The debut full-length from
Squarepusher is quite a jazzy affair, especially for an album appearing on the
Aphex Twin's Rephlex label. It's no less experimental than the sonic terrorism employed by the
Aphex Twin himself, but
Feed Me Weird Things keys on
Tom Jenkinson's experience as a bassist. A perfect example is "Windscale 2," which begins and ends with a bass/percussion line rooted firmly in funk; the track gradually morphs into a playful but complex jungle cut with more percussion in 30 seconds than any
Aphex Twin track (excepting possibly "Hangable Auto Bulb"). Elsewhere,
Jenkinson uses atmospherics and distortion that wouldn't sound out of place on
Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 1, but the dense jungle percussion makes this a difficult, yet ultimately rewarding album. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
