In jewel case. The text on the back cover reads as follows: "Someone had just got glassed right in front of me at the George Robey pub, Finsbury Park, North London, and I was thinking I wish I had stayed at home in my studio. Oh, I might as well stay and watch the bloke with the bass guitar, who keeps wandering behind the Dj booth. That, I thought, is almost certainly going to be good for a laugh. The next thing I felt was a fuzzy vibration, as monophonic sound waves that had travelled from the other side of the room at the speed of light, compressing the air and displacing the smoke of ten spliffs, hit me in the ear bones simultaneously. It was Mr. Jenkinson who was turning my heartbeat into the sound of a ring piece modulated resonant phaselocked trapezoid backwards edit phlanged kick drum. He made the sound of ambulances turn into slide trombones and the sound of a secretary filing her nails into a 24-piece string section. When my partner Grant Wilson-Claridge saw Tom spasmodically twitching in order to play a funky bassline in time with a 347 bpm drum and bass track, he thought he should either be committed or recorded (fortunately he chose the latter). Undoubtedly, Tom Jenkinson is the first man in history to orchestrate an akai-seltzer fizzing a two mega byte simms memory upgrade chip (with 1 nanosecond access time) and a toilet flushing. When Mr. Jenkinson is conducting, the rest of the world is in the pit. One of his earliest experiments was recording an ant walking on sand. Unfortunately, the experiment was cut short by a cat meowing. Of course, this is not to say that Tom 'Squarepushing' Jenkinson was the first person ever to discover that the sounds of everyday life can be more melodious than the sounds of traditional music. For instance, George Bernard Shaw once said, "Nothing soothes me more after a long day of pianoforte recitals, than to sit and have my teeth drilled." The Squarepusher is someone who wonders wh |

The Squarepusher is someone who wonders what the holes of a flute sound like without the flute. Sound like sound never sounded before, Richard Rodgers and Julie Andrews gave us the sound of music, John Cage and Simon and Garfunkel gave us the sound of silence and now the Squarepusher gives us the SOUND of SOUND. - PRichard.D.Jams" |

Feed Me Weird Things is [] release of his I'd buy. Can you still buy the 12" of this or is it out of press? |

My crystal ball tells me you will have to get it second hand. It is also telling me that Prichard D. Jams may be a fake name! Who could it be? |

Yeah, Tundra was one of my fave Squarepusher tracks. Along with Snake Pass which isn't that far away from Rushup Edge if you look on a map. |

+ i think big loada is really the best album from squarepusher just cool drumnbass where he is good at full rinse is really the most mental jungle things ever he definately should make more jungle |

yep that piece of text grabbed me back in 1996 and it still resonates today when you look at TJ's last works.... live at electric ballroom, breezeblock, hello everything. i'd love another Go Plastic digital extremness with the accompanying live shows. Glade2 was scarey also but i'll mss him this year again. Nobody's come close to Squarepusher for solo vibrancy and energy. Rrrrrripppin |

"Men Records" look it up on teh internets...... Good luck. |
||||||||

|

|

It also says it on the LP..... P.S. It really bugs me that they say: "monophonic sound waves that had travelled from the other side of the room at the speed of light" surely the speed of sound?? Sorry for being such a pedant, but it stands out like a sore thumb to me. |

you have all the right to say that, cause it is pretty stupid. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

you're meant to take it very seriously. |
||||||||
|

dave_g, no he means the speed of light. saying traveled at the speed of sound is redundant; |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i doubt the sound waves travelled at the speed of light even if Tom played his bass guitar really really quickly. saying speed of sound is probably redundant saying speed of light is clearly wrong. also the best track is clearly the squarepusher theme or whatever its called (theme from squarepusher?) or something. quality. |

I think it was a metaphor for the bpm speed. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ya, you are missing the point entirely. it's not to be literal. it's just "fun" talk....like displacing the smoke of ten spliffs. shall i go on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, you've got it COMPLETELY and utterly wrong. pusher can play bass with sound traveling at speed of light because prichard d. jams said so. |

heard mr.pusher at glastonbury this year (07) twas really good. nice sound from where i was standing too ....i swear when he slapped his bass it felt like he was punching me. but my ears didnt hurt ....and i really enjoyed the punching of my internal organs, the mid to high was just right. he got some nice tunes for his live set. |
