Still sounding like no other artist on the planet--whether because of talent or intent--Squarepusher succeeds again with a radical, challenging piece of music.
-
Just a Souvenir reveals itself to be a solid record, up there with the best of Squarepusher's work--as any good performer knows, you always leave the audience wanting more.
-
As the languid classical guitar that dots the album brings it to a close, it hits that this 44-minute opus is perhaps more inviting, and more melodic, than anything Jenkinson has done in a long time.
-
Under The RadarLike any jam band, Squarepusher begins to outstay his welcome after the noisy bass and drum kit duke- out of “Planet Gear.” Thankfully, the idyllic guitars of 'The Glass Road’s' and 'Yes Sequitir’s' idyllic guitars and the retro-futuristic computer voice of 'The Coathangars’s' retro-futuristic computer voice keep these heavenly interstellar jams from sounding too analogous. [Year End 2008]

The record is neither a failure, nor can I imagine is it a pisstake. No, this is Tom Jenkinson letting out his inner rock star, letting his guard down from the laptops a little bit more, and having sloppy fun.

Q MagazineExhuasting but rewarding too. [Dec 2008, p.135]
-
Not up to par with his other albums, Tom Jenkinson's latest work is saved only by his name and not his art.
