Feed Me Weird Things is the debut studio album by English electronic musician Tom Jenkinson under the alias Squarepusher. It was released on 3 June 1996 by Rephlex Records. The album received positive reviews from critics and has been retrospectively cited as a landmark release in the drill 'n' bass subgenre. A 25th anniversary remastered edition was released on 4 June 2021 by Warp. Production Tom 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. He used his student loans to purchase much of the equipment that he utilised in recording the album. Richard D. James (also known as Aphex Twin), who co-founded Jenkinson's label Rephlex Records, selected the tracks that appeared on the final album. The tracks were mastered by Paul Solomons at the studio Porky's. Title and packaging 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'." Jenkinson collaborated on the artwork for Feed Me Weird Things with Johnny Clayton. The packaging for the album features various photographs taken by Jenkinson at different London locations in February 1996, which were subsequently edited by Clayton. The front cover photograph was taken inside a job centre in Palmers Green. The album's liner notes were penned by Richard D. James. Release Feed Me Weird Things was released on 3 June 1996 by Rephlex Records. On 4 June 2021, Warp released a remastered edition of Feed Me Weird Things for the album's 25th anniversary. Critical reception Muziks 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." Ben Willmott of NME deemed it Jenkinson's "most consistently varied, bedazzling and rounded deposit to date." New York Times critic Neil Strauss said that Jenkinson "deftly combines the laid-back cool of fusion jazz with the frenetic intensity of drum-and-bass" and "makes one realize just how wide a window of opportunity for musicians drum-and-bass has opened." At the end of 1996, The Wire named Feed Me Weird Things one of the year's 50 best records. Writing for Spin, Ken Micallef said that with Feed Me Weird Things
