Squarepusher - Ultravisitor

Everyone on here ought to check this album out! I'm not a big fan of what i heard of his earlier works, but Ultravisitor is absolutely amazing! Some of the best "IDM" in terms of sound manipulation and overall composition i've heard, and if much of it isn't to be considered "microtonal" i don't know what is.... check these samples out:

Hi Mats,

Ultravisitor rocks. Check out some of his earlier albums too.
Also his latest, Hello Everything, is kinda cool.

Microtonal, probably. Xenharmonic, no.

But I like this even more

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/googleplex

and it happens to be explicitly microtonal, and quite possibly
xenharmonic. Though that's only a small part of why I like it.
In fact, I once called it my favorite album of '01-08. Maybe a
little strong, but I still can't think of anything I clearly
like more.

cheers,

-Carl

I'm a massive fan of his work, much prefer the old stuff, though this stuff is wild too. :)

Iambic 9 Poetry is an absolutely beautiful track, and I was listening to it yesterday. I've got a question... should the guitar technique of playing harmonics be considered a kind of just intonation? I'm presuming it will be but I'm looking for clarification.. Iambic 9 Poetry is full of 'em.
