Squarepusher
Using the same equipment from the sessions that produced the majority of "Feed Me Weird Things" Tom now set about working on the material for his first album for Warp. His broad conception for this record was "to push away from the jazz influence that was being felt at the time to a more soundtrack-type of sound". According to Tom he was listening to, amongst other things, early Lalo Schifrin and the "Deathwish" soundtrack by Herbie Hancock around this time. That said, the album also contains some abrupt diversions into quite different musical territory, evidenced in what Tom calls the "Industrial Psychedelia" of "Chin Hippy" and "Rustic Raver".
James Asher
Asher had written and had published library music albums, including "Gyroscope", "Generation Gap", "Electro FX", "Flash Music", and "Working It Out" for Bruton Music (now owned by Universal). Also albums for Studio G library – "Action Disco", "Flying Colours", "Powerhouse", "Powergame", "Science and Space", "Corporate Collection" (now owned by Downtown Music) and "Intervision" and "Time Cycle" for the Southern library. "The Great Wheel", Asher's first commercial album, originally on his own Lumina label with publisher John Gale, was released by Music West, topping the UK New Age music chart for two years. He followed this with his first world music-flavoured release "Globalarium", released by Silverwave. But it was his album "Feet in the Soil" that really built his profile, with sales of over 250,000 units, released by New Earth Records.
