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".
Mason Dixon (band)
The group's first single, released in 1983, was a cover of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. The group was the first act to have a Top 40 Country "Billboard" single on an independent record label in the 1980s, with the release of "3935 West End Avenue" in 1987. They signed a recording contract with Capitol Nashville in 1988, who released their fifth studio album, "Exception to the Rule". Its title track was their most successful single, reaching the Top 40 of the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and No. 63 on the "RPM" Country Tracks chart in Canada. Henderson left the group in 1989, to be replaced by Terry "Caz" Casburn (vocals, bass). A second album for Capitol, "Reach for It", was completed but never released. Rick Henderson, one of the founding members of the group died in mid December 2009.
