Last time I was on Warpnet, there was a two minute excerpt from the new Squarepusher album in RA format. Pretty strange Mahavishnu/Mwandishi style stuff. I'm looking forward to more. >this is forwarded mail from the alt.music.techno>>>>>> >review of the new squarepusher on warp by Anders Knapstad : > > >>I just received a taped copy of the new Squarepusher album 'Music Is Rotted >One >>Note' today. >> >>Squarepusher fans bewarned: This is NOT a Squarepusher album.
