Squarepusher...

I went and bought the new Squarepusher LP "Hard Normal Daddy" today, and if
I was writing my top five this evening I'd have to put it in there somewhere.

If you like that early 70's fusion sound (Chick Corea, early
Return-to-Forever & George Duke stuff) and you like drum & bass, I think
you'll have a hard time not liking this one. Tom Jenkinson is obviously a
bit of a muso, but even though some of the drum programming is very complex
it doesn't come over as tricksy showing-off (compare and contrast with Luke
Vibert's "Plug" efforts.) There is a groove at work here.

Oh... and "Fat Controller" just rocks...
