Amazon.co.uk Review
With a clutch of album releases under his belt and a growing reputation, it seems a little strange that Tom Jenkins still feels obliged to include a lengthy synopsis to his musical standpoint in relation to popular culture (hence Do You Know Squarepusher). Maybe this is the result of a bad review or confused audience feedback, or simply about that time when justification was finally met. Logically it follows that the musical template remains a hallmarked cacophony of splintered beats and fractured sonics that find an aggressive medium of balancing melody in and around contorted backdrops. Lyrically it's a pastiche with "F-Train" coming across as The Streets played off and out by The Anti-Pop Consortium. Not a particularly comfortable thought, but then Squarepusher doesn't necessarily do easy listening. The closest to that comes on the latter half of the album ("Mutilation Colony") where the beats are dropped in favour of soundscaping, that again combines abstract parts (akin to Carlos and Richter) although still finds a path for more conventional or should that be "accessible" pieces too. Rounded off with a passable version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" it's another astute album with a hint of ageing and acceptance. --Found Sounds
CD Description
Sixth album from drill 'n' bass pioneer Tom Jenkinson, following 2001's critically-acclaimed 'Go Plastic'. Moving into previously uncharted territory, this record features cut-up vocal experiments, musique concrete noise collage, and a cover of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. Also includes a bonus disc entitled 'Alive In Japan', featuring a live recording of the final date on his 2001 world tour.
