An album beloved by fans since its release in March 2004, Ultravisitor is one of the most popular records in Squarepusher’s entire discography. A unique blend of studio and live recordings, it’s an excellent showcase for the diversity of his music: from the frenetic title track to the funky jazz of “Iambic 9 Poetry” 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 tapes by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and overseen by Tom Jenkinson. Never entirely happy with the sound of the original release, Tom has relished the opportunity to revisit the tapes, bringing out fresh dynamics and details in the tracks.
The bonus album Venus No.17 Maximised is compiled from tracks originally released as part of the Ultravisitor promo EP (released January 26, 2004), the Square Window 3” CD (a free bonus disc given out with WarpMart pre-orders of the Ultravisitor album), and the Venus No.17 EP. The accompanying booklet contains rare photos, flyers, and recording documentation.
