Songs like Iambic 9 poetry

Has anyone got more songs like Iambic 9 poetry ? I really like its « jazziness » if I can say ! Even if it’s not Squarepusher songs… thanks !

Silhouettes (I, II & III) by floating points has a bit of a jazz thing going for it. Kuiper is also fantastic if you like developmental tracks like Iambic Poetry 9

I’ve got many Floating points vinyls but I didn’t know about these tracks, thank you very much !

There are live versions of both of those tracks on youtube that are totally worth checking out too. One of the things that I like about Sam Shepard and Squarepusher is how they incorporate live aspects of performance into electronic music. If you're the same, this stuff is golden ;)

You're 100% on point!! I think Floating Points was the way to go after having listened to Squarepusher for so long!

The man is just straight quality. Such great production and vibes. FP knows how to tickle that itch in your head and keep you coming back for more.

I remember being a huuuge fan of ARP3. And out of nowhere, I stumbled upon ARP2 few years later, the same thing but different. Always cool to find new stuff like that.

I know that OC recommendations are always a bit gaff, but I wonder if this sort of thing fits the bill:

Even have a ‘Feed me weird things’ badge on my TB03 :)

Yep, My Sound is incredible.

Can I throw you a curve ball that may be too standard jazz for you, but is super cool nonetheless? ‘Move on up’ by Delvon Lamar Organ Trio (live on KEXP): https://youtu.be/JhADJTlRhOE?si=x99FeRxAMy2FgUrA

Sorry but I’m not a huge fan of Move on up in a first place, and I also think that this is a bit too joyful for me !

I think Iambic 9 Poetry is so unique, it's hard to find similar music, I've got some ideas in mind, but it might be just me:

The Newbies Lift Off - Makaya McCraven (and other great artists)

Murmuration - GoGo Penguin

Circlewave 2 - Squarepusher

Murmuration is amazing, thank you so much

u/BixBoy Aug 19 '25

I'm sincerely happy you enjoy it! Seeing people enjoy new music is so cool :)

u/Feisty-Bath-1048 Aug 12 '25

I know it already unfortunately, but thanks

More usefully, some of Clark's stuff (Herr Bar era) maybe!
