    Really liking this trancey, over the top side of Burial. The harsh techno ending of 'Boy Sent From Above' reminds me of Clark's 'Turning Dragon', which is a huge compliment.

    i was already interested in checking out this single once its out and now im even more so

    i decided to give Wendorlan another shot after seeing the overwhelming amount of love on here + the RYM comment box for it and yeahhhhhhhhh ok the hype is entirely warranted!!!!!

     

    I still dont think this is as excellent as a track like Drax 2 (which it reminds me the most of) but it is certainly close! I love the structure and the last minute is just as wonderful as I remembered, if not more!

    i still enjoy both records but aside from Mutilation Colony (probably his best Ambient track though i do love 80 Ondula) & Kill Robok (really wish he made a few more tracks in the style of this one) they just dont have many moments that capture me

    whenever i put them on im like "wow! that is a squarepusher record alright!" ik this is a controversial opinion but i would take another Ufabulum and/or Just A Souvenir over them any day of the week Personally

    OT: does the word "dostro" mean something?

    i think the closest to a lull he has in his discography are dyks (which always came off as a glorified demo tape to me if im being Completely honest) & s16 tbh

    i loved and still prefer be up a hello to nts mix so i wont lie i am slightly worried

    but the bleep description + what tom said has me intrigued so i am excited for the album itself instead of just being excited over a new sp album bc we havent gotten since in 4 years lol

    Japan bonus track is a version of Heliobat called Tokyo Nightfall! https://www.beatink.com/products/detail.php?product_id=13872

    Also, here's the description given by Bleep:

     

    Spoiler

    Whether composing Music For Robots with 78 fingers, performing with Shobaleader One, or exacting the drum and bass carnage his three decade career is prized for, Tom Jenkinson presents exhilarating experiments in a stoic yet playful manner. But as with any album bearing the “Made In Lockdown” tag, it's hard not to attribute emotionalty to the latest Squarepusher offering, Dostrotime. Free from the schedule of his cancelled Be Up A Hello tour and the squall of human activity, Jenkinson spent the following 2020 in the studio brewing up some of his most intense material yet.

    As the electronic scene trends towards the ever more layered and visceral, Dostrotime switches between maximalist overload and considered minimalism. Timestretched and shrunk acid breaks reflect an amorphous temporal experience, Bookmarked by explorative ‘Arkteon’ guitar passages, the album paints an ultra elastic picture: solemnly serene harmonic touchstones give way to industrial noise surges, bulldozing and buzzsawing melodic whirls into smithereens.

    That rising and falling action plays out through an expertly sequenced tracklist: ‘Enbounce’ reveals itself to be a slowburning rager, with icily paced organs and ticks accelerating endlessly towards gutted trance growls, thrusted into the haywire electricity of ‘Wendorlan’ with reverb-thrown ruckus. Corrugated junglism and moody techno for a deserted Detroit flow down to the aqueous ‘Arkteon 2’, moving from placid pastoral to fraught uncertainty with each chord change, before catapulting up to the epic breakbeat balladry of ‘Holorform’ where cataclysmic rhythms occupy irradiated space. Gated incisions and caustic synths span the steely and foreboding ‘Akkranen’, while ‘Heliobat’ is the calm after the storm, skipping slackened strums and spare drums along the water.

    Thirty years in, Squarepusher unleashes one of his most cinematic, dextrous, and gargantuan records to date.

    I think any of his records besides Totems Flare are varying qualities of Good (most are great if im being honest) but that's one of his strongest for sure

     

    I love the Japan exclusive track its so pretty
