I suppose Tom Jenkinson requires no introduction. Any child of electronica should be familiar with his contribution to the evolution of music since his debut, “Feed Me Weird Things” (Rephlex, 1996). And even though, Jenkinson joined the Warp family in 1997, way after Autechre and Aphex Twin, his Squarepusher sound is still one of the staple commodities of the British label, and electronic music itself. Those who somehow missed the era of Squarepusher’s Amen breaks and broken glitchy drums, need only to dig through his vast catalog to catch up. Among these, I highly recommend “Hard Normal Daddy” (1997), “Big Loada”, (1997), “Selection Sixteen” (1999), “Go Plastic” (2001), “Venus No. 17” (2004) and my personal favorite, “Do You Know Squarepusher” (2002).

I would have preferred to stay away from regurgitating Jenkinson’s vast discography, especially since I consider him an artist prominent enough for you to know, but in this case the storyline is important to revisit, to traverse his ample sonic arc. At the peak of this curve, we find Squarepusher tweaking the knobs of destructive DSP boxes and slicing up drum loops into a dizzying typhoon of collapsing beats, to what back then, as a precursor to breakcore, felt to be the most mind-warping, accelerated music I have ever heard. With an added sprinkle of AFX-like banter, as is the case with one of my all-time favorite EPs, “My Red Hot Car” (2001), Squarepusher was unstoppable and without a doubt at the top of his game.

Around 2004, for his “Ultravisor” release, Jenkinson began experimenting with live sound, layering many juxtaposed pieces with Spanish guitar and his very special fretted bass. The music began approaching future jazz territory, until in 2008, “Just A Souvenir” found Squarepusher’s sound all but unrecognizable among the leftfield, fusion, and art-rock riffs. For the latter, Jenkinson walked away from the computer monitor and performed all live takes, recording the instrumentals for entire tracks all the way through. The 2010 follow-up, in which Squarepusher introduced Shobaleader One‘s “d’Demonstrator”, left many fans confused, at times scratching their heads at the brand new chapter that Jenkinson began to write with his electro retro funk. Many walked away disheartened, leaving the album in a pile of flustered shameful dust.

I managed to stay focused, following Jenkison’s development as a musician, always challenged with self-reinvention. Throughout these incredibly unique albums, I navigated every unanticipated turn with mild fascination, marvel and awe, until all of my feelings matured into a total appreciation of his sound. Yes, after admittedly numerous listens, I fell in love with the progression of Squarepusher, eventually doubting, like many others, that he would ever relapse to his [now old-skool] electronic ways. But with the release of his fifteenth studio album, my patience finally paid off!

On “Ufabulum” Jenkins performs an acrobatic somersault, returning to his roots, while managing to fuse all of the taken detours together. The drills and breaks are back; the analog bass and digital effects are back, the synths and acid lines are back; even the titles of the tracks, like “303 Scopem Hard” all but flashback to the ‘original’ Squarepusher! Although the world’s fascination with dubstep does not appear to have deeply penetrated Squarepusher’s sound, the 16-bit arcade style lo-fi bleeps and plops comfortably settle beneath his yesteryear cutting edge sound.

Jenkins maintains his tongue-in-cheek trance stabs and dark humor IDM just above the surface of serious commitment to intelligent programming and visionary sound design. The seemingly toy-like melodies on “Unreal Square” get drowned in simplistic drum machine patterns and dehydrating saw-tooth bass, until that almost-familiar lead line draws a parallel between two worlds, builds in a snare roll and ruptures into a cut-up post-break drum’n’bass, connecting one Squarepusher to the other. It’s Squarepusher remixing Squarepusher, if you will, combining all of the invented elements of the past, with not yet discovered production of the future.

This album is very interesting. Regardless of what type of Squarepusher you fell in love with, this album WILL subvert your expectations. At least at parts. If you were the person who fell in love with SP's absolutely chaos-driven IDM craziness, then the first half will leave you wondering where it might have been placed. It's there, but not in full effect. Then, the second half comes in and completely tears it up. The first 5 tracks that have lulled the impending storm are now far behind and absolute darkness has enveloped you. In a good way. Then the album finished off in a superb blending of the two halves, the Yin and Yang, of the album. I find this is an album I will have to listen to many times to fully appreciate, as it subverted my own expectations in the first few listens. Without a doubt if you are a Squarepusher fan of any kind, this album is worth a listen.

For those of you who appreciate the "classic" Squarepusher sound, The Metallurgist is really where the meat and potatoes of this long player begins in earnest. To my ears the first five tracks are solid but since Ultravisitor I have been searching for that ideosyncratic Squarepusher sound to really get my pulse thumping. The second half of this long player really does invite you back to that sound and lets you wipe your feet on the welcome mat.

For me this is the real deal.
