Just a Souvenir reveals itself to be a solid record, up there with the best of Squarepusher's work--as any good performer knows, you always leave the audience wanting more. |

Despite Jenkinson playing every instrument, including his customised six-string bass, it does sound like a group effort. |

As the languid classical guitar that dots the album brings it to a close, it hits that this 44-minute opus is perhaps more inviting, and more melodic, than anything Jenkinson has done in a long time. |

The record is neither a failure, nor can I imagine is it a pisstake. No, this is Tom Jenkinson letting out his inner rock star, letting his guard down from the laptops a little bit more, and having sloppy fun. |

A few breakneck thrash-jazz tracks, occasionally bearing a resemblance to TNT-era Torotise, make way for a distinctly downbeat end to the record. Its a shame, because Just a Souvenir really could have done without the insipidness of 'Duotone Moonbeam' or the languid 'Quadrature.' |

So even though it all adds up to Jenkinsons most human album in years, its most heartening aspect is that its still launched from his usual paradigm. |

Just A Souvenir contains more music than you might expect from two separate albums, and it's a thrilling if occasionally saturating listen. |

Ultimately, Just a Souvenir is the awesome, but hardly mind-bending, spectacle of an electronica wizard buying a fuzz box. |

Not up to par with his other albums, Tom Jenkinson's latest work is saved only by his name and not his art. |

In the end Just A Souvenir isn't quite as consistent as it could be, but it offers a nice new direction that will likely have a bit more staying power. |
