Shaping up to be an amazing year for music, even though I didn't like his last album at all I still remain optimistic this will be a great return

Check out the clip on the warp website, the live show should be awesome too..

Also, what's your favourite album by him? Or have you never really got into it that much?

Yeah I'm stoked for this also! Great news to wake up to. I'm also waiting for Clark's 'Iradelphic' and Lone's 'Galaxy Garden'. Now we just need some BoC, Aphex Twin and Bibio and this year is gonna be amazing.

And yeah, I don't know what he was doing with that last album....My top 4 fav albums are:

1. Hard Normal Daddy
2. Go Plastic
3. Feed Me Weird Things
4. Ultravisitor

Btw, do you own that Bibio 7" Vinyl in your avatar?

I wasn't excited until I saw this quote -

‎"I've started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive" - Squarepusher

...and now I'm very excited!!!

QFT.

And that youtube clip sounds niiiiiice!

squarepusher is hit or miss for me. I like his earlier stuff, hard normal daddy, music is rotted note, etc. his later stuff just sounds pretentious and cheesy, and I can't ever seem to read a decent squarepusher interview without him sounding pompous and elite. I wish I could say 2012 is shaping up to be an amazing year for music, but so far I'm only looking forward to iradelplhic, galaxy garden, letherette (whenever it comes out) and a new fear factory album!

Agreed. For me there is Squarepusher before 2005 and after 2005.

The video above makes me very excited because it reminds me of the Square Window and Venus No. 17 releases from 2004 that accompanied Ultravistor. They seem to be hardly known, but combine the tracks and you have a perfect 35 minute EP of some of my favorite Squarepusher.

I don't unfortunately! Been meaning to get it for a while now. I finally bought IABOITC on vinyl yesterday though, can't wait to give it a spin

Interesting...

I hate it so far, and it's further proof in my eyes that Squarepusher's best years are well behind him.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

Dark Steering sounds phenomenal! Great step forward imo, interesting to hear the whole album and what it sounds like in context.

Interesting. I'm kinda expecting it's gonna be like 'Go Plastic' meets 'Shobaleader'.

sounds miles better than Shobaleader to my ears anyway

Can't get into this at all. It just sounds really cheap. Maybe it's just missing some depth as it's a radio rip but there's not much detail there. Just not very interesting.

cool

Not really sure about 'Energy Wizard' - but 'Dark Steering': nice!

This album is going to be a killer!

Check this recent live performance.

Insane! He hasn't put out music this good in years and years. Not to mention this is a pretty mind-bending video and the credits say that he did all the lighting/graphic design himself.

yesss he's back finally

I think people should start thinking about forgiving him for shobaleader
