Clavinetti Spaghetti


Squarepusher - Kammerkonzert



When I was a little kid, we used to drive up the A12 to see my cousins in Chelmsford. I have three abiding memories of this. We used to drive past the big onion. Now this wasn't a Big Onion like you'd get in Australia, but part of - I think - a cigarette factory. We then went past the Marconi factory (the world's first radio factory, don't you know). My cousins had a big old mangle down the back of their garden, which I found fascinating.

Who could have known that such a dowdy place would spawn Squarepusher?

I've been in the musical doldrums again recently, but this LP has managed to penetrate enough for me to both buy it immediately and play it a fair bit.

It's so good - kind of jazzy, classical-y, sometimes beautifully melodic, but often sitting on the very edge of irritating, loads of frantic clavinet-sounds. All mangled in that classic Squarepusher way.

Squarepusher - Feed Me Weird Things

It's an indication of how many of my musical boxes Squarepusher ticks that I can clearly remember the first time someone played his music to me and how it felt so exciting and new.

This is the 25th anniversary edition - double LP and a 10", with a booklet containing more information than you would ever care to read.

Twenty-five fucking years, man! (More now). Still sounds fucking great.
