Squarepusher - Music is Rotted One Note


SquarepusherSquarepusher's Music is Rotted One Note is a perfect jam for a late night electronic music graveyard shift. Throw is on and get what you have to done. Take a listen to Music Is Rotted One Note Great experimental sounds and technique. There is more to this than what you hear.
Alternative Press

This 15-track LP is a brave ... departure from Squarepusher's patented hyperkinetic fusion/jungle antics.... The main difference with Music: Squarepusher ... plays all the instruments live, leaving out the samplers and sequencers.

A perpetual workaholic, Squarepusher (a.k.a. Tom Jenkinson) released three albums in rapid-fire succession in 1997. While his complex compositions stayed admirably fresh over each disc, by the end of the series it was evident that he had exhausted every trick in the abstract drum & bass book. On Music Is Rotted One Note, Squarepusher wisely expands his musical palette by sidestepping the conventions of electronic music. Relying primarily on minimalist jazz patterns and contemplative rhythms, he creates a low-key freeform soundtrack that is accented beautifully by electric guitars and moody bass lines. - Aidin Vaziri

"This is another absolutely masterful work by Tom Jenkins. aka Squarepusher Unlike his newer CD's, or his older CD's, this album has a mix that blends the harder electronica and the highly stylized jazz into one continuous dreamscape of sound and intrigue."
