V/A-KICKS, CDR, 2003, VARIOUS

This 100 copy experimental compilation was intended for gig-only distribution, though a few ultimately leaked out to distributors. The known entities are the ones of most interest here, with a typically spectacular and lengthy keyed-into-the-cosmos shambolic trance outing (off the more energetic tip of their aesthetic) from Vibracathedral Orchestra being a decided high point. So too is Matthew Bower's contribution under his Sunroof! guise, a truly delirious escalating electronic vortex concocted out of the initially bucolically gorgeous and arcadian, while elsewhere, Birchville Cat Motel strap a vibrating harmonic hairball onto your temples until it's static electric charge nearly pulls the fillings loose from your teeth.
