I know this kind of goes against Warp's aesthetic, but I wonder if Squarepusher would be better served if they hired some kind of outside consultant to tie a musical seatbealt around Jenkinson?

hm, i think the dude is perfectly capable if doing that himself, he just doesnt give a shit
his best stuff is definitely the stuff that makes use of his crazy skills on jazz bass
|

btw is this really 0.5 bad?

Even more so

yeah he's like the electronic equivalent to a great singles band

man, some of this could have been really excellent. dissolver shows moments of brilliance but it's all over the fucking place and ends up being a hodgepodge or good and bad. when this many decent-good ideas are mixed right in with some of the most annoying shit ever, it makes the entire project fail.
excellent review, however:
That might make sense if the music contained on Music For Robots actually pushed the boundaries of how traditional instruments could be utilized in the context of digital and electronic music
i don't necessarily agree with this. the way in which he's talking about challenging the medium doesn't mean he has to push the boundaries of traditional instruments in electronic music. i think a lot of other artists have sought and achieved what he so desperately tries to here without necessarily breaking ground.

That semicolon seems out of place to me in the first two sentences. Besides that great review! I liked his more recent stuff though so ill check this out

even though it's uninspired, i don't think this is as horrendous as it's being portrayed. there's a lot of cool dissonant, jazzy melodies on this thing. the length and concept is a let down, but the sounds themselves are entertaining for me. definitely not even close to the worst electronic music i've heard. for instance this is waaaaay better than zedd.

That comparison is kind of moot given that both artists work at completely different ends of the electronic spectrum

what i meant is that he says hes trying to prove a point that robotic music can still sound human (a sentiment i agree with) but does it in the most counterintuitive way possible, basically proving the opposite of what he set out to do. his idea of making traditional music electronic simply by making machines play it might have been successful had what he gone beyond or done something completely different than what humans with those same instruments are capable of doing. he actually kind of does this in that one section of dissolver, but then again that also wasnt really the point according to him?
there just seems to be a lot of cognitive dissonance surrounding the point of this album, almost like he didnt really know what exactly he was trying to do with it.

damn, didn't think it'd be as bad as you make it out to be.

I liked Ufabulum, this not so much.

I didn't know you could give an album an 0.5... This sounds like someone played connect the dots on garage band or something.
