Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A perpetual workaholic, Squarepusher (a.k.a. Tom Jenkinson) released three albums in rapid-fire succession in 1997. While his complex compositions stayed admirably fresh over each disc, by the end of the series it was evident that he had exhausted every trick in the abstract drum & bass book. On Music Is Rotted One Note, Squarepusher wisely expands his musical palette by sidestepping the conventions of electronic music. Relying primarily on minimalist jazz patterns and contemplative rhythms, he creates a low-key freeform soundtrack that is accented beautifully by electric guitars and moody bass lines. --Aidin Vaziri

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-electronic electronic music?, 7 Nov 2003
By Mr. R. Baker (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
There are two things you should know before buying this album.
Firstly, this is not an electronic album. I'm sure a lot of people will know Squarepusher as a Warp IDM arist often compared to Aphex Twin - that's not what we have here. If you're after more standard drum'n'bass, head for Hard Normal Daddy or Feed Me Weird Things. If you want slightly more mangled up drilly breaks, try out Go Plastic or Do You Know Squarepusher? This album could be loosly described as fusion jazz, with freeform jazz drums, guitar, double bass and electric piano all over the place, mixed in with some particularly odd squelchy synths.
Secondly, this record requires close listening. I had downloaded a few short samples of the album, so knew what to expect, yet I was ultimately disappointed on first listen. It seemed to ramble on without going anywhere. And it's true that a number of tracks have a very similar sound to them. But after a few close listens, particularly concentrating on the music, I discovered it was as great as I was expecting, and even better!

So if slightly messed up fusion jazz with the odd electronic moment sounds good for you, I couldn't recommend this album enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Warped jazz drum and bass psychosis, 4 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This album is the one that you WILL annoy the neighbours with - unless they are enlightened enough to have twisted avant-garde jazz, undanceable drum and bass tastes.

Precise bass and hectic but eclectic drums mix with guitars, and keyboards pushing in and falling out from the collages of sound that can only have been produced by a man on a mission to ignore as many of the rules as possible.

Warning! This is jazz that not trad., and drum and bass that will dislocate limbs if you try to dance to it...

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't get it,sorry, 5 Sep 2005
I absolutely love some of Squarepusher's stuff,particularly his first album Feed Me Weird Things and his masterpiece Go Plastic,but I find this album his least enjoyable to listen to.Don't get me wrong,you don't listen to Warp/Rephlex/etc stuff for easy listening (if anything you WANT to be shocked by someone like Aphex Twin),but I simply don't "get" Music Is Rotted One Note,although maybe the clues in the title..

I was initialy surprised by the upbeat funkiness of the first track. This is not the work of a Warp records artist, I thought to myself. Read more
