Anyone like any of these people?

[Sam]

Sorry, bit of a lazy thread but I was wondering if anyone's heard of any of these people I've been digging lately:

Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher

Really amazing fusion of electronica, drum'n'bass and jazz.

Kieran Hebden aka Fourtet

A lovely mix of warm melodic ambient music and jazz/folk/guitars.

Sonny Landreth

Cajun/New Orleans blues, tons of pyrotechnics and jaw-dropping musicanship.

Tuck Andress

Fingerstyle jazz. He plays bass lines, rhythm and melodies at once and has astonishing groove and rhythm chops.

Brent Mason

Telecaster country-rock. The best there is.

Anyway, hopefully there's something of interest there, seeing as a lot of people on this forum listen to ambient and guitar music. Have a browse on Amazon and try and download some stuff of P2P - I promise you won't be dissapointed!

I like what I've heard of squarepusher but he sounds like a tosser in all his interviews. Look:

Ultravisitor is my spectacle of beauty and of terror. It is unknowable, and will never be understood by anybody, least of all its creator. It brings all the problematic figures to my mind that I have loved endlessly and yet remain as unknown to me as the first time I came across them

Hmm.

If you like Fourtet, check out Fridge, its one of Keiran Hebden's other bands. There are a few mp3s available on the Domino Records site. Please download the "Fridge- Cutup" mp3, as it is just lovely. It was also used by Morris on the first Breezeblock session he did for Radio One.

Try and get hold of "The Music Has Rotted 1 Note" by Squarepusher. For me it's his best album, although there will probably be loads of you who disagree.

It's more avant garde jazz than dnb, he plays live instruments on it as well as the usual lashings of electronic weirdness.

[Jack Skellington]

Aye, he's a bit of a mean bass player. Very talented guy is Squarepusher.

Heh, Going by one comment I wouldn't say that you could apply it to all his interviews, I also remember him saying once that if he didn't make music he'd probably kill people, so I wouldn't take everything he says too seriously. He is a bit of a mad one but he is also extremely good, 'Hard Normal Daddy' is probably my favourite.

Squarepusher rocks.

Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) produced the new James Yorkston album, which I haven't heard yet, but bodes well.

That is all.

[lew king]

no

[Ciarán2]

Er, yes. I like Squarepusher, Four Tet and Fridge. Don't know of the others, but will..."investigate".

Bah, Lew King. Poo off.

I'd say occasionally amazing, meself.  'Iambic 5 Poetry' is one my favourite pieces of music evarr, but...I dunno. I like his tune tracks best, but he doesn't do many of 'em.
