Go Plastic is the fifth studio album by British electronic musician Tom Jenkinson, under the alias of Squarepusher.
[3] Unlike many of his earlier albums such as Hard Normal Daddy and Music Is Rotted One Note, which often prominently featured live instrumentation (particularly drums and bass guitar), the sound palette on Go Plastic is almost exclusively synthetic, with an emphasis on high-velocity breakbeats subjected to extensive manipulation and granular effects.
In a contemporaneous interview, Squarepusher claimed to be "fed up" with real instruments, wanting everything "brutal and digital.
"[4] Despite this, Squarepusher claims that the album was not produced using a computer, but rather by utilizing a range of hardware including the Eventide DSP4000 and Eventide Orville digital effects processors, Yamaha QY700 sequencers, Yamaha TX81Z and FS1R synthesizers, and an Akai S6000 sampler.
[7] In 2015, Exclaim placed it at number 2 on its list of "an essential guide to Squarepusher".
