benc812 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i do like it on some tracks, just a whole album of it alone gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeperson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Completely agree, 909 was too much, wonder if real drums would fit with the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Backson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 people saying that "it sounds like daft punk" are so idiotic. the only similarity is the robotic garb. this, this, a million times this. i have everything that DP have done, and that is the most superficial bullshit. but yeah, i'm a big fan of the Shobalbum. Awesome songwriting. Also, fuck Anthony Fantano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 i mean... i like daft punk. not their really popular tracks. digital love is a favorite. and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhR34w2sRt4 but it's just an uninformed, stupid comparison. for any serious listener of daft punk who is also a serious SP listener, it's just nauseating. he doesn't have to master everything the way most younger producer's would. it's all very deliberate and it's too bad that more people didn't stick with him on it. i still think about the fantasy band.

Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 bof bof bof... sorry, but when it came out, i was happy... first listen, i was happy... after several listening, i say myself where is the innovation? Is it really Squarepusher album? - Now, it's in garbage, because it's a shit! The one & only "Squarepusher" album which is rotten... & finished 2 understand that's not a squarepusher album, but as he told, a Squarepusher's virtual band album... THE LOOSE!!!

Guest DotRR Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I liked D'demonstrator for the most part. I think the sort of tight and stripped down 909 drums was really just a component of a particular sound asthetic. I cant say I hope he returns and makes another ablum like this and I wouldnt say that about anything else (Go Plastic..) he has done either. I like the fact that Jenkinson does what we wants and keeps moving on. Ufabulum is gonna be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Perhaps the irony of Shobaleader was lost on us - most people not affiliated with electronic music are generally surprised to find out the music they are hearing is the product of one person, and so Tom riffed on this idea by saying Shobaleader was a band, when in reality it was just him and him alone.

Silent Member Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm thinking maybe somehow we're seeing the remains of what could've been the shobaleader one live setup in the dark steering video. I don't know how well shobaleader one did financially? My guess is it underperformed terribly, and they (the pr/label/management people) had all this stuff lined up ready to go, which is now being recycled for the new album. Yah, that's my one conspiracy theory for 2012. Pretty harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is it really Squarepusher album? No, it's a Shobaleader One album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My god you guys can be bitter sometimes. Take it for what it is: a fun synthpop album with slight prog elements. I would have liked to hear the sound evolve a bit more—more towards the jazz-fusion/prog stuff, maybe some longer songs, etc but I still give it a listen every now and then!

I liked quite a few tracks. Not as Squarepusher, but as Shobaleader. They are separate projects, and I think many people didn't grasp that. I hope the project continues... as I really enjoyed Alex Thomas on drums, and the Japan Benefit really showed a lot of promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
