Temple Ov BBV Vinyl Record

In 1965 the Dutch scientist and psychedelic pioneer Bart Huges embarked on a personal journey by taking an electric dentists drill and using it to open a hole in his skull, theorising that this measure - known as trepanation and chronicled in this book The Mechanics Of Brain Blood Volume (BBV) - would result in enhanced mental power, and in effect a permanent high for the owner of the skull in question. Fifty-one years on, in 2016, this act formed an inspiration for a meeting of mind and matter on an entirely different level, as Salfords imperious collective Gnod locked horns for a collaboration with Dutch psychedelic and experimental force Radar Men From The Moon, also originally set to take place in the Netherlands, at Eindhoven Psych Lab.

Written and recorded in only four days, the result is four uncompromising transmissions, informed equally by stark intensity and hypnotic repetition. Temple Of BBV sees both acts spurring the other on to higher peaks of intensity. Both bands had agreed from the off that we were not just gonna go in there and just jam and play over each other for hours in the hope that something good would happen elaborates Gnods Paddy Shine. We went in with the mindset of creating sound structures which turned out to be a very gratifying process
