O Soundtrack My Heart

pivot are an awe-inspiring juggernaut of rhythmic, wordless melodies - not quite post-rock, not just electronica. pivot are no strangers to musical endeavour, its members having recorded and performed in collaboration with the likes of prefuse73, flanger, savath and savalas, qua, jan jelinek, burnt friedman and damo suzuki, along with several international releases of their own side projects, past and present (roam the hello clouds, triosk, dave miller's minimal techno for background records and laurenz pike's solo drum explorations). pivot are a rare combination of the emotive and cerebral, harnessing the raw garage energy of three explosive musicians along side intensive studio production. part prog-warrior, part slacker-geek, their music and approach provide something much needed in a world of nowhere music (being listened to in nowhere bars), equally influenced by synthesizer luminaries vangelis and jean-michel jarre, warp label mates autechre and the post-punk new wave of talking heads, pivot's warp album debut 'o soundtrack my heart' exudes an omnipresent sense of melodrama and what can only be described as a sort of 'apocalyptic joy'. the cd comes packaged in deluxe digipack featuring the breathtaking artwork of michel grainger (who previously did artwork for jean michel jarre).
