splesh Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Even though I've largely lost interest in breakcore (preferring jungle and dnb quite a lot more these days), Wendorlan has me quite excited 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I don't listen to half as much breakcore as I used to. More drum and bass, but still listen to Squarepusher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lianne Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Glad to see this consensus! After a few albums where the mixing and mastering seemed really weird and thin to me (and hard to listen to), I also found Be Up A Hello a really nice surprise. Great mix and punch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nil Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Deliberate loudness is something you favor from the get-go, so pretty sure his loudest, most agressive sounding LPs were consciously written, arranged, produced and mixed with that clear aim in mind. Can't get such loudness nor agression from the mastering alone (or else, without massively altering the mixdowns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockUser Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I love this! Great news, and great track. I always get back into Squarepusher in January for some reason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlockUser Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Interesting. It always carries over into spring for me as well but I find that those crisp reverbs on stuff like Big Loada, Hard Normal Daddy or Ufabulum really fit the glistening sunlight in the January cold, and the incredible clarity of the light after months of fog and rain. I'm in Denmark though, where the sun can just disappear for weeks, so January is our spring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
