Ok heres my question...

I heard that Tom helped Broadcast with something and that he
produced two tracks for their first or second album.

What exactly did he produce for Broadcast?

Wich tracks?

Thanx for the help

"Until, that is, the trail appeared to go dead. Sometime in
1997, Broadcast began the tortuous process of recording what
would eventually become The Noise Made By People. Various
producers were summoned, dismissed, walked out. Progress
stalled, the awful prospect of a band with such a firm
vision unable to fully present it loomed large. Even Tom
'Squarepusher' Jenkinson, a man not known for exactly
dwelling on his tunes, stopped by and tried to teach them
how to loosen up.

Apparently, it worked. Broadcast set up their own studio at
the Custard Factory in Birmingham, figured out how to use
it, and started the job in earnest. Hammer Without A Master
- a glowering instrumental that sounded industrial, but
nothing like industrial music - appeared on Warp 100, the
exemplary We Are Reasonable People compilation. Until the
end of 1999 and the release of the stark, uneasy Echo's
Answer, they seemed to play little more than once a year -
at Meltdown in summer '98, amidst the cream of Warp's
roster, then again at Belle & Sebastian's Bowlie Weekender
in spring '99. Adopted by both extremes, fitting neatly into
neither. "

From Warprecords.com

"Even Squarepusher Tom Jenkinson was temporarily brought
into the fold to unblock the impasse. “At this stage we
were really sick of the whole thing,” recalls Roj. “The
looseness in approach really helped, it was like going to a
relaxation class. Keith (York, the group’s reserve
drummer) and Tom would hand us items of percussion to play
and it was like that film Awakenings when they throw the
ball to the catatonic patients and they respond. You
suddenly came to life and thought ‘I can enjoy this’.”
“It didn’t teach us anything technical,” admits James,
“it was more about absorbing that attitude.”

Sounds as if he just helped em to relax in the studio...&
his production duties didn't go much beyond that...
