Squarepusher – Hard Normal Daddy

No one gave a fuck
For so long
My originals. Wore out years ago
For more of the jazzier side of Pusher,s IDM
Go find squarepushers theme

Right, this here is a fucking need for my collection

I received a copy as a gift that came with two printed 8 1/2” x 11” papers which seem like promotional hype text or similar – anybody know more about these? Seems like a cool artifact: https://i.imgur.com/XYQnvO6.jpeg

As for the release itself, the records sound great though the cardboard jacket is shockingly flimsy. Mine came in a soft plastic outer sleeve which seems like it is part of the original package given how flimsy the jacket is.

Literally his best album. Each track feels perfect where it is and there are literally no tracks which I would rate below 8/10. All bangers, incredible work. Squarepusher varies between more electronic and more jazzy work on what seems like a scale and for me this hits the perfect balance in fusion between the two styles.

This would be one of my top ten desert island picks, Rave Jazz at its finest. A true classic. Along with Big Loada it represents some of the finest moments of 90's electronic music.

Still loving the LP after i bought it new on CD that memorable day we all did mushrooms in my student house ha..

25 today, what a benchmark!!! Love this album as a bassist ever since!

25th anniversary of arguably tom's best album... still hoping for a reissue!!

We need a reissue of this gem, dear WARP. Thanks.

Decided to pick this up earlier this year. It's an astonishing pressing with remarkable bass, I mean SERIOUS bass, evident tape hiss (Jenkinson recorded most of his stuff on tape prior to around 2001/02 according to an interview) which only adds to the experience, almost un-Godly amounts of slam, punch, and spaciousness. Also got Ultravisitor on LP which I think is his "genius" album but this is a VERY GOOD runner-up.
