holden: circle of fifths

Of all of the Class A synth-jams contained within James Holden's monumental album proclamation The Inheritors, 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 "Tool" version is more of a deep-and-dirty primal club freak-out that brings the lunatic gibbering of the mysterious Shimble right to the forefront. The "Dub," meanwhile, transposes the pagan aesthetic of the album for the communal ritual of the club dancefloor, while the final bonus "Gibbersolo" lets Shimble's Gollum-esque madness rip in a disturbing a cappella form.
