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".
Gordon Jenkins
After a brief stint with RCA's "X" records, Jenkins later moved to Capitol Records where he worked with Frank Sinatra, notably on the albums "Where Are You?" (1957) and "No One Cares" (1959), and Nat King Cole, with whom he had his greatest successes; Jenkins was responsible for the lush arrangements on the 1957 album "Love Is the Thing" (Capitol's first stereo release, which included "When I Fall in Love", one of Cole's best-known recordings), as well as the albums "The Very Thought of You" (1958) and "Where Did Everyone Go?" (1963). Jenkins also wrote the music and lyrics for Judy Garland's 1959 album "The Letter" which also featured vocalist Charles LaVere, and conducted several of Garland's London concerts in the early 1960s.
