Bill Laswell’s musical projects show a person who always manages to profoundly include a different set of sonic landscapes in his work. Still, the genre of jazz remains something of his backbone, so we shouldn’t be surprised to find him a few such outfits. One of them was Last Exit, we mentioned them before, but I must admit they may not be the best place to start with Mr. Laswell, because the band plays quite a complex variant of a style. Sure, you can use their Iron Path as an entry point for the band of free jazz, yet I am unsure about the LP being a way to introduce you to Mr. Laswell. Actually, what would be a great way to get into his opus? While I do have a proposal about that, I think the best way to deal with him is to pick a random disc of his and go from there.
Bill Laswell's eclecticism can be attributed to the fact he started his career in a scene that had connections to many genres, including free jazz. To be honest, I think the latter, which was one of those that wanted to break down the traditional version of their original idioms, influenced him the most. The best case for that can be found on him being a member of Last Exit, a free jazz combo that managed to outnoise several heavy metal bands. Of course, you cannot hear that on their only studio album Iron Path, since it sounds subdued. Nonetheless, you can notice on it that they were a gathering of interesting musicians who did great work together. The tunes on it may not resemble the aural assault of their live shows, they replace it with an incredible understanding of sonic textures.

Last Exit - Iron Path - look what just came to Bandcamp!
All-star quartet Last Exit garnered its reputation with a string of unrelentingly forceful concert recordings in which it pushed the energy style of free jazz to its limits. When the group went into the studio for the only, though, a very different sort of album resulted—very different not only from all their other output, but even from anything else ever heard from anyone at that time. Because of that, when it was released in 1988, some fans and critics didn't know what to make of it. This was, in a way, understandable, because Iron Path was so far ahead of its time that perhaps only now, over a quarter of a century later, is there an audience prepared for this album's pioneering hybrid of abstract heavy metal, unsettling ambient music, and free improvisation. Back in 1988, "Darkwave" hadn't yet been conceived, much less named and niched. The brutal sonic assault of Last Exit's live albums is not banished; it lurks below the surface on Iron Path, sometimes allowed to break through for a moment of stark contrast. But the unremitting density of texture heard in the quartet's shows is stripped back in favor of more subtle and varied textures, sculpting an atmosphere of moody brooding and sinister suspense. And, of course, the studio also allowed for far greater sonic clarity, putting these virtuoso players in a setting that shows off their masterful command of myriad timbres. In a world that has since become accustomed to hearing Earth, Pelican, Blut Aus Nord, Aphex Twin's Ambient Works sets, and Oöphoi, and artists such as Whote who explore the overlap between them, Iron Path can finally get its due, and an audience schooled to appreciate what it offers.
