Excellent, though challenging
, October 2, 2001Although at first I thought this album was highly dubious, I came back to it after not listening to it for a couple of years and found it more accessible than I remembered. Somehow the melodies which I missed the first time round seemed more prominent, and the free jazz had coalesced into form. The result is an album that almost maintains the awesome quality of Feed Me Weird Things and Hard Normal Daddy - although I can't give 5 stars to a record that took me 2 years to grow into... -
Pushing The Boundries Maybe Too Much
, May 2, 2001Reviewer: dadropsta - See all dadropsta's reviewsOk, I love Squarepusher; I think he's one of the most original and dedicated acts there is out there at the moment. But,(and this is a big 'but') this collection of noise really isn't worth a toss. I stole this album from HMV and a good thing too, coz if I had forked out

Pro Reviews: Music Is Rotted One Note
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The one-man drum'n'bass outfit Squarepusher (aka Tom Jenkinson) treads upon more unpredictable terrain on Music Is Rotted One Note. Although the album still contains elements of his usual drum'n'bass sound, this is by and large a jazz/fusion affair. Jenkinson does a masterful job playing all the instruments live and by himself, and perfectly re-creates the funky atmosphere of such early-'70s Miles Davis classics as Get Up With It and On the Corner. Jenkinson's performances throughout the disc are both flawless and inspired -- he obviously realized that if he was to pay tribute to Miles, nothing but the best would do. Davis' spirit lives on in such tracks as "Don't Go Plastic," "Dust Switch," "137 (Rinse)," and "Theme From Vertical Hold," while "My Sound" perfectly captures the essence of Miles' calming and reflective compositions. But don't be misled; this is not a by-the-numbers ripoff of Miles Davis. Jenkinson updates these familiar sounds with '90s recording techniques and injects enough of his own style into the mix to keep it recognizable. Miles would be proud. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide |
