As James Holden‘s much celebrated and unashamedly ambitious album statement The Inheritors and his recently-developed accompanying new sideline in synth+drums live show (together with drummer Tom Page from RocketNumberNine) lead him on to pastures new – including stadium-sized support slots for none other than Atoms For Peace on their 2013 US tour and his UK live debut here http://www.rockfeedback.
Of all the Class A synth-jams contained within James Holden’s monumental album, the tape-softened fuzziness of ‘Circle of Fifths’ may not seem like the most obvious single candidate – but in these three not-on-the-album alternative interpretations we see the foreboding-filled interlude assume surprising new proportions.
The modestly titled lead ‘Tool’ version is more of a deep-and-dirty primal club freak out that brings the gibbering of the mysterious Shimble right to the forefront, to overwhelmingly disorientating effect. The ‘Dub’ meanwhile transposes the pagan aesthetic of the album into the communal ritual of the club dancefloor, whilst the final bonus ‘Gibbersolo’ is pretty much exactly what is says and how it sounds.
