Actually he does quit a few squarepusher covers,and he does them very well.True he does have his own style but no doubt influenced by Tom Jenkings.They might even be friends...He hasn't put out a album in like 10 years though.I've been waiting.

nah, i don't see many similarities between squarepusher and the clifford gilberto rhythm combination. clifford is more like acid jazz... squarepusher doesn't really go for that sound.
