トム・ジェンキンソンによるスクエアプッシャーのセカンド・アルバム(日本デビュー作)。自ら弾くエレキ・ベースの音とブレイク・ビーツなどがブレンドしたサウンドで,フュージョン,ジャングル・アンビエントといった言葉が自然に浮かんでは消えていく。
From Amazon.co.uk
The fusion of jazz and drum & bass has become the toast of the chattering classes, throwing up a canon of overlong epics like Goldie's
Saturn Returnz. What a relief, then, for Squarepusher;
Hard Normal Daddy comes as a gleefully psychotic antidote to such
Tubular Bells-esque pomposity. In the spirit of Warp Records' prolific, dazzling, but sometimes difficult output,
Hard Normal Daddy is a trailblazing work of half-mad genius. It's also the sort of record that might force your neighbours to buy earplugs. Shrugging off lightweight soundscapes with a pneumatic battery of drum & bass and cut-glass jazz, and forever goading you--the confused and frightened listener--to keep up the pace, the likes of "Vic Acid" are high-tempo blasts of solidified confusion. No, it isn't coffee table music. But whatever you do, don't try and dance to it either.
--Louis Pattison
