Speaking of Jenks, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination IS Squarepusher. I mean, it can't possibly be anyone else. Way too much similarity to even be an ape-ing of Tom-Tom. If it's actually some other guy, I'd be REALLY surprised... I mean bad autechre clones are one thing (Personally Disjecta are tha last ones I'd place the Autechre-lite tag on... they've got a completely different set of sounds/atmospheres) but DIRECT 'pusher chops (come on... fretless bass, the same four breaks programmed with the exact same technical voracity, those trademark 'happy' melodic nuggets, the rhodes piano bits, etc...) seem so alien. Either way, If it's not SQP, I've got NO respect for the guy that did this stuff... -Våt. ----------------------------------- Reckankreuzungs Klankewerkzeuge Limited PO BOX 382864 Cambridge, MA 02238-2864 USA is on line @ http://www.tiac.net/users/sheket ------------------------------------------------
