Music Is Rotted One Note is the third full-length album released by Squarepusher, on UK electronica label Warp.
Contents
Following the abrasive sounds of Hard Normal Daddy and the drum and bass feel of the Big Loada EP, Music Is Rotted One Note has a far more relaxed, abstract sound, owing much to both jazz and electroacoustic music.
Overview
The album production did not involve any sequencing or sampling equipment, which had featured heavily on Squarepusher's previous work. Many of the tracks instead have a 'live' feel, featuring virtuoso playing by Squarepusher on the drums and bass guitar. His own comments on the album include:
Reception
The album won critical praise, with notable inclusion in Pitchfork Media's Top 100 Albums of the 1990s.
