Philip Glass - The Photographer

I first heard this album when I borrowed cassettes of it and Klaus Schulze's "Dig It" from the Manchester Central Library at some point in the early 90s.

My Favourite Squarepusher Album


There's some strong contenders, but right now, after having a Squarepusher-heavy week, I'd have to say it's Hello Everything. 

It's his most consistently brilliant release - still full of invention, but with some of the rough edges smoothed and much of the jazz experimentation reigned in and focussed into some great tunes. Even then, there's still time for the very wonderfully daft "try every sound" insanity that is The Modern Bass Guitar.
