5.0 out of 5 stars Tempered madness, the product of a wild imagination., February 2, 1999

I bought this album in 1996 and instantly warmed to it. It was the first time I had heard drum 'n' bass warped so furiously into many different forms. Each track here is a different mood or style. 'North Circular' is intense and minimalist, 'Squarepusher Theme' is jazzy and funky, 'Tundra' and 'Theme from Ernest Borgnine' are beautifully melancholy, and 'Smedley's melody' is insanely fast and features the sound of a sheep being catapulted! The most amazing thing is Tom's fretless bass playing which features on most of the tracks, so deft and masterful. There is a wealth of ideas on this album which are so well executed it is a joy to listen to. If you are interested in Squarepusher and are wondering which of his records to buy, get this one. It's unlike anything else you'll ever hear and in my opinion the later Squarepusher albums do not gel quite as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, June 13, 2000

Feed Me Weird Things is probably the best all-around Squarepusher album there is. Musically it's the most diverse thing Jenkinson's done; there's a lot of jazz influence here, as with his other work, but there's also quite a bit of percussive-focused tracks, like "Dimotane Co." and the amazing "North Circular." "Theme to Ernest Borgnine" is simply gorgeous, and "Squarepusher Theme" is probably my favorite Squarepusher track, featuring some incredible fretless bass soloing (played live by Jenkinson himself) along with the trademark Squarepusher breakbeats. Feed Me Weird Things is an excellent introduction to Squarepusher, as it covers a lot of ground - there's something for everyone on this disc. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest mind-fuck experimental dnb album ever, October 3, 1999

This is the one. The one album which defied everything and existed without peers. From the shockingly detailed structure of the funk-jazz influenced opening track, straight onto tundra (only fsol's my-kingdom from the jan 97 broadcast comes close for me), onto the awe of Dimotane Co and the Theme From Ernest Borgnine. Every track stands on it's own feet, and offers something new and fresh to the listener. Tom - you own me. In a sentence, the electronica revolution hit a heady milestone here, rephresh yourself ;)
