Nothing Records
Jenkinson went on to record a few more releases under his own name, including the "Crot E.P." and "Bubble And Squeak E.P.", as well as a split with Dunderhead, called "Dragon Disc 2". In 1995, Tom began releasing music under the name Squarepusher, first appearing with the "", then following with "Alroy Road Tracks" under the name Duke Of Harringay, both on Finn's Spymania label. By 1996, Squarepusher had line up material for release at Rephlex Records, which was operated by Grant Wilson-Claridge and Richard D. James, a.k.a. Aphex Twin. Squarepusher released the "Squarepusher Plays..." 12" for Rephlex, followed by his debut album, "Feed Me Weird Things" (Jenkinson later released an album and E.P. under the name Chaos A.D. for Rephlex in 1998).
Tom Waits
"Bone Machine", Waits's first studio album in five years, was released in 1992. The stark record featured a great deal of percussion and guitar (with little piano or sax), marking another change in Waits' sound. Critic Steve Huey calls it "perhaps Tom Waits's most cohesive album... a morbid, sinister nightmare, one that applied the quirks of his experimental '80s classics to stunningly evocative—and often harrowing—effect... Waits' most affecting and powerful recording, even if it isn't his most accessible." "Bone Machine" was awarded a Grammy in the Best Alternative Album category. On December 19, 1992 "Alice", Waits's second theatrical project with Robert Wilson, premiered at the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg. Paul Schmidt adapted the text from the works of Lewis Carroll ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass", in particular), with songs by Waits and Kathleen Brennan presented as intersections with the text rather than as expansions of the story, as would be the case in conventional musical theater. These songs would be recorded by Waits as a studio album 10 years later on "Alice". 1992 also saw Waits featuring in Francis Ford Coppola's film "Bram Stoker's Dracula", as the possessed lunatic Renfield.
