Squarepusher – Be Up A Hello

not sure whats up with people's systems who are perceiving this pressing as "quiet"...

I think it's the Squarepusher album that I currently like the most. I'm not putting the others aside, but it's always changing in some way while still having that seal that you're listening to squarepusher, impeccable sound on this vinyl, I would have liked a little more art on the album, the visuals that They handled be up and hello, they are very good.

This guy is mad. Starts off real pretty and nice and goes off from there. Record sounds great but a little low. The die cuts are cool but a little cumbersome in the same pocket as the disk.

This can still be ordered, got mine today (5 Jan 2022). And Amazon (germany) still sells the mispress.

Please be warned: This is still in circulation so if you order it new you might still get the mispress. I ordered it in June 2021 (!) and got the 'bad' version.

For some reason I could still get a replacement way after April 30th

I got one of the first pressing ones, great and aggressive album, although my copy had quite a bit of surface noise on first play. It got a fair bit worse towards the end of side 1, and was overall much cleaner on side 2, though not entirely absent.

This release is a great break from the wannabes and try hards I find on the streaming apps nowadays. Perfection, beyond perfection. It leads you instead of you giving it a benefit of the doubt and helping it up the stairs. This is the idm I cherish. I want total mastery.

Awesome encore by one of the great triumvirate of game changers of the 90's (aphex n autechre). Peerless talent. Outrageous fills. Absolutely brilliant album.

the squarepusher album i've been wanting for a while. the first two tracks are nice, but then the album just gets better and glitchier as it goes on. i love how mekrev bass incorporates stuff from the "fracture" remix of vortrack. i also love how the track sounds like the drums are about to literally fall apart, slowing in tempo slightly while the track chugs on behind them, then speeding back up. ugh. love it. reminds me a ton of steinbolt off of UV. also was not expecting some excellent forays into ambient at the end of each side, so those two were a nice touch!

i personally love the packaging. the diecut sleeve is great, the prints are amazing (love that one with tom with the crystal lmao) and yeah the LP sounds amazing. even if the LP is quiet, the dynamics are still on point and the highs and lows are still nice and balanced! plus, i guess having it on a single LP as opposed to double keeps the price down, so thanks tom!!
