Big Loada is cheap because its not a full length, just an EP. & songs
though, and clocking in around 35-40 minutes, so its well worth the
money. It's ridiculous that no one has picked up Squarepusher for
domestic release, considering how much hype surrounds this guy (not to
mention how much talent he has), yet his imposters (read: Animals on
Wheels) already have domestic deals.

the closest you'll get to seeing Squarepusher domestically (at the moment
at least) is on the Infinite Beats compilation on--get this, DGC of all
labels. He's got one song that I believe is unreleased elsewhere (unless
its on the new "Burningn 'n tree" comp of spymania material). And
actually there's some good material by one of the NO U TURN artists and
Shizuo as well. I dont know if the rest is any good. I found it funny
that for Geffen's first foray into the big cash-in they'd big these
artists. Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing.
