   alternatively, this song could have been made by an APC40 caged in with two or three hopping rapid hamsters.

   Bo selecta!!!

   Hahahaha! Amazing. Love it. APC is going to change the sound of electronic music. The moves this guy is making in this video on the APC's pads would have taken hours (if not days) to program into a pattern sequencer.

   That's probably the worst excuse to use the word "squarepushin".It's more like "chaotic fingering with a crappy loop in the background".

   What does randomly mashing buttons like someone having a fit have to do with squarepusher? Just like some captain beefheart can sound random to people who haven't given it time, people can think squarepusher's music is random noise – it is far from it. Squarepusher is a hugely talented artist making carefully considered virtuosic music, this is an over excited drugged horse mashing its hooves on a new toy.

   so verry true i posted a comment on the video but yea i mean what hes doing takes no thought out planning or real skill i mean any person could just push random buttons and it would sound the same or as you said hamsters, it seems like people want to be more of a perfromance deal then even good at making music kinda like deadmau5 the guy is a joke but he put on a interesting frount for his music so people think its complex or what have you when in the end the music hes making hamsters could prob make as well.

   This stuff sounds horny. He does seem happy to mash, (although a little more syncopation was present then others care to admit), but the results are self evident. Wicked! His other tracks, If this is the real Beef Wellington, are very good as well.

   He was on beat enough to copy and paste the good parts. Reminds me of the Jeremy Ellis clip from NAMM when he demonstrated Reason 4 & showed his finger drumming skills (along with keys, lyrics, & vocals, of course).
