Why it's here

Come On My Selector: the Amen break cut past the point of sense and straight into slapstick

'Come On My Selector' catches drill'n'bass before the genre had quite named itself. Big Loada is short, fast and unusually playful for music this technically frantic, with Squarepusher sounding less interested in virtuosity than in what speed can do to a tune. The fun is what survives.
