Maybe this is the result of a bad review or confused audience feedback, or maybe it was simply about that time when justification was finally met. Logically, it follows that the musical template remains a hallmarked cacophony of splintered beats and fractured sonics that find an aggressive medium of balancing melody in and around contorted backdrops. Lyrically, it's a pastiche, with "F-Train" coming across as the Streets played off and out by the Anti-Pop Consortium. Not a particularly comfortable thought, but then, Squarepusher doesn't necessarily do easy listening. The closest to that comes on the latter half of the album ("Mutilation Colony"), where the beats are dropped in favor of soundscaping, which again combines abstract parts (akin to Carlos and Richter), but still finds a path for more accessible pieces, too. Rounded off with a passable version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart," it's another astute album with a hint of aging and acceptance. --Found Sounds ## Images ![Do You Know Squarepusher - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31AjMlZTvkL.jpg) ![Do You Know Squarepusher - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Mkdm84sDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 24, 2017* Love squarepusher ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ it's a concept album *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2002* This album travels from one end of the IDM spectrum to the other: pop->punk->experimental->Joy Division. Well, the joy division part was just the statement of intent. This album is great music throughout, but it is only one song of each style, so it leaves you wanting more. Kind of a death by diversity. Regardless, this album's point has been well proven by the comments of the audience. Love ~will~ tear us apart. The pop heads all love the first song, (which sort of demonstrates through the constantly shifting DnB styles, the fact that the beat style doesn't change the song that much at all. it kind of steps on the hands of the jenre wh0res out there who think that "tech step is far supreior to dark step or two step or blah blah blah.") but they hate "all that noise [stuff] at the end." On the other side, the experimental freaks all turn their noses up at the poppier songs as being sonically uncreative and overly commercial. As for the Joy Division cover, it seems like no one understood that. oh well.As music, DYKS is an interesting tour of the scene, and as art, it is the most poigniant work to date. This album is for music lovers, not trendiods with limited tastes. :-pIt *was* still too damn short, and the live disk *was* an insult. Don't pay [too much]. :-) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Critics Are Silly Little Pieces of... *by "***" on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2002* The guy who reviewed this album at Pitchforkmedia is so so very wrong, I'm sorry, that's just my opinion, but I have to admit it -- Squarepusher is miles ahead of the pack. Nothing, really, to my ear, rivals the playfulness, complexity, and vitality of Jenkinson's work.So: reviewers (me included) begone! Ultimately, Jenkinson has to make Squarepusher for himself, and if what he's done satisfies him, then he's succeeded on the most important level. The challenges or qualities of the album will inevitably find its listeners, and if the album proves itself to be amazing, then many people will listen to the album. ...My own opinion on this record is that it is short. Perfectly short. I wouldn't want it to be longer. Last year's Go Plastic will probably be seen as one of the greatest electronic albums of all time -- it is incredibly dense, complicated, hilarious, and fully energetic, it is beyond the scope of so many artists working today that it boggles the mind, a work of pure imaginative genius -- and so I didn't want Squarepusher to release another full album too soon. I still want to savor Go Plastic.In a sense Do you Know is not actually an album, but a selection of musical foods that Jenkinson has eaten. This is a bolus of various styles, digested and turned into Squarepusher lumps. The effect is an examination of the various influences Jenkinson has seen on his music. It's like a cover record (and as a clue to that goal, ends with a very real cover of a Joy Division song). From Dj Scud to Stockhausen to Joy Division, here are Squarepusher's influences given the intense scissor cut attack he has perfected. It is a wonderful mini-album to accompany the grand overture that was Go Plastic, and shares many of its superior qualities. The wonderful thing about Jenkinson is that he never looks back, but continues to learn from his own glitches and audio graffs.Ironically, the second disc is a live album recorded last year, and it is cool, but maybe not as cool as actually seeing him, but a good taster of what it would have been like to see him that year. The name, Alive in Japan, is a bit of a joke, because Jenkinson suddenly disappeared from his N American tour with Plaid in 2001 and no one seemed to know exactly what happened. He was supposed to play a whole bunch of shows, but he was nowhere to be found. People thought he was sick, or dead, or just a jerk. Apparently, he went to Japan and kicked it there instead.
