iTunes Review

Now that Sofia Coppola has slipped Squarepusher onto not one but two soundtracks (Lost In Translation, Marie Antoinette), the world must be ready for the producer's new record, right? Not so fast. We're talking about the former don of drill 'n' bass here, a classically trained musician who's balancing his booth time between contemplative and cushy jazz ("Circlewave 2," the future-shocked "Bubble Life") and splitting break beats like blood cells ("The Modern Bass Guitar," "Plotinus"). Neither of which are bound for the pop charts. Ah but that's just what makes Hello Everything so refreshing: An anything goes attitude that pays little attention to Squarepusher's past or anyone else for that matter. If he wants to close with 10 minutes of dank, droning jungle music (the place where monkeys swing, not the subgenre), he goes right ahead and unfurls a piece that could score b-roll footage on Lost ("Orient Orange"). If he wants to name a track "Theme From Sprite" and literally treat it like a jingle, he jumps right into a pool of melted cheddar. And if he must round out the rest of the record with stellar melodic breakcore songs of a wild and wooly nature, then so be it. We're not complaining.

Say Hello to Squarepusher

I've been a fan of Squarepusher since his first release and have followed his work through many different phases. This album is his most cohesive work thus far. It combines the fun, dark, alien-jungle sound of Hard Normal Daddy and Feed Me Weird Things (Planetarium, Theme from Sprite, Hello Meow) with just a little bit of the possessed fax-machine noise of some of his more recent EPs (Cronecker King, The Modern Bass Guitar). There's even some ambient/dub thrown in (Orient Orange). His work has become listenable again and it sounds great. This is a really good album for newcomers to Squarepusher to try before delving into his earlier stuff. Best tracks: Planetarium, Welcome to Europe, Hello Meow.

it's got its pros & cons..

in a nutshell, it's a typical SP album-- the good is good, the bad is bad. and indeed it has both. Hello Meow, Planetarium, and Welcome to Europe are my favs, and are probably the most universally listenable ones on the album. some tracks just downright hurt to hear. i'm sure many are fans of his disjointed noisecrap tracks, but i prefer the more melodic stuff. all in all, it's good, but i personally wish he'd explore more of the moody, soundtracky vibe and ditch the harsh noise.

Breaks, Bleeps and Bass Guitar. Who's the f*cking daddy?

This album finally delivers on what Ultravisitor promised, and brings back the happy Squarepusher sound from his early days. Hello Meow, Planetarium and Welcome to Europe are proper breakbeat acid tracks with nice development and climax, like the earlier Venus No. 17 EP. This is a good amalgamation of all of Squarepusher's individual strengths and makes for a good introduction to his sound. A pleasantly surprising for a longtime fan.

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson makes manic, schizoid experimental drum'n'bass with a heavy progressive jazz influence and a lean toward pushing the clichés of the genre out the proverbial window. Rising from near-total obscurity to drum'n'bass cause célèbre in the space of a couple of months, Jenkinson released only a pair of EPs and a DJ Food remix for the latter's Refried Food series before securing EP and LP release plans with three different labels. His first full-length work, Feed Me Weird Things...
