i sincerely think you are giving this disc a bit much in your vagueness.... its really just maybe a little bit more interesting than the stuff since music has rotted.... underwater torch is another ultra watery reverbed slow loose jazzy jam.....decathlon oxide is an awkward, dark, kinda hard, dark green and brown drum and bass track....youre going down starts out with with another loose loungey a bit more colorful jam then rolls into a bassline freakout....nothing really new technically so far......cranium oxide is just this really big awkward drone thing with vocal splurges in the background.....the ae mix is kinda cool...nice sound space is created....spatial/but in your face kick drum at the same time....pretty repetitive with a very stumbling jenkinson like melody decimated in the background.....autchre production with jenkinson colors....the yeeking mix is ultra high end busted up breaks and cymbals and acidy 303 lines....sounds more like jenkinson than jenkinson does these days ::D thats not really fair of me, but u kno what i mean.... :\ the wagon christ mix is this really honky fat tromping song....it sounds like a big man on his way to the donut shop theme.....really in your face and wide...... so with all those descriptions.....i honestly was not happy with this release.....i wish i had better things to say......i love tom's old stuff to death and thats still spinning in my discman while his new stuff is collecting dust.....i hope he's having fun doing what he's doing...thats what its all about....but i cant say im having as much fun with it. i would spend my cash on the new bjork all is full of love remixes 12" set....the plaid mix is fucking sweet.....also the new to rococo rot made me smile alot. im sorry tom....its frustrating. i put 'beep street' on a mixtape for me love this weekend if that makes you feel better..... > > Squarepusher : Maximum Priest> (nothing) > > 1.)Song: Our Underwater Torch > 2.)Decathlon Oxide > 3.)You're Going Down > 4.)Cranium Oxide > 5.)Two Bass Hit (ae Mix) > 6.)Circular Flexing (Yee-King Mix) > 7.)Shin Triad (Wagonchrist Mix) > > this CD is weird, weird, weird. sounds like tom's been noodling around > with some more software apps. much more 'angular' in nature. don't > know what direction he's heading, but it looks to be interesting. > slight hint of autechre-ish tweakiness and melodies.
