Sounds pretty awesome on my first go. Kind of a continuation on the style of Ufabulum. Anyone seen him tour this go around?

His most maximal record yet? I wasn't bored at all during the first listen.

It is pretty damn maximal, I love the dark tracks Baltang Ort and D Fronzent Aac the most. These last two records feel extremely consistent palette wise, which is kinda odd for Tom, as he usually switches up his sounds quite dramatically between records while retaining that Squarepusher sound.

I do hope he brings back some of the jazz/live instrumentation next album though. It's like that side of him has been banned for awhile now,

Just posted about my enjoyment of this on the all purpose thread, and second octobeard's point that it feels unusually of a piece with Ufabulum.

This is my least favourite aspect of his sound tbh.

This is convincing me that all of his albums should only be eight tracks long, actually.

not sure about the "just like heaven" riff in the first track

I like it when he weaves corny hooks in amongst the chaos.

Kontenjaz is mental.

I don't have a problem with it on its own but I'm just listening to Ufabulum for the first time and Energy Wizard is a direct steal from The Caterpillar...
