Squarepusher does not equal Jega Jega does not equal Squarepusher______Repeat after me. How many electro tinged tracks do you hear on Squarepusher's albums??? I can't remember any, can you? Dylan's sound (and TJs) is bloody original enough to stand on its own. shift. To me Intron.ix is incredibly effective hard drum'n'bass::That Dune sample owns me...and when that hard break hits....you better watch your timid ass! Madness! shift. miss trinitron, I'm sure you realize this but I'll remind you anyway because, hey, we're all friends here :]--> not every producer chooses to use 'production values'::::is v/vm's output shitty because it sounds murky and whacked out? NO! because that's what they want it to sound like... shift. Fuck grooverider and his sony money--most 'top' djs wouldn't play the 'pusher let alone Jega. shift. Realize that this is Jega's FIRST album, following two eps....how many artists out there produce a perfect album the first try?? Hell, this album isn't even in my all-time top ten, but it definitely made my top five from last year. Easily some of the freshest tunes in a while, drill'n'bass included....I think my tender spot's healing now.... Please understand that I can give a fuck if you don't like Jega, but hell he ain't exactly making shite, fluffy r'n'b either is he? Peepz gotta lay off some. **If you see the noton millenium cd's anywhere, swallow the price, eat light for a week, and buy the mofo's....worth every penny. Note: my opinion generated solely upon purchase of the glourious premiere, Komet; however, knowing that Vaisanen's up next you shoudn't worry about the quality dipping at all. Fine-ly, the cd sure looks purdy all clear on the outer half, like.** + a final gripe:: there are too many people on this list ready to ask questions before they even look for answers on their own....DIY, novel concept that. Cheers. @nd. np. ancient turntable feedback. p.s. I too bow to the Teknomajikal tower::LSP-LSD forever!! BTW, this album's very 'un-dub' which in no way makes it less spliff-friendly. trust me.
