Feed Me Weird Things

Feed Me Weird Things is the debut studio album by English electronic musician Tom Jenkinson under the alias Squarepusher.

[1] Jenkinson produced the tracks on Feed Me Weird Things from December 1994 to February 1996, while he was a student at Chelsea College of Art and Design.

[2] According to Jenkinson, the title Feed Me Weird Things was inspired by a conversation with Steve Beckett, a co-founder of the label Warp, "in which he told me about his girlfriend who would ask him to 'feed me drum & bass'.

[7][8] Muzik's Calvin Bush praised Feed Me Weird Things as "the kind of album Miles Davis might have made if he had been wired into breakbeats, Aphex Twin and Ninja Tune.

[20] Writing for Spin, Ken Micallef said that with Feed Me Weird Things and its follow-up Hard Normal Daddy (1997), Jenkinson "did to jungle what Frank Zappa did to rock—satirized its excesses with a maze of neurotic, scurrying notes, while adding a nerdy musicality that practically invented a new genre.

[22] Ben Cardew of Pitchfork called Feed Me Weird Things "a time capsule of the era's drill'n'bass and jazzy jungle" that demonstrated Jenkinson's innovative fusion of "the maximal drum programming of drum'n'bass" with live fretless bass guitar playing.
