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".
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.
