Fortunately he seems to have grown tired of this dull morass of navel-gazing. And with Go Plastic Squarepusher proves he never really lost the magic.
(Musta just been keeping it in his back pocket for a while.) Go Plastic takes the advanced rhythmic ideas of the old school drill-and-bass and applies them within a richer sonic palette. Instead of plain vanilla bass and snare hits, we now have whistles, crashes, vocal fragments, synth noises, and any toys Jenkinson could coax sounds from in his studio.
The music as a consequence becomes more multi-dimensional and energizing. You won't find any four-to-the-floor beats on this one. Instead, the rhythms sputter and splatter their way along at an often blistering pace, always changing: doubling, or swinging, or digging deep into the Latin groove.
Quiet moments (which are not common on Go Plastic) only serve to emphasize the contrast between silence and Jenkinson's dynamic-sculptural process of sound accretion. Go Plastic is not a noisy record in the slightest, even though Squarepusher shoves in a more than a few square waves here and there.

Seems I was born to love jazz. When I was in high school, my aunt told me I was very good at picking out songs from the radio on her piano. I could remember a lot from before I was 5. But I couldn’t remember her even owning a piano.
When I was 10 or 11, I finally got one of my own. My parents didn’t listen much to music. Certainly not to jazz. Then one day when I was around 15 or 16, I came home from school and turned on the TV to a new program.
The David Frost Show. The musical director, Billy Taylor, was playing piano. I didn’t know who Taylor was. Or what it was he was playing. All I knew was that I wanted to play like that.
Well, as close to that as I could. When I got to college, I took every theory course offered. Plus an improv course taught by a visiting professor named Robert Northern who was best known for playing French horn with Coltrane.
And with those tools, I was off and running. John mohegan jazz improvisation pdf viewer. My first jazz concert was Oscar Peterson at Just Jazz in Philadelphia in the early '70s. Arriving before the doors opened, I got a seat right next to the stage with a perfect view of the keyboard. Oscar had already been my first jazz album.
