... That's what makes "Ultravisitor" both denser and more panoramic. I couldn't possibly go into details concerning both the lushness and the harshness, the beauty and the edge of Tom Jenkinson's new sound on "Ultravisitor". Instead, I will briefly glide over the album's range of styles, focussing ... Read review

It's been a slow, almost imperceptible evolution, but on Ultravisitor, the seventh album ... more
from Tom Jenkinson's Squarepusher project, we
finally see this Chelmsford-based electronica guru
shrugging off the rather primitive drill 'n' bass
tag, and maturing into a fully-fledged musical
auteur. Look at him on that sleeve, all serious
stare and mutton-chop sideburns: this record feels
like a conscious attempt to install Jenkinson into
a serious musical canon alongside his obvious
heroes John Cage, Miles Davies and Sun Ra. It's a
good try, as over these 70-odd minutes of
electro-rave mayhem and frighteningly complex
jazz-fusion improv, Jenkinson shows absolutely no
sign of slowing his dizzying inventive velocity.
The flirtation with UK garage that formed the
synthetic exoskeleton of 2001's My Red Hot Car is
sadly absent, but pieces such as "Menelee" and
"Steinbolt" demonstrate fresh fascination for all
manner of mutant strains of electronic hardcore
and urban junglism, and fill the gap admirably.
Elsewhere, we find Jenkinson's passion for live
instrumentation more pronounced than at any time
since 1998's "Music Is Rotted One Note". This
isn't always a good thing. The thrumming,
masturbatory bass-soloing of "C-Town Smash" takes
jazz proficiency into new realms of
ridiculousness. But "I Fulcrum" carries the
interstellar legacy of Sun Ra into as-yet
undiscovered galaxies, and "Iambic 9 Poetry"
proves Jenkinson's gift for melody remains
gloriously intact, a perfect example of chiming
instrumental clarity amid the deranged chatter of
machine-code chaos. --Louis Pattison

²p #9 - A trip beyond techno with Tom Jenkinson.
Review of Ultravisitor - Squarepusher by knight_of_the_soundtable

Advantages: jazz 'n drill, drum 'n bass, mind ping-pong & intelligent techno (NOT dance music!)
Disadvantages: before listening to SQUAREPUSHER, a sound introduction to psychedelic, polyrhythmic, progressive electronica is highly recommendable

. Tom Jenkinson a. k. a. SQUAREPUSHER makes the kind of music that might get stressful and annoying at times but which will never get boring or stale. Dabbling in electronic music since 1995, he has since become a master in the art, and is known for his chaffing breakbeats and dentist's drill sounds. However, he also plays the bass and has bona fide jazz influences. Quite often he samples himself to get raw material for his painstakingly constructed ...
...de-constructing and re-assembling rhythms and you'll have to talk about Tom Jenkinson. He is to drum 'n bass what Jimi Hendrix was to rock 'n roll: desecrator of mausoleums, resurrector of spirits, innovator of styles. SQUAREPUSHER might not be as well-known as his label-mate (Warp & Rephlex records) Richard D. James (a. k. a. APHEX TWIN), but he is at least as important in terms of musical endeavours into the hitherto unthinkable. Just about three ... Read review
