25TH ANNIVERSARY RE-ISSUE: 2LP + 10" TRANSPARENT VINYL EDITION. REMASTERED INCLUDING TWO ADDITIONAL TRACKS + BOOKLET AND D/LOAD CODE). 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. 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, dance-floor 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.Tracklisting Squarepusher Theme Tundra The Swifty Dimotane Co Smedleys Melody Windscale 2 North Circular Goodnight Jade Theme From Ernest Borgnine U.F.O.'s Over Leytonstone Kodack Future Gibbon Theme from Goodbye Renaldo Deep Fried Pizza
