VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA - So-Called Texture

Instant compositions by Julian Bradley, Neil Campbell, Adam Davenport, Michael Flower and John Godbert. Recorded live in Manchester on 16 October 2016, live to two-track with no edits. "Most of your required elements are present and correct from the off, with a clanging cymbal choral and electro-siren whoop announcing the single-note mantra of Part 1. Its blurred-round-the-edges proclamation comes on like some droog commune procession across Ilkley Moor, mixing devotion and hedonism in a slurred mousse of noise. Parts 2 and 4 up the rock music ante, with a nice spiralling guitar line reaching through the carpentry workshop clonk in the former and a full-on VU Banana stomp in the latter. My favourite, however, is the beatific glom of Part 3, its rising organ riff and constipated Brotzmann yowl insufficient to derail the blanket of its luminous drone cocoon." - We Need No Swords.
