I'm guessing this one came up in response to the question, "What else sounds like Bitches Brew?" Some come close: Squarepusher is a drum'n'bass guy, but the majority of this 1998 album falls squarely in the jazz-funk fusion camp. While some is reminiscent of late Miles, I'd say it's even closer to some of Crossings and Sextant-era Herbie Hancock, as there's a good bit of keyboard noodling served up here.
Still, if I wanted to hear this kind of sound, I'd rather reach for any of about half a dozen Miles Davis albums. Which is not to say I'm done with Squarepusher, as I may check out the album that came before this one, Hard Normal Daddy.
