Squarepusher - Ultravisitor

[Dave]

Just bought this, this morning. First listen and it is actually quite fookin good. More melodic and varied than Do You Know Squarepusher? More like earlier stuff in ways. Bravo. :)

[breakbear]

Hurrah!

Will run and purchase later.

Would show my love for squarepusher thru the medium of smiley but computer has gone odd and I can't see any of the graphics.

:unhappy face:

I pondered whether it would do as a bunny girl smilie. Alas not. Didn't quite have the same effect, try as I might. :silly:

Can't listen to squarepusher anymore, makes me go all quesy and want to throw up. A bit like when you give yourself alcohol posioning on vodka and vimto so can't touch vimto again.

I had to study Squarepusher at Uni in my Music in Contemporary Culture Course which had a similar effect of putting me off.

Haha, I remember this. I have never quite seen someone nearly pass out to listening to music alone.

how do i get a picture to pop up? i've found one i like, its the right size.

Boomkat seem to like the new Squarepusher:

"Parts of this album appear to be made out of live recordings though Warp claim not!!! the sequencing is a bit bizarre to say the least but if the Squarepusher you love is 'Hard Normal Daddy Feed Me Weird Things My Sound Iambic 5 Poetry' then you'll adore this album. A killer return to form for the master".

Yeah, there is a smidgen of crowd noise within some tracks... hmmm.

Best track so far... Iambic 9 Poetry.

[Peak District Drifter]

Would like to give it a listen!

I'd like to pose a teaser for anyone interested, it's a tough one:

Which classic 1970's New York film has the 'Max Sedgley - Happy' break been taken from?

Manhattan?

[Peak District Drifter]

no, soz

[Steve L]

no, sozTaxi Driver? Annie Hall? Mean Streets? Dog Day Afternoon?

[Dave]

American Graffiti?

[Peak District Drifter]

Good, but they're not the right answers. I'm guessing that Max Sedgley has'nt cleared the sample.

[Steve L]

Give us a clue then, Roy Walker.

[Peak District Drifter]

I'm not sure i want to give this away... i watched the film the other week and caught it then, it only plays once throughout the whole film & I'm really hoping it's on the soundtrack. (which I've ordered a copy) KEEP TRYING

[breakbear]

The French Connection?

[Peak District Drifter]

sorry, but no

[breakbear]

How about Shaft?

[Steve L]

The Conversation?

[Steve L]

Serpico?

[Peak District Drifter]

neither of the two above.

[Marcus]

Is it cop related?

[Peak District Drifter]

is 'cop related' a film?
it is a new york cop's sort of film.

[Steve L]

is 'cop related' a film?
it is a new york cop's sort of film.
The kind of film a New York cop might enjoy, for example on his evening off, or a film involving New York cops?

[breakbear]

Taking of Pelham 123 or whatever its called?

[Steve L]

Taking of Pelham 123 or whatever its called?
Good call, I was thinking that.

[Peak District Drifter]

Correct! If your not listening closely you could miss it, but its in there!

[Steve L]

Correct! If your not listening closely you could miss it, but its in there!
Good question. I'll have to watch it again.

[breakbear]

:luxhello:

Good question

I love trivia me :really:

More questions. More threads.

:UNCLESAM:

[Peak District Drifter]

slightly easier but on the same tip. who has reworked max sedgley - happy?

[Steve L]

I dunno... probably Yam Who or Blackbeard... those fuckers love their reworks.

[breakbear]

Plumps

:P

Surely that's a 'remix'?

[Peak District Drifter]

i've heard another one which is reasonable:

Happy in Rio (Spiritual South mix)

They did that 'Green Gold' track last year

[breakbear]

Does pitching up count as remixing nowadays.

:P

Wasn't that billed to be The Tune of the Weekender? - I didn't think it was that great - maybe i'll have another listen.

[Peak District Drifter]

it's reasonable, it aint all that great.
southport weekender?

[Peeky]

it's reasonable, it aint all that great.
southport weekender?

yes i think so, it rings a bell from somewhere.

[Peak District Drifter]

I may (fingers crossed) have myself a guest pass to go to southport on the saturday.

[_Si_]

I may (fingers crossed) have myself a guest pass to go to southport on the saturday.

that's where i'm from - i live about half a mile from the pontins they have the weekender in. :hour:

never been though, i asked if i could have a cheaper ticket without a 'chalet' cos it seems daft hiring a room so close to my house, but they never got back to me.. :mad1:

[breakbear]

I bought this album last week, listened to it most of the way through on Saturday (was interrupted at the end) and have to say I was completely blown away.

Definitely album of the year, and I can't see it being beaten.

I think schoolchildren should be made to listen to it on the National Curriculum.

[Citizen James]

its nice to see squarepusher back on form, i got a bit fed up with buying his albums and finding that there was one wicked track and the rest was him seeing what random and nasty noises he could make.

[jmcee]

Well spotted Peak District drifter!.. That's a fat break when it kicks in. Let us know if there's any raw beats on the soundtrack! ;) cheers.

[Peak District Drifter]

The break is on the soundtrack - 2nd to last track.
I think its just had a recent reissue, i picked up a copy pretty cheap.

[Dave]

Vote Breakbear.

[sloth]

So I bought this today in Fopp.

Guess what- I don't really like it. Wanted to check out what the fuss was concerning Squarepusher. I've read in this thread that 'ultravisitor' is one of his more accessible albums. It really doesn't make me want to check out any of his other stuff if this is the case. I'm all for experimental, boundary pushing music, but large parts of this album are to my ears just wanton, unnecessary noise (yes Geoff/Marcus I said 'noise'!). The sort of stuff you're not allowed to admit you don't like cos some smug muso boff will say "you just don't get it".
Yeah Iambic 9 Poetry is nice, but is it really anything Four Tet isn't doing (and doing better?).

Dissapointed.

I see the problem here Luke, i think the music is a bit too alternative for you...you just dont get it ;)

[southern monkey]

Hi all
Myself and two other djs run a night called' Shula-Bula'. On New years eve we had a party in a disused brewary (spirit of acid house ).
We recorded the night and are currently in the process of getting the music off of minidisc and onto c.d. Anyone interested should PM I would like to swap for U-G MIXES ideally, but am happy to send to anyone.
LONG LIVE THE PITCH MONKEYS!!!! :twitch2:

[breakbear]

but is it really anything Four Tet isn't doing (and doing better?).
Oh.

You are wrong.

More details on Shula-Bula please Southern Monkey. Whyfore you post about it in Squarepusher thread?

:)

[southern monkey]

Ignorance mainly, It's the 1st time I have used a message board, and I haven't worked out how to use it properly yet. :confused:
