That being said, Feed Me Weird Things is probably the best place to start for people with an itching to try Squarepusher. First off, I have to say that Jenkinson makes some of the most detailed and intricate IDM this side of Autechre or Aphex Twin.

Few things in music are more exciting than watching a new sound slowly change from being strange and unfamiliar to euphonious and pleasing. This is what has happened with the dance style drum-and-bass and its more reggae-oriented cousin, jungle, in the last few years as their unique approach to rhythm has attracted an increasingly wide array of artists. Unlike styles of dance music in which the art is in arranging samples over a steady beat, jungle and drum-and-bass (which evolved from the break-beat records that disk jockeys use as rhythmic additives to their mixes) make an art of cutting up, rearranging and accelerating drumbeats, usually over a deep, floor-shaking bass line.
Though jungle music has been on the pop charts in England for two years, it only recently made the charts here, as heard subtly in the background of Everything but the Girl's single 'Wrong.' For those who want to pursue the music, many releases in the last month show the widening range of these styles.
L. T. J. Bukem
Not only is 'L. Download program do projektowania szaf wnekowych software work. T. J. Bukem Presents Logical Progression' (FFRR) one of the most beautiful collections of progressive drum-and-bass, but it also makes the most coherent statement. On two CD's, a world of whirring beats, lush electronics and skittering sound effects slowly unfolds as some of the style's most talented disk jockeys and computer programmers -- Mr. Bukem, Photek, Peshay -- concentrate on making music that is rhythmically intricate and soothingly ambient at the same time.
Spring Heel Jack
Spring Heel Jack, the duo responsible for some of the jungle beats on Everything but the Girl's latest album, takes a pastry chef's approach to drum-and-bass, building up the music in fine, delicate layers. On its second album, '68 Million Shades . . .' (Trade 2/Island U.K.), the group, which also performs in the drone-rock band Spiritualized, merges strings and horns that sound as if they come from movie soundtracks with a beat that can fluidly change from a rapid-fire drum-machine roll to a conga rhythm.
Squarepusher
Tom Jenkinson, who records as Squarepusher, is a rarity in electronic dance music. As adept on fretless bass as he is with studio electronics, he deftly combines the laid-back cool of fusion jazz with the frenetic intensity of drum-and-bass on 'Feed Me Weird Things' (Rephlex). As the 12 songs on this CD move from the realm of Karlheinz Stockhausen to that of Jaco Pastorius, Mr. Jenkinson makes one realize just how wide a window of opportunity for musicians drum-and-bass has opened. Another interesting fusion and jungle collision is 'Deeper, Wider, Smoother' (Substance), by James Hardway, with saxophone, flute, drums and bongos jamming over drum machine cutups.
Plug
Feed Me Weird Things Squarepusher Rarity Lyrics
The sound of 'Drum-'n'-Bass for Papa' (Blue Angel), by Plug (an alias for Luke Vibert, who also records as Wagonchrist), is summed up in the title 'Subtle (In Your Face).' More minimal than the above records, the album focuses on rhythm almost exclusively. Mr. Vibert works not just with the arrangement of beats but also with their texture and timbre, often sending drum machines through a battery of effects, blurring the distinction between rhythm and melody. Also recommended is 'Drum and Space' (Omni) by Calcutta Cyber Cafe, a more atmospheric, crosscultural album by the British-Indian percussionist and producer Talvin Singh.
