I think that Squarepusher has moved into different areas of exploration than his "Feed Me.."-era stuff. It seems that free-jazz and or improv is a heavier element and only the funk and fusion jazzy sides of his music have been transplanted to this new stuff. I think that free-improv can be done very well, I just wouldn't recommend Sq' as the best in that sort of thing. As I see it, he has moved from an area of music in which he was top of the heap into one where he is much less so. That makes sense when you think that one of the best improv/fusion/jazz players who might start trying programming drum machines for drill/drum-n-b isn't going to sound phenomenal necessarily... people should accept that Jenkinson just wants to move on, of course, even if it ain't their cup of tea.
