Squarepusher that is... Two exclusive rarities are being released as downloads ahead of the forthcoming album Ultravisitor.

Ultravisitor by Squarepusher

Squarepusher that is. In anticipation of Squarepusher’s forthcoming - ninth - album, Ultravisitor in March - and as an exclusive to the newly launched Warp Records download site, two previously unreleased Squarepusher tracks have just been made available to the online community.

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 the Warp site - 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.

Sinfonietta

As part of a Contemporary Music Network live tour in March, Squarepusher, together with the London Sinfonietta, will collaborate in an historic meeting of traditional and contemporary musical ideas.

The album tracklisting looks like this:

1. Ultravisitor
2. I Fulcrum
3. Iambic 9 Poetry
4. Andrei
5. 50 Cycles
6. Menelec
7. C-Town Smash
8. Steinbolt
9. An Arched Pathway
10. Telluric Piece
11. District Line II
12. Circlewave
13. Tetra-Sync
14. Tommib Help Buss
15. Everyday I Love

A continuation of the Warp Works and 20th Century Masters event that debuted at the 2003 Ether Festival, this year Squarepusher and Jamie Lidell will tour with the London Sinfonietta for five UK dates, their music heard alongside the London Sinfonietta’s performance of works by pioneering classical composers Reich, Cage, Antheil, Varèse as well as three new pieces by Aphex Twin.

Praised as "a brilliantly conceived concert" by New York Times, the 2004 event promises to be spectacular.

Ultravisitor is out now, on Warp Records.
