REVIEW: ANIXAS Outer Space Located In Debris Field, 2011


ANIXAS
Outer Space Located In Debris Field
EP - Jamendo download, 2011http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/96196
Repeat of the 3P. Weird ambience, screaming, reverbed to hell, sounds like the soundtrack to an old martian film, you know the one. "Large Cargo Ship" features a nice pile of samples and synthesizer splats and filters. "Search For Life Forms" is a a sparse take on robotic vocoder sounds. If this is a concept album, then we take this track as literally being a search for lifeforms. "Feeling Isolated On The Ship" is very similar, albeit with more bass in the vocoder.

Questions by Russ Stedman

Do you remember the first record you bought?
Very hard to say.  For singles, it could have been PINBALL WIZARD by the Who, or CRIMSON AND CLOVER by Tommy James and the Shondells.  Albums, it was probably GOD BLESS TINY TIM or the soundtrack to BONNIE AND CLYDE.  And I'd still buy those records.  Maybe not HAIR, though.

What bands from childhood have you NOT outgrown?
Probably the Beatles, Beach Boys, Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa. Jimi Hendrix, the Who, and Black Sabbath are still great but I played them way too much.  Jethro Tull and Deep Purple, I feel kind of silly now that I was SO into them.
