I noticed it most on just a souvenir. The vinyl mastering for that is so loose it sounds like the 'band' is playing live in your living room.

For some reason I never was too phased by the mastering on ufabulum. It sounds compressed but I guess I felt it suited the music or something? The vinyl is definitely clearer though. Like you can really hear the bass tones and individual synths and parts super clearly.

on JAS it was the absence of low end that bothered me. Ufabulum is compressed but you're right, it's suited to the music. Ufabulum is supposed to be played loud. Squarepusher party music I guess.

Just a heads up, I ordered the vinyl from amazon, so anyone else who is a sucker like me and has to resort to prepaid cards to order online in the US, you're in luck!

It's weird how they have mounted the guitar picks at a 45+ degrees angle on the strings, which results in a lot of scraping noise and a pretty dull and undefined attack.

vibrating strings are moving targets, and the more they are struck the greater the amplitude of the vibration. angling the picks offers the player some leeway in achieving a good strike on a string that really occupies a broad area of probability. also, with the precision of a robot, you can position them so only the point reaches a string that is still, allowing for a nice pluck regardless of the angle.

 

this is the coolest album. really an amazing achievement, making the guitars play so well so fast, having it all sound so good, and the compositions being so great and well-suited for the set-up.

It might allow for more speed, or less chance of a string breaking at high speeds.

 

maybe adding small spoilers to each string would help.

pls pusher album this fall pleeeeees

 

Based on his release schedule (every 2 years generally), we're looking at winter of this year or early next year probably?

 

Any hopes on the next album? I want some goddamn amenry from him a-la Hello Everything or Ultravisitor. Can't he just make a throwback album that isn't brickwalled to high heaven like Ufab was? (I still like ufab)

I totally want some amenry. Hello Everything-style or Go Plastic works for me.
