On "Go Plastic," Squarepusher dives headfirst into a more abrasive, acid-tinged sound, largely abandoning the complex jungle rhythms of his earlier work for a sound that feels both alien and intensely physical. This album marked a significant stylistic shift, prioritizing raw energy and synthetic textures over intricate arrangements.
- "Go Plastic" was released on CD and double LP by Warp Records on June 25, 2001.
- The album features a notable lack of the complex, jazz-inflected breakbeats that characterized much of Squarepusher's earlier output, instead focusing on a harsher, more acid-house-influenced sound.
- The album's sonic palette is dominated by buzzing 303-style acid lines and driving, repetitive rhythms, creating a relentless and often claustrophobic listening experience.
Squarepusher is the electronic music alias of Tom Jenkinson, a UK-based artist known for his intricate drum programming and jazz-influenced compositions. He emerged in the mid-1990s as a key figure in the IDM and drum and bass scenes.
