august 2008 release ; ruthlessly eclectic set from variable-depth lineups of sunburned, recorded both over in the u.k. and back here in good ‘ol massachusetts ...

everything from thrash metal, poetry (quite a lot of poetry, actually), anthemic noise-punk, sparse / spacious group-mumble, electro-acoustic improv, and so on ... (my favorite moment ? rob thomas doing his best bizzy bone impression in a cavernous stairwell) ...

one of the better of these low-run, band-produced editions ; feels like their “new album” and not a throwaway side/vanity project (kind of ballsy for a band of sunburned’s stature to release their “new album” as a self-produced double-cdr, isn’t it?) - this is prob. the first single title i’ve heard of theirs that even comes close to capturing the wide range of influences & iconography that’s been haunting the various members of the troop since day one. highly recommended !!!

ps ; just realized why i recognize adam nodelman’s name ; he was (briefly) borbetomagus’ 4th member !!!

vibracathedral orchestra “smoke song” long playing record

  • smoke song
  • cholita maria

  • get it? got it… good!
february 2010 release ; third & final entrant to this contemporary trilogy - starts out with a fantastically “hot” tabla / flute droner with tons of detuned string playing & a constant drone backing that doesn’t quit for a good 10 minutes ; eventually leading into a more “mellow” farfisa / pedal steel / hand-drum burner ... the b-side is a non-stop thrill ride of tremolo guitar, moloney’s krautrock-pulse & layers of sparkling electronics that remind of ... well ... faust’s “krautrock” (played at 78rpm) ...

any single piece within these three lps contains enough in the way of unique ideas / executions to fuel the entire discography of a lesser act ... they should be investigated upon with the fullest of your attention/energy ; highly recommended !!!

vibracathedral orchestra / smoke song
vhf
lp • vhf 121
street date: february 2nd, 2010

the ever-mysterious vibracathedral orchestra returns from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre jams on a trio of limited-edition lps. slightly reorganized around a line-up of stalwarts mick flower and adam davenport with frequent collaborators john godbert (total) and john moloney (sunburned hand of the man), the band here stretches way, way out over these six sides.

smoke song's more gentle exposition starts with davenport's santoor (a type of hammered dulcimer) leading the band into a lengthy mid-tempo groove on "smoke song," followed on the second half of the side by the short, quiet "cholita maria." the second side's 17-minute "get it?" lays down the tremolo and phase in a manner reminiscent of the best spacemen 3 comedowns, taking a pulse and riding it into organ- and percussion-fueled bliss.

vibracathedral orchestra “the secret base” long playing record

  • the secret base
  • if you can’t smoke ‘em, sell ‘em

  • eyes of wood
february 2010 release ; second in the trilogy - starts out with a wild bit of michael’s shaahi-baaja (listen to the first past of the sound-sample) before segueing into an almost honky-tonk / later zeppelin-feeling “mystical” jam with bits of laser-zap electronics & a constant harmonic pulse ... the flip offers a continuous flitting romp through a bunch of different, mainly vocal-led styles rife with errant bells & shakers creating one hell of a mood ...

these guys haven’t sounded this good in years ; highly recommended !!!

lp • vhf 120
street date: february 2nd, 2010

the ever-mysterious vibracathedral orchestra returns from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre jams on a trio of limited-edition lps. slightly reorganized around a line-up of stalwarts mick flower and adam davenport with frequent collaborators john godbert (total) and john moloney (sunburned hand of the man), the band here stretches way, way out over these six sides.

the secret base starts up at full throttle, straight into a raw-sounding live outing, with flower's overdriven guitar occupying the same sonic space that gives his japan banjo / shaahi baaja workouts with chris corsano their urgency. the sound is dark and rough, almost xpressway-like in its claustrophobic atmosphere. the percolating krautrock stylings of "if you can't smoke 'em" chugs along hypnotically for over 13 minutes to close out the side. the entire b-side's 20+ minutes are devoted to the clanging free sound of "eyes of wood," where gamelan-like metal percussion dominates the proceedings.

vibracathedral orchestra “joka baya” long playing record

  • the bad serpent
  • a mirrored pyramid (for js)
  • es inaceptable para mí
  • rich witch
  • natterjack

  • rag alap iv
february 2010 release ; first of three concurrently-released lps from a scaled-back lineup of vco (michael “mick” flower & adam davenport, plus john godbert & sunburned’s john moloney) ...

here they launch into a bunch of divergent modes on the a-side - a (cleanly recorded ; in fact most of the side sounds “studio quality”) percussion-led incantation into a rainbow-dome floater, then into some fine beausoleil-esque acid guitar spew, then a great flutes, organs, & hand-drums bit (first part of the sound-sample), then an almost deep-purple-ian “metallic” tone cluster (the second) ... on the flip there’s a side-length “in the red” style raga highlighting moloney’s overmodulated drum-kit work alongside some static tanpura & fizzing synths ...

all amazing stuff ; a very auspicious start to the trilogy ... highly recommended !!!

street date: february 2nd, 2010

joka baya offers up a set of shorter pieces on the a-side in a high-fidelity style that contrasts the dark, smoky sound of the rest of the tracks. the percussive grooves are overlaid with sunroof!-like shimmer, stabbing electric leads, gentle acoustic rain, and droning organ peeking through at opportune moments. the roaring side-long epic on the flip is a droning, phasing slice of psychedelia with moloney's drums battering the tape in between long stretches of humming stasis.

vhf#105 sunroof! panzer division lou reed cd

beneath the usual lovely psychedelic artwork on the cover of panzer division lou reed lurks sunroof’s most explosive and assaultive record ever. the key track here in the sunroof! evolution is the opening “slew plateaus #1,” with mick flower (vibracathedral orchestra) on guitar and john moloney (sunburned hand of the man) on drums. this live shot of electricity gradually ramps up from matt bower and mick flower’s dueling guitars to when moloney’s drums come crashing in after about six minutes, leading to a furious crescendo that lasts for the remainder of the 19 minute track.

“slew plateaus #2” is a lengthy collaboration with underground gadabout mattin, whose previous collabs with tony conrad, bruce russell, eddie prevost et al hopefully prepared him for the mb wrecking ball which is delivered here. the other two cuts are absolutely blistering demolition work, which in spite of their visceral impact, reach a state of zen-like stasis after a couple of minutes, ala the best of mb’s work with hototogisu.
