Squarepusher

Don't know if there are fans of The Techno (specifically IDM) in here, but I've been wearing a hole in the new Squarepusher album, it's quite good. I've been hooked on his stuff ever since I heard it playing at Tower Records in Glasgow in '96.

Yes! I didn't know that album yet. Quite melodic and definitely post-dubstep.

Autechre's Confield still gives me a headache; in my opinion music that differs too much from what you're used to (in the case of Confield, almost no melody to speak of) is (initially) rather hard to listen too.

Ha! I was just listening to Confield, but I switched to Boards of Canada for a break. Better to program to.

I find something like Underworld's Beaucoup Fish or Orbital's green album helps me to concentrate. I must've heard those albums hundreds of times.

I save Beaucoup Fish for when I'm driving. Sitting and coding stuff gets Second Toughest in the Infants still, it doesn't seem like a day has gone by since I heard that for the first time in college. That's the album that really pulled me into electronica, the more mainstream stuff just wasn't interesting enough.

After reading all this, I'm very curious to hear that album !

I'd like to find it, but just "The Techno" as keywords are a bit too vague for Google or Amazon or The Pirate Bay. Could anyone help me with a link, or more specific keywords (like a release year, for example)?

Thanks !

Underworld or Squarepusher?

@trumelpuut: This sure cracked me up

It's all in the title I guess

Underworld or Squarepusher?

well, both, while we're at it

I like this Underworld album best: http://www.allmusic.com/album/beaucoup- ... 0000048296

I've got some of their later work, but somehow I keep coming back to this one.

I only have Squarepusher's first album (Feed me weird things) somewhere. I'm sure allmusic has a complete list of all his albums.

Thanks, I'll have a look (or rather a listening). In fact, the one I'm most interested is to "post-dubstep" one. I can't help wondering what that means and thus have got to hear it .
