Album Notes Squarepusher: Tom Jenkinson. Rather than repeat the success of his jazz-oriented 1999 IDM gem MUSIC IS ROTTED ONE NOTE, Squarepusher's Tom Jenkinson takes a sharp turn into hardcore breakbeat and drum n' bass on 2001's GO PLASTIC. The two-step-influenced opener "My Hot Red Car" is as close as the album gets to a conventional tune, with the rest of the disc careening into frenetically programmed rhythms and sonic mayhem. Challenging and confrontational, yet as carefully tailored as his more accessible work, GO PLASTIC proves that Jenkinson likes to keep his public guessing.
Editorial Reviews 9 out of 10 - ...Here's the most exciting album of the year....It doesn't just prick pomposity, it steamrollers it...you won;t hear another album like this all lifetime... NME (06/23/2001)
...A rough, complex sound...seemingly a return to his 'Ardcore roots, but updated with the caustic obsessiveness of a Richard Devine... The Wire (06/01/2001)
Ranked #4 in AP's 25 Best Albums of 2001 - ...The ultimate mindf*** album... Alternative Press (02/01/2002)
...Dazzling....In this digital mash-up, bleeps, blasts and super-speed breaks constantly morph, accelerating to a blur or suddenly grinding to a halt... Mojo (07/01/2001)
3 stars out of 5 - ...Absolutely popping with potential... Q (08/01/2001)
3 out of 5 - ...Its sudden bursts of deep dub, short-tempered thrusts of aggression and twisted genius make it the modern equivalent of a Jane's Addiction album... Mixmag (07/01/2001)
