I thought 'Music is..' and 'Mindphone' lacked structure but 
in parts showed a lot of promise. This was nothing like either of 
those records. Just bad untalented jazz improv. This would have been 
bad if it had been some really crap jazz band incapable of playing 
their own instruments and I had the misfortune of having to listen 
to them. But it was Squarepusher and I have the proof that he can 
actually make good music. Sad. Brave, yes, but also crap.

I can never understand such negativity .. granted each to their 
own opinion , but maybe Tom J et al achieved what they set out 
to do , maybe they didn't .. at least they are varying the tried and
tested methods of live electronic performance .. i'm quite sure 
they couldn't give a flying rat's anus about such negative comments ..
