iTunes Review
One of Squarepusher’s leanest and most thematically consistent works, Numbers Lucent explores Tom Jenkinson’s interest in the sounds of house and rave music. While it seems counterintuitive that a return to traditional styles would be creatively rewarding for a sonic adventurer like Jenkinson, working with the fundamentality of house music helps contain his conflicting musical impulses and underscores his cleverness. This is particularly obvious on the opening song, “Zounds Perspex”, a bouncy and funky house track that continually amuses even as it stays within a single rhythm construct. “Paradise Garage” is a sibling track, its title referencing the legendary Manhattan dance club where DJ Larry Levan pioneered the sounds of underground disco. Jenkinson’s drum and bass roots crop up on “Arterial Fantasy”, which feels somewhat perfunctory despite its manic rhythms. More intriguing is “Illegal Dustbin”, an assaultive closer that answers the question: “What would it sound like if house music merged with thrash metal”?
Customer Reviews
Bloody Marvelous!
If you liked "Just A Souvenir" then this is more of the same tip-top stuff. A bit more ravey and old-school Squarepusher then some of the more organic moments on the last one, but the tunes are absolutely banging! Great EP... Every track is a cracker!
Bloody awful
What a shame. Port Rhombus, this is not. Clothes shop d&b? (and it's not even that!). A pale example of a once great producer, who's simply making records 'because he can'. This is what I call a Warp records 'cliche'. Those 'Warp sounds', those Warpy 'key changes', the twisted Maxie/MSP Reaktor beats- change the bleedin' record Mr Jenkinson, you're capable of much, much more than this drivelling "listening in on my yellow VW's stereo, while whistling down to my local IKEA" rot!
mmmmn - Squarepusher
Its so so good - My epiphany was seeing 'Ultravisitor' performed live at Meltdown a few years back and this such a Huge return to form. Each track sounds like it'll be an Electronic Classic and having them together in one EP is just Fantastic.
