Sorry if there's already been a thread about this, but I just got a chance
to listen to an advance release copy of "Go Plastic". Wow. Man is it all
over the place. Squarepusher is on top experimental form. Lots of bleeps,
buzzs and crashes. I guess the album I would most compare it to is Music Is
Rotted One Note, but I'm not sure. It's certainly more spastic than Rotted,
but seems to have a similar feel in that it's "experimental". Actually,
maybe it's more just "mental". The "My Red Hot Car" track is the most
accessible one on the CD (or so my workmates found). There are a couple
other tracks that aren't so schizo. One of 'em is a kinda-dark drum n' bass
song called "I Wish You Could Talk". It's gotta nice groove. The last song
has a slow beat. Which is good as it allows the mind to come down from the
crazy heights the previous tracks take you up to. All in all it's one of
those albums that sounds better the more you listen to it, I found. What
seems random at the first listening takes more shape and form the second
time. Some nice melodies are buried within each track, and Tom's masterful
control of his equipment is very evident. Has anyone else heard the album?
Some other opinions of it would be cool.
