Just a Souvenir is his punk fusion record, and I'm quite certain that no one has ever sounded like this before. At points, Tom is clearly imbellishing on his bassy jazz sounds of yore (see Feed Me Weird Things and Hard Normal Daddy), but as the record progesses, we find ourselves listening to an alien sound, one that seems to combine the efforts of Einsturzende Neubauten, Kraftwerk, Miles Davis, and Dead Kennedys. The gritty production and deep textures give way to moments of immense beauty, deep ... Read More

This album is Squarepusher's 'Druqks'. Absolutely beautiful melodious jazzy guitar work, that leaves you (most clocks under two minutes) wanting more (like Aphex twin's piano work in Druqks). Drill and bass of different kind (not annoying kind). Synths and bongo work thrown in. Unpredictable. Twists and turns in drill and bass tunes. In state of the art sound system you will even appreciate more, when you hear texture and layers of electronic and acoustic instruments sounds free of jitter induced high ... Read More

I have considered Squarepusher to be one the more exciting and interesting things going on in music this past decade. I was also happy to come across an LP version of this album which includes a very cool poster with a very cool and far out essay by Square himself.
But alas...the great possibilities of this album are not realized. I see some other reviewers liked it but I thought it totally sucked. It sounds like [...] Surfers meets King Crimson micro waved with a thin slice of weak house ... Read More

You never know what your going to get with a Squarepusher release. 'On The Corner' style jazz, drill n bass, bouncy Big-Beat...and the list goes on ad finitum. I will say that Just A Souvenir is much easier to enjoy than it is to describe. I'm sure Tom gets a laugh out of creating music that the media cannot pigeon-hole let alone describe. There is a very late 1970's / early 1980's sound that permeates the entire release. It brings to mind Pink Floyd's 'Animals', Styx's 'Mr. Roboto', and even some ... Read More

With his twelfth album, Tom Jenkinson takes even a further departure from his staple Squarepuher sound of broken beats atop slapped bass and twisted triggers of the Amen Break. Warp's own store, Warpmart, categorizes the album as "Drum and Bass / Breakcore / Electronica", but I assure you, nothing could be further from the truth! (kind of misleading actually). Just A Souvenir is more in the realms of experimental rock and future jazz, with a touch of electronic treatment and a few very tasteful drills, ... Read More
