reception

The album received mostly very positive reviews.

The German music magazine Intro judged:

“The main influences on the laundry list are people like Miles Davis , Jaco Pastorius , Augustus Pablo and Aphex Twin . ... Anyone who thought that everything in the drum & bass area had already been explored should definitely get 'Feed Me Weird Things', because there are actually still a few very exquisite innovations hidden here. Heartfelt, brilliant jazz tracks that completely overwhelm me. "
