Fuck me, this Oneida album is, if you will please excuse the random hippy exclamation, 'cosmic, man'. No, really, it is, I can't get it off the stereo. Played it when I got home this afternoon at brain pummelling volume because I was alone in the house and it sounded so fucking amazing. Fortunately you all have only one week before you find out for yourselves (assuming you're all not music journos who alreday have copies too, of course). Start countin' down those days, freaks.
For the Squarepusher fans though, I'm afraid I jumoed the gun rather, because Ultravisitor isn't out until the start of March. Sorry. I should pay more attention to press releases. Or not. There is, however, hope for those who can't wait that long for new 'Pusher product. Here's what the press release says:
"In anticipation of his forthcoming album Ultravisitor, and as an exclusive to the newly launched Warp Records MP3 download site, bleep.com, two previously unreleased Squarepusher tracks will be made available on 26 January 2004.
'Square Window', a devastating electronic ballad, and the acid frenzy of 'Talk About You And Me' are not included on Ultravisitor and can only be accessed as an MP3 download via bleep.com.
There will, however, be an extremely limited 12" pressing (which also includes the album title track, 'Ultravisitor') sold in indie shops and available through warpmart.com. "
I couldn't be arsed making the links active. Use your keyboard and type, you lazy git.
And look! I havent mentioned Apple in two days... oh shit.
Oh yes you have.

Using your insider journo info do you have any idea when the Weird War album comes out? According to Drag City's website, 'If You Can't Beat 'em, Bite 'em' is out this month, but that could be just in the States. Any Svenonious release should be a high priority.
