Vibracathedral Orchestra

Squeeze the Lids Through Coming Window
** Edition of 300 transparent red vinyl. 2021 Stock ** A piercing hum awakens alien skreeks and insect antennae and fluttering seedpod drifts and curled leaf wails… reedy twirlings dance above organic-machine wheeling thuds… hopping whistles accompany descending klangs, producing a rushing stasis, a clattering bliss, a reverential noise. Vibracathedral Orchestra’s trademark levitation drone returns to earth to offer two sidelong utopias, a revolving array of instruments selected in turn by the m…

"The mighty 'classic' lineup of the Vibracathedral Orchestra returns with their first new music in many years. Here the quintet of Michael Flower, Neil Campbell, Bridget Hayden, Adam Davenport and Julian Bradley (joined by raconteur John Godbert) feature in a set of upbeat tracks that put the group's radical instrumental strategies into a package of full-on rock action. Recorded live using a binaural head system, the sound is nicely ragged in a you-are-there way, with scouring guitars and …
Vibracathedral Orchestra
Public service reissue of this impossibly rare and choice title in the Vibra oeuvre, originally issued by the band in 2004 as an edition of 250. Featuring the “classic” lineup (Mick Flower, Neil Campbell, Bridget Hayden, Adam Davenport, Julian Bradley) that made “Queen of Guess” (vhf#77) and “Dabbling With Gravity and Who You Are” (vhf#66), this self-titled double takes a wild ride through the inner-workings of VCO’s stream of consciousness. Many of the tracks (selected from research & dev…
Smoke Song
Third in a trio of limited edition new LP’s from the ever mysterious Vibracathedral crew, returning from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre’ jams. Slightly reorganized around a lineup 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, taking in several different styles while maintaining “that” sound all the way through…

Wisdom Thunderbolt
Oh psychedelic-noise fans your saviours have returned! After a three year absence (okay so there were loads of odd limited releases, but no proper albums) they're back with 'Wisdom Thunderbolt' which to my mind one of the collective's strongest offerings to date. You might have caught members of this psych supergroup dotting themselves around the sprawling scene - I know whenever I go to a gig these days I try to spot the Vibracathedral member - it's a bit like a geeky muso's version of 'Where's…
The Queen Of Guess
Masterful, transcendental psychedelia from the mighty Vibracathedral Orchestra, who prove they're capable of making a varied and multifaceted din on this nine-track, seventy-one minute album. The group truly excels on the two long-form pieces (both 'Ramshackle Sunrise' and 'Goodnight Stars Goodnight AIr' hover around the twenty-minute mark), although the shorter tracks reveal the wealth of different instrumental approaches that goes into making up the band's considerable repertoire. It's that ma…
