5 out of 5 stars *Get Selection Sixteen B4 you buy any other Squarepusher CD*.......2002-09-18

This is definitely the best Squarepusher Cd. I recommend Selection Sixteen to anyone who has not yet experienced Squarepusher. This CD is a trip. Eacg track is unique in its own weird way and it is good from start to finish. If you like Aphex Twin- I know you will love this- it's on my top ten list of favorite CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Squarepusher at his definitive peak.......2002-07-22

This album truly is Tom Jenkinson at his peak. There are plenty of overlapping synths complementing each other as if if were a day at the symphony. There are funk elements scattered throughout the recording in the form of Jenkinson's highly conceptualized bass style, and there are free-form jazz interludes that lead into the extreme beauty of the full-on electronic onslaughts.

There is something that sets this album apart from Squarepusher's other albums. In most of Squarepusher's discography, the drums are brought to the forefront to precisely compliment the melodies. Here, they are subdued, giving Jenkinson's melodical skills a chance to shine. The complexity in the drum work is on par with the rest of his albums, but for some reason, he seemed to turn down the volume on them. This is a very good thing when speaking in terms of an album such as this. This is the album where Jenkinson went straight into composing melodies as if it were to be played by an orchestra. There are so many synth tracks working together on this album that a turned up drum track would only hinder their splendor and beauty.

I am sure that there are some people out there that do not like this album or would not like it if they bought it. I do not really see how a person couldn't like such a classic example of beauty, but an opinion shouldn't be criticized. I don't really think it matters what type of music you are used to listening to, beauty is beauty no matter what form it comes in, and this is truly an album the conceptualizes it well.

4 out of 5 stars Difficult at first.......2002-03-11

This CD (which I bought in a Missing shop in Glasgow, U.K.) was quite surprising to me. I found some of the techno tracks humourous and other drill 'n' bass tracks to be difficult in access. Overall I like it though.

4 out of 5 stars Everything Squarepusher.......2002-01-12

This is one of three albums released in North America by Nothing Records, prior to Warp (UK) opening shop in NY. The other releases are on Warp. Actual tracklisting is this: 01 The Eye 02 Square Rave 03 Time Borb 04 Dedicated Loop 05 Tomorrow World 06 Cool Veil 07 Schizm Track #1 08 Free Way 09 Snake Pass 10 Yo 11 Mind Rubbers 12 Tesko 13 Acid Tape Track 14 8 Bit Mix #1 - (bonus track) 15 8 Bit Mix #2 - (bonus track) 16 Schizm Track #2 Mix - (bonus track) 17 Ceephax Mix - (Andy Jenkinson remix, bonus track). Everything is here, from techno to drill-and-bass to ambient to jazz. It's hard not to believe that Tom Jenkinson has covered all the electronica bases, and then some. It's wonderful that he can be so eclectic and technically proficient without losing sight of melody and improvisation. "Tomorrow World" is my favourite track from this album.

5 out of 5 stars Squarepusher is a GENIUS!!!.......2001-06-24

This cat is what is missing from electronic music today. Mind Rubbers is what DnB is lacking and needs desparately. If there was ever a CD to bug out to, this is it. Inspirational...

5 out of 5 stars Squarepusher does it again........2004-04-18

If you can't enjoy Squarepusher simply because of the fact that there are no lyrics, you're a fool. This isn't supposed to be hip-hop, so please don't compare to Bone Thugs or Outkast. This is idm/jazz at it's finest. So if you're looking for something to "sing along with" like some mindless parrot, steer clear, but if you're looking for an album that will make your jaw drop to the floor and amaze you every time you listen to it, Squarepusher will never let you down.

4 out of 5 stars Squarepooper: What Genius!!!!1!1one.......2004-04-17

My, how did people with such a low intellect even come to find who Squarepusher is? Bone Thugs, trying to edit the work 'heck', and lack of vocals? Why are you even in this genre? What wanks.

This album, which isn't his best material, is still a very nice listen. The bonus tracks seem to give more of a fulfilment when finished. Compared to his newer, and even some of his older, works, this seems very thin. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just that his later albums have more of a personality to them. Kind of a completist's thing to get, really.

5 out of 5 stars Great disc by Squarepusher.......2004-01-28

After listening to a lot of his music, spanning from his first stuff to his newest, I like this one the best, right next to Big Loada. It's more straightforward than a lot of his stuff, but it got a great feel to it.

Those reviews above about the fact that there is no lyrics is hilarious. Vocals don't always make better music. I prefer no vocs, hence this is a great disc, buy if you like Drum and Bass/Jazz, and otherwise unique and creative music.

Bone thugs,... hehe.

1 out of 5 stars Vastly Disappointing.......2003-12-27

I have to say i tried to listen to this with an open mind. but you know, there just aren't any lyrics? What the H*ECK am i supposed to listen to? i don't quite agree with the first reviewer, as i don't like bone thugz n harmony, but having just listened to Hey Ya! for 3 days straight, i find this really lacking. especially compared to mister Tom's prior releases, this blows.

If you want finely crafted music with spot on vocals, you just can't beat Merzbow. Much better than squarepooper.

1 out of 5 stars More like squarePOOPER!.......2003-10-30

SquarePUSHER? More lik,e SQUAREPOOPER!
