Die komplette Reissue wurde von Original-DATs remastered und enthält 2 rare Bonustracks der japanischen Originalpressung sowie ein 16-seitiges Booklet mit persönlichen Fotos, Ephemera und Notizen. Wie der Großteil des Squarepusher-Schaffens zeigt auch »Feed Me Weird Things« entwaffnend komplizierte melodische Kompositionen und ausserordentlich komplexe rhythmische Sequenzen, behält dabei aber eine beeindruckende Kadenz.
Das Album war ein Schlüsselrelease des Rephlex-Labels und gilt heute als eines der besten von Squarepusher. Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) kuratierte die Tracklist aus Bändern, die Tom ihm zur Verfügung stellte, und schrieb - als einziges Mal für einen anderen Künstler - die Sleeve Notes. Starke Jazzeinflüsse und ein versiertes Bassspiel hoben Tom von seinen damaligen Zeitgenossen ab.
Aufgrund dieser Platte (plus früherer EPs) wurde Steve Beckett auf Squarepusher aufmerksam und nahm ihn bei Warp unter Vertrag.
Warp Records is delighted to announce the release of a very special anniversary edition of Squarepusher's debut album Feed Me Weird Things, virtually 25 years to the day from its original release in '96. First released on the now inactive Rephlex label, the album has not been available on streaming platforms until now and has been out of print for more than a decade. It will be reissued on vinyl (2 x 12» 1 x 10« + booklet) and deluxe casebound book CD.
This complete edition has been remastered from the original DATs and features two extra tracks which were first released on the B-side of the Squarepusher Plays… EP and later featured on the original Japanese release of this album. The edition also includes a 16 page booklet with personal photographs, ephemera and candid notes from Tom Jenkinson, throwing light on the early days of his career.
The release follows Be Up A Hello, Squarepusher's 2020 album that was filled with buoyant, dancefloor driven tracks which featured some of the same analogue and digital hardware that was used on Feed Me Weird Things. Be Up A Hello was also driven by the same hedonistic energy which is perfectly encapsulated in this pioneering album, the first tracks of which he recorded when he was only 19 years old.
Musically, Feed Me Weird Things is more expansive than the electronic sub-genres it was hemmed into at the time, as it was the first release where Tom Jenkinson highlighted his virtuosic bass playing. Like much of his output after, it also showcases disarmingly intricate melodic composition like on ‹Squarepusher Theme' and extraordinarily complex rhythmic sequences i.e. on ›Tundra‹ whilst retaining an impressive cadence.
The album was a key release for Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) and Grant Wilson-Claridge's Rephlex label and has gone on to be regarded as one of Squarepusher's best. As well as a close friendship there was perhaps a bit of healthy competition between Squarepusher and Aphex Twin at the time (Hangable Auto Bulb was released in ›95 and is cited as an influence). However, strong jazz influences and accomplished bass playing set Tom apart from his contemporaries. Richard curated the track list for Feed Me Weird Things from tapes that Tom had given him and the record includes sleeve notes written by him too, the only time he has done so for another artist.
It was on strength of this record and Squarepusher's early EPs on various labels that caught the attention of Steve Beckett who signed Tom to Warp. The Port Rhombus EP on Warp came out later the same year, with Vic Acid EP and the Hard Normal Daddy album following in 1997.
»The Squarepusher is someone who wonders what the holes of a flute sound like without the flute. Sound like sound never sounded before, Richard Rodgers and Julie Andrews gave us the Sound of music, John Cage and Simon and Garfunkel gave us the Sound of silence and now the Squarepusher gives us the SOUND of SOUND.« - PRichard.D.Jams (taken from the original ‹Feed Me Weird Things' sleevenotes)
