An album beloved of fans since its release in March 2004, Ultravisitor is one of the most popular records in Squarepusher’s discography. A distinctive blend of studio and live recordings, it’s an excellent showcase for the diversity of his music; from the anthemic title track, through the breakneck mayhem of ‘Steinbolt’, to the sunlit bliss of ‘Tommib Help Buss’ and beyond.
For the 20th anniversary, Warp is proud to present this expanded deluxe version – a limited edition one-time pressing, carefully remastered from the original recordings by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and overseen by Tom Jenkinson. Never entirely satisfied with the sound of the original release, Tom has relished the opportunity to bring out fresh dynamics and detail in the tracks.
Bonus album Venus No.17 Maximised is compiled from material originally released as part of the Ultravisitor promo EP, released 26 January 2004; the Square Window 3” CD, a free bonus disc given out with WarpMart pre-orders of the Ultravisitor album and theVenus No.17 EP. The accompanying booklet contains photographs, posters and recording documentation from Tom’s archive.
Ultravisitor (20th Anniversary Edition) will be available on October 25th via Warp Records. On streaming services, the existing Ultravisitor and Venus No.17 will be refreshed as Ultravisitor (Remastered) and Venus No.17 Maximised, which includes the original EP as well as tracks from Square Window that have previously never been available digitally.
