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".
Tom House (musician)
House wrote hundreds of poems during the two decades before 1997. Of these, three had been included in "The Bicentennial Edition of the Tennessee Anthology of Poetry". From 1982 to 1988, he edited and published the journal "raw bone", which was known for publishing spare, brutal writing. House's first recording to be released was "The Hank Williams Memorial Myth", a spoken-word intro to the 1996 compilation album "Nashville: The Other Side Of The Alley". In 1997, he released his debut album, "The Neighborhood Is Changing", on Checkered Past Records. The album featured multiple members of Lambchop. As of 2012, he had released a total of 13 albums.
