about

Both Jim and Alan were making liberal use of computer based sound mangling devices on this one, alongside Steve's patent loops and collage, we also both added prepared and live percussive/rhythm elements, with Dave taking an even bigger melodic role on the hurdy-gurdy, also adding some wonderful cosmic flute. It all added up to another album that stepped on in such big leaps and bounds that we surprised ourselves.
Incidentally, during the break for dinner we listened to the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" (with music by Penderecki and Ligeti) to which Alan commented (on a discussion about being influenced by things) "well, we obviously won't ever sound like that!" - but Jim had a battery of orchestral samples at hand, and went on to prove him wrong with the totally unprecedented "Sinfonietta".

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
