Yeah, Squarepusher rules. Dude's just a melodic genius. I can't think of a single electronic artist who writes better melodies than him. Sure, his stuff doesn't always work -- he has yet to make a completely consistent full length album -- but his best songs are literally the best.

For those familiar with Streets of Rage 2 and, more specifically, Yuzo Koshiro's music, listen to this song:

at least until 29 seconds in.

The similarities are uncanny.

Yeah it's so much like streets, goddam I so miss my megadrive.

Dude's a mad bassist also

Uh, if you read the, uh, notes on that link you posted other people think it is a Daft Punk rip off as well.

UH

UH

Yeah, there are lots of people on youtube who don't know anything about music. What's your point?

Same goes for on here apparently. *zing*

It is a fucking Daft Punk rip off dude. And you got both the shaft and balls in your mouth. It is not that impressive.

UH

Um, anyway, the two new Squarepusher songs still fucking rule, and I can't wait for the new album!

Case for the Daft Punk rip-off - vocal treatment is a bit like Daft Punk's Harder Faster Stronger (or whatever it was)

Case against - everything else in the track; the presence of ears in the listener.

Having said the above, I do want to emphasise again that Squarepusher is really, really shit and shouldn't seriously be listened to by humans when Hixxy clearly still exists.

Other than the drums, overal style, mood, bass sound...
EPIC FAIL

We do agree that this artist is utter shite though.

Drums are live sampled - disparity with DP
'Overall style' is dance music - neither invented it
'Bass sound' is distorted 'as live' - DP stick to heavily processed samples, which if they're live, rarely sound so.

You have shit for ears.

EPIC FAIL

Glice, I know you don't like 'pusher, but I find it hard to believe you don't at least like this pop classic:

I don't really want to pick this scab, but the most popular result has the line '...sounds fuck all like Daft Punk'.

ASP - no, sorry.
