Squarepusher
At this time, Tom was becoming obsessed with bringing a "dark psychedelia" to Drum and Bass (which would eventually reach its zenith with "Go Plastic" from 2001).
During this period Tom also made a remix for Ninja Tune's DJ Food, which featured on the e.p. "Refried Food". The remix led Ninja Tune to offer Jenkinson a record contract, which along with an offer from Belgium's R&S records he declined in favour of a contract offered by Warp Records, which was partially instigated by Richard D. James.
Correspondence between Richard D. James and Tom Jenkinson sprung up after meeting at The George Robey. The resulting meeting led to Tom's first hearing of the "Hangable Auto Bulb" e.p. which Richard had brought with him. But the meeting also facilitated Richard's initial selection of Tom's tracks that went on to form the "Feed Me Weird Things" album released on Rephlex Records in 1996.
David Clayton-Thomas
In 1972 Thomas released his first Columbia solo album after BS&T, simply titled "David Clayton Thomas". In 1973 the second solo album "Tequila Sunrise" was issued by Columbia. In 1974 he issued the "Harmony Junction" album on RCA. In 1975 Thomas returned to front Blood Sweat & Tears again on the Columbia albums "New City" and, in 1976, "More Than Ever". In 1977 they released "Brand New Day" on the ABC label. In 1978 Thomas issued another solo album on ABC, titled simply "Clayton". In 1980 BS&T issued the MCA album "Nuclear Blues", which also included Thomas. Later in the decade Columbia issued the double live BS&T album "Live And Improvised" again with Thomas. In 2004, Clayton-Thomas left New York for Toronto and launched an All-Star 10-piece band. Since then, he has toured and recorded almost a dozen albums under his own name.
