Squarepusher is anything but new.

He was pioneering what would soon become "electronica" when Trent was still pushing his hot-topic centric electronic angst rock.

Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher) along with Aphex and Autechre, basically created IDM (which turned into "electronica" once stupid marketing losers in the US got hold of it) back in the early 90's. He's got a shitload of releases and is one of the most influential electronic musicians of all time.

And dont get me started on the shitstorm that is Daft Punk. First of all, they came well after underground electronic music was already a global phenomenon, and second, their special blend of stealing other ppls music and putting a weak house beat underneath is pure garbage by most music snobs standards. To even mention them in a thread about Squarepusher is sacrilege.

>> ^kceaton1:

It reminds me of when people in the past used to ask me for good examples of electronic type music. I used to use The Fragile (two-disc album by NiN, if you don't have it do yourself a favor and get it) as an example for it (at the time Massive Attack was great as was Sneaker Pimps, but I was aiming for something U.S. centric), though I had to remind them that "The Fragile" was really a mix of rock and electronic. But, there are some tracks on "The Fragile" that ARE electronic(a). The track used for the very popular 300 trailer (you could say due to that track--if you haven't heard the song do yourself a favor and go listen now), "Just Like You Imagined" really helped showcase Trent Reznor's ability in electronic(a).
This was again proved when he won (with the great Atticus Ross as well) best musical score for The Social Network, which was essentially an entirely electronic album (Tron:Legacy of the same year included a soundtrack that was also electronic by the ever popular Daft Punk).
It's some of these past masters in this music category that you find this new generation of GOOD musical artists.

I really enjoyed Chris Corner's other project IAMX

I will pine away for you, and wait until Rottenseed has had his fill of dinosaur comics.

Ah, Rollins is just displaying his ignorance. For every terrible run-of-the-mill dance track or mindless slab of Eurodisco, there's something amazing by Orbital, Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, Lemon Jelly, Portishead, Basement Jaxx, Leftfield...
you forgot zero 7,gotan project,dead can dance,amon tobin,sneaker pimps.
those are actual bands...they play instruments..trip hop is amazing.
again,as i stated..i like techno,but i do not agree that having the ability to use reson or acid pro should be a validation of supremacy over actual musicianship.
talented?creative? of course.
more relevant than actual musicians? never.
the bands you posted are just that...bands.
oh..and i am in LOVE with beth gibbons!!!!

Linked my selflinks, i swear it was random

Jeff Metal: Spooky
Squarepusher: Ultravisitor
Daft Punk: Alive
The Specials: Monkey Man
Yasson, Keith and Alex: Submersive Didj
Benny Page: Indian Drums (the tabla sample from Sneaker Pimp on Cutterz Choice)
Some unlabelled dubstep mp3
Mikee Liks: Loving You
Mikee Liks: Soul Deep
DJ Shadow and Automator: My Guru

I'm quite pleased how that worked out. Funny thing is i play so much Mikee Liks on the radio it became a running joke, and now even my iTunes is in on the joke.

From the Bootsy Collins album of the same name. For some reason it doesn't look like it was ever released stateside. It's fun, but a little cheesy.

Oh and Kelli Ali used to be w/ the Sneaker Pimps.

This joins Sneaker Pimps in my list of "forgotten but very much loved" clips. Great vid!

I always kinda liked this one even better:
