Warp have a long-trodden history of throwing curve-balls, IÆm sure
you all remember being shocked at their knife-glamorising
æSatanstornadeÆ record with noisemongers Masami Akita and Russell
Haswell, and do I need to mention Maximo Park? Yes they seem not
give a monkeys what the world thinks sometimes, and good on æem -
this latest disc shows them on top genre bending, assumption
confounding form. Okay so itÆs related to Mira Calix and the
London Sinfonietta, but thatÆs where the Warp connections start
and end, AlexanderÆs AnnexeÆs debut disc is out on its own here.
Comprised of a single thirty minute piece which the trio debuted
at the 2005 Aldeburgh Festival, it shows off the three musicians
skills marvellously.- Mira Calix gets to flex her sound processing
muscle, Sarah Nicolls holds the piece together with her incredible
work on the piano and David Sheppard holds everything together
with his expertise as a Sinfonietta principle. The resulting noise
is more than appealing, ranging from the minute scratching and
squeaking of tiny mechanical creatures to bass heavy drones
straight out of Sunn O)))Æs back catalogue. Clearly the trio have
looked to the mid 20th century innovators such as John Cage,
Iannis Xennakis and Luciano Berrio, but the sound they end up with
is notably contemporary. I donÆt feel that Calix has ever before
managed to achieve this kind of focus on a record, her solo
efforts have felt occasionally quite indecisive, æPush Door to
ExitÆ then is the perfect place for her to show that she is a
major player in experimental electronic music. I certainly
wouldnÆt recommend this album to everyone, itÆs without a doubt
not an easy listen, but if you want a record that challenges you
and isnÆt afraid to excite your mind then look no further.
