This Squarepusher album features Tom Jenkins doing what he does best, playing the hell out of the bass. This live recording from a show in Paris is comprised of only a bass and a small amp. Despite only having one instrument, Squarepusher pushes the limits of the instrument. The way he plays the bass is absolutely spell-binding. This quiet and intimate album is just another side of the multi-faceted Squarepusher. For people expecting wild, sprawling, choppy drums and unusual synth melodies that have come to embody Squarepusher, this is not for you. Even though incredibly complex and insanely technical, this is a very quiet, intimate release. There is a vulnerability in this album that hasn’t been seen in previous works. You can actually hear coughing in the room and it makes you feel like you are there. It is truly a great listen!
