Unlike most techno/electronica produced since the mid 90's, this song still sounds fresh.
This is a simple song where the drummer gets a chance to let loose.
I haven't played it myself yet, but it has everything that I would want in a jazz cover song.
It's easy to sight read and is amenable to creative interpretation, it's also a little subversive,(thanks to the pseudo-pornographic lyrics), and is totally off the radar of most jazz players.
Many fans of Squarepusher,(AKA, Tom Jenkinson) may not know that he is quite an accomplished bassist and has released some interesting jazz/avant-garde solo stuff which is not too hard to find.
Here is a video featuring some vintage kung-fu.
