Two pseudonymous hairy biker types, Vybik Jon and Common Era, travelled to the Orkneys in the Summer of 2010 to sit unselfconsciously in Neolithic chambered tombs and improvise appropriate responses, using only their mouths and things they found on the floor.
Seasoned vocal extemporists like Phil Minton or Yamantaka Eye might have pulled this off.
Black Sheep VC don’t. But Orcadia is heroically ludicrous, its spirited barking, bleating and bellowing occasionally approaching near-transcendent note splitting.
And a beautifully designed and academically thorough booklet consolidates this future cult classic.
