotted One Note and Big Loda then you'd have this
album. There are a few moments, but most of the
tracks are far too repetitious for his style.
Go Plastic is great in my opinion. Not only because
Rolling Stone gave it one star [a-hahahaha!!] but
because it was put together so well. The actual song
content doesn't quite reach Big Loda [his best, in my
opinion] or Hard Normal Daddy status, but where that
lacks he gains much ground with the quality of sound.
This is probably one of the most professional sounding
albums I've heard short of pop radio. I would love to
know what kind of equipment he uses to process, etc.
The new album seems to have a similar sound. If you
like the sound of those two tracks on Warp, then you
should certainly get Go Plastic. Its the type of
album you'd imagine the guy spending hours tweaking
20-30 second segments on. This can be both good and
bad. Perhaps that is why it doesn't sound as natural
as Big Loda.
Oh, and certainly look forward to the first track on
Do You Know Squarepusher. It is (pretty much) the
"Untitled" single he released a bit ago on
warp [long out of stock], which is probably the best
song ever written, dammit.
