With Do You Know Squarepusher? Tom 'Squarepusher' Jenkinson enjoyed himself quite experimentally. Aphex Twin would pale in comparison. However, this was not just soulless fooling but a preliminary study for Ultravisitor. On his ninth CD, Squarepusher fuses with a passion for experimentation fragments of jazz, especially the freeform jazz that Miles Davis made in the seventies, and the usual drum'n'bass
… and techno ingredients, as his fans know him. The highlight is already reached with Iambic 9 Poetry, the third track, in which heavenly sounds are accompanied by an increasingly wild acoustic drum solo. The remaining hour requires a lot of patience and empathy from the listener. The question is therefore whether the enthusiastic audience that can be heard in the background has heard the same thing as the unsuspecting listener who entrusted this CD to his installation. Only the hardcore Squarepusher fans will hear Ultravisitor in its entirety. (AD)more
