Nothing Records
Shortly after the release of "Feed Me Weird Things", Squarepusher released his first music for Warp Records in the form of the "Port Rhombus EP" in 1996. Jenkinson signed a multi-album deal with Warp and the label would become his long-time and primary home. The "Vic Acid" EP was released in 1997, followed by his sophomore full-length, "Hard Normal Daddy". Later that year, Warp and Sypmania would co-release "Burningn'n Tree", which compiled the "Conumber E:P" and "Alroy Road Tracks", alongsing three previously unreleased tracks.
Tom Waits
Waits released "Real Gone", his first nontheatrical studio album since "Mule Variations", in 2004. It is Waits's only album to date to feature absolutely no piano on any of its tracks. Waits beatboxes on the opening track, "Top of the Hill", and most of the album's songs begin with Waits's "vocal percussion" improvisations. It is also more rock-oriented, with less blues influence than he has previously demonstrated. The same year, Waits contributed backing vocals to the track "Go Tell It on the Mountain" on the Grammy Award (Best Traditional Gospel Album)-winning album of the same name by the Blind Boys of Alabama. He also contributed a version of Daniel Johnston's "King Kong" to the tribute album "", released on Gammon Records.
