Enbounce
Having checked out the last few years sets... Enbounce is featured heavily and sits as a melodic breather/come-up track, to squarepusher-makes-the-drums-go-fast tracks that preceed it. He does tend to put tracks like this at the start of his albums as soembody else pointed out and so theyu have a different "task" I reckon.. that of lulling you in.
Like with Aphex... I think squarepusher bangs tracks out at livesets where they live and breath in their natural habitat. Perhaps mixing/mastering for albums just isn't a concern? I'm ok with that... I prefer the live cuts anyway for atmosphere, context, energy etc but i totally get it can be frustrating. Ive always said I find Drukqs very "tinny" compared to say Syro for example, in aphex's case

Any other IDM Dads noticed Enbounce is a remix of "Flowers" from Daydreams (the cbeebies show with pusha doing the tunes and olivia coleman narrating)?
(timestamped to the right bit)
fairuzosman called it i believe

Thank you for this; really interesting to read. Be Up A Hello was also a massive return to form for me, almost entirely because of how more richer and deeper it sounded once again. It was so good to realise he could still do that after the few albums before it. Whilst I will happily defer to you and other musicians on this, I do remember musicians and producers I know also saying d'Demonstrator had incredibly weird mixing. Obviously weird and unconventional can be a wonderful thing, but in that case if anyone else had done it I'd just found it amateurish rather than "wow, this is different and challenging."
At his best Squarepusher seems to pull off amazing paradoxes - music that can be really extreme or surprising but with an obviously excellent full sound that makes you grin. During that previous 2008-2015 period I just found I had to do too many mental gymnastics to get into it as the brittleness made the first line of just listening generally not that enjoyable. I don't know much EDM or like it, but even that stuff felt it had a bit less weird sizzle when I have heard it.
An interesting test for me is whether I'd show a track to a friend (who likes other interesting music) to get them into Squarepusher. And that's not just showing something familiar to them/their tastes; it can make them WTF but if it sounds great then that has its own fun. I'd share My Fucking Sound or Do You Know Squarepusher or many things from 1997 - 2003 in a heartbeat, but as much as I try to make myself get into that other period because it's good to hear an artist you respect out, experiences of sharing it kind of confirmed the above instincts on it all.
My Fucking Sound - now THAT is a track. hugely not talked about. Nothing else like it

Had a break this weekend from music/got into nature and haven't had such a yearning to relisten to an album in ages..... AND all the 2019-23 livesets.
....and i agree with others ... its made me go back to BUAH with a new ear and I LOVE it

- Not-sonar-2001 - he mised the gig after aphex - I asked aWarp rep about it "he was sick" but then ask Cyllob at a gig in dublin the next week. "he was working on a tune". DYKS came out shortly after!
- Dublin GP tour at the gig he-was-30-mins-late-and-pissed-everyone-off-gig.. but it was amazing. it was like the vaccum tracks for 40 mins... everyine was monged and coming down.. then BOOM
- Glade UV tour - unreal... insane ultra-white strobes and fog machine so veyone was basically in a white chamber of mayhem/noise
- UK - Bangface, the first one - the one with the massive glo-stick battle at the encore
- Dublin JAS tour - brought some metal friends who rocked hard
- Warp20 09 - legendary - "those" tracks
- STRP 09 - back to back with Aphex/Ceephax/Snares
- Day for Night 17 - DF tour but the sounds was soooo good i forgave him
- Primaversa 22 - relentless vic acid set with dostro tracks
Maybe a few others not sure!

Lads been trawling through his 2019-2023 bootlegs and he's played most of the dostro bangers loads before AND about 2 albums more worth not-including-the-NTS-tracks.
The guys a beast but we already knew that
I give you this monster:
Tour-wise - As he did oz/europe and japan 2022-23 I bet USA is next - - he better get there before that orange fucktard re-animates (i can't see THAT happening)

Man this album gives me the same feels as GP, UV... in terms of knowing that in a few years its playlist, little melodies, flow, sound palet etc will be all gorgeously familiar and standout.
. its made me go back to BeUp and appreciate iot more and now im digesting the last 5 years of live sets and my god they're soooooo good
Take this one - relentless insanity and the end noise outro - distorted guitar after "neverlevers" - is one of the best endings ive heard in ages. Pure emotional comedown

I mentioned the kids banging to Duneray earlier but I meant the other D track - "Domelash".. not that Duneray aint a stomper either
But fuck me Domelash is the perfect pusher track right there. Its got that groove that accompany's AphexTwins best DJ set centre-pieces - you know when you're just in-the-zone brain/shuffle dancing to the relentless funk drums.
Be Up plus NTS set plus live sets plus this album - the pusher is definitley back on track.
