about

Another Extremities session that comprised of just three big improvisations, but this time we seemed to move in phases, 11 different phases in fact, of those phases I discarded two and ended up with the nine on this disc. "Collision Theory" amounts to a powerful outing. Only days before this (21st October) Alan, Steve & Jim had been involved in a heady inspiring session at Quad Studios "Quadelectronic 5" coincidentally the same day day as the CERN Large Hadron Collider was officially inaugerated in Geneva, Switzerland, hence the inspiration and concept of the titles!
Curious numeracy here: the previous Extremities session was 11/02, this one was 02/11, QE5 was 21/10, also 2 sections were discarded out of 11! All a coincidence?

about

Extremities Leicester, UK

After Dave Powell (master of the electronic hurdy-gurdy) joined-in on live gigs with Endgame, he also sat in on several Endgame sessions. As clearly the results were a different beast to Endgame, Extremities the quartet was formed. An occasional project, averaging one session per year, Extremities have forged a new channel between Faust-like Krautrockiness, electronic improv and NWW-esque dada. ... more
