Track Review: "Circlewave"
Track 12 on Squarepusher's Ultravisitor.
The reason why I'm reviewing a single track as opposed to an album is because this track is amazingly well put together, and, more importantly, I don't own Ultravisitor. The reason I chose this track specifically is because it progresses amazingly. The first minute and a half is general drum-chaos, with little beat or order. The first stage wraps up by the drums slowing down and then they are joined by a keyboard in a series of 1/4-note beats, setting the stage for a generally organized progression for the next three minutes. By the time the second bassline comes in, the order begins to descend into general chaos once more. The drums start to flail and lose order, and soon the instruments are "missing" the marks. A cacophony of various noises grows along with the time-chaos, culminating in the sudden ending. It could be described as philosophical if one wanted, but I'm not about to do something so elitist.
Obviously, hearing the song would clarify what is being said above.
